Alkaline Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Nothing to hide, nothing to fear. This is gonna happen forever, even if they say its not happening. If people want complete privacy, throw your laptop and phone into the river, delete as many online accounts as you can, and then go and live in the Scottish Highlands under a new name. Hand written letters are permitted. Good luck!
Theblacksheep Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 Nothing to hide, nothing to fear. The cry of the stupid. "If one would give me six lines written by the hand of the most honest man, I would find something in them to have him hanged"
Alkaline Posted July 28, 2014 Posted July 28, 2014 More the cry of common sense. I am accepting that monitoring will occur. And that if you are not doing anything wrong under UK law you have nothing to fear. The cry of the stupid comes when something happens and those against snooping complain that nothing was done to stop an incident.

Corruption affected my life and should have had nothing to fear... You're assuming that the system is a just and fair one. It really really isn't.

You're assuming that the system is a just and fair one. It really really isn't. In the case of snooping there are safeguards in place, warrants etc. We work towards a just and fair society, but also a society which is secure. Any person can yield to corruption. That will always be the case. That is why more than one person is involved. Absolute power corrupts absolute so they say. Absolute power is not something that is common place in these sort of things these days. Edited July 28, 2014 by Alkaline
