Personally i'm pretty annoyed that people seem all to willing to let massive data mining operations know everything they have ever done on the internet because they are scared of the terrorists who have less chance in killing them than they have of being struck by lightning.How the fuck do NZers get to the point in not caring what the US does in the name of defending themselves against terrorism when NZ has barely been affected by it.God forbid what people will be willing to give up when really under threat.
Been thinking on this and for me there are different layers to my privacyOur personal privacy is sacrosanct, no reading my mail, wiretapping without a warrant and general fuckery when I am going about my lawful business and living my life in an open and fair democracy.My virtual privacy I seem to have another outlook on, I don't expect the same level of privacy when I am engaging with the internet. I don't feel very comfortable with the idea that they can store everything we have done on the net but how the fuck do they commit the man power to look through it all. Surely after time "they" would have to dump old useless data. We are debating the US coming clean about what they are doing but how many other states are doing exactly this and more and we hear nothing about it. China are committing huge resources to this type of espionage, as I'm sure is Putin.It's 420 soon time for smoke signals :chuncky:
What do you think happens when you type a google search?
Someone still has to sift through it tho eh?
Interesting.http://prism-break.org/It seems now is a very opportune moment for anyone with a fledgling social network to pounce and grab some market share with the simple "NSA/PRISM free" statement
Thats not why its laughable. It's laughable because peoples shitty life details, as disturbing and sick as they probably are, wouldn't be of much interest compared to commercial information on deals and new technology.
