Dear Colleagues,
May I conclude then, from the information you have posted on this list
so far; that the world's security services, are at various stages in
collecting, collating and assimilating all data which is transmitted
electronically, whether it be by mobile phone, landline, satellite or
cable. Not only is it being collected, but it is being stored and
analysed and, most importantly, sifted and sorted, and that individual
profiles of every individual who uses such devices is being set up and
information, private, or public, secure or open, is being added to their
databases, and that where alliances and agreements exist, this personal
knowledge about individuals is being shared, and where there are no
agreements, those countries or nation states which have the capabilities
are also helping themselves to such information. And, that as time goes
by, this profiling will increase so that a record of all and every
activity of a private individual will be held on a database somewhere in
the world and be accessible to those who have been given access by the
appropriate nation state...
If so, it sort of backs up what John Young has been saying about the
internet being one big spying organisation. That, in actual fact, is
the easy bit. The problem for you...and for me...and for most of the
population in the world, who as yet don't know about such stuff and if
they do, don't seem to be bothered about it, is what should be done
about it...
Any ideas would be most welcome.
For instance, is there any point in me changing my present strategy
regarding security? Because if I do, then all it means is that I will
suffer increased surveillance and even become a target because someone,
somewhere considers that I am an extremist, because I wish to exercise
my right to privacy, security of my data and be able to conduct my every
day affairs without interference from those who exercise such power.
ATB
Dougie.
