I respectfully disagree.

If we can raise the cost from $100k per target to $10m per target, even SA will reduce the number and breadth of targets.

They do have limited funds, and they want to see an ROI. At a lower cost, perhaps they’ll just monitor every single journalist who has ever said a bad thing about the king. As that price increases, they’ll be more selective.

Like Matt said, that’s not ideal. But forcing a more highly targeted approach rather than the current fishing trawler is an incremental improvement.
