[? GCHQ is profiling each user unique Internet, according to new Snowden files published by the Intercept . At this point, the story should not be the watchdogs record every thing you do in the clear, but people are always surprised about it. We are well beyond Orwellian and it is time that people realize.
Imagine that. The British spy agency has personal records of each person who has ever been online, monitoring every visit to every site possible. Stasi would be green with envy. Erich Honecker would be proud. After all, the Stasi files were only a large part of the East German population.
Indeed, yes, we could imagine it exactly. At present, we must know that all unencrypted traffic is tapped, for no other reason than because it may be tapped. Supervisory agencies have demonstrated loud and clear that they are completely outside the scope of the law and fundamental rights of privacy.
We already knew that the GCHQ intercepts and stores absolutely everything in storage in rotation, the analysis as much as they can while still in store. Bottom line :. if you are not using encrypted communications, you must know now that at least three government agencies are monitoring everything you do
The difference is one of attitude: the defenders of life private assume, based on experience, that monitoring organizations do everything technically possible with today's technology. It seems that many people still think these agencies respect a kind of law or constitution. They do not.
It should be noted here that the FBI Hoover went even intact for a long time, especially because Hoover was embarrassing files on all holders of power that could make anything close Hoover down. Now can you imagine that today watchdogs know their opponents?
This is no fantasy. When the Swedish watchdog, the FRA, was argued before a bill giving it a carte blanche permission for bulk wiretapping without warrant, you will see the IP addresses of the agency in the visitors log on each blog critical of it every morning. He did not even hidden. And of course, it was only the open part of keeping track of their political opponents.
This is the same GCHQ had a program called optic nerve as listening to popular video conversations (the penny should start falling, as they are wiretapping all ). Yes, including wiretapping naked conversations between those who like them. Now GCHQ power of having this material is not having a naked picture of someone - this is who bare chatting with each other. Say, hypothetically, a senator married oversee the NSA would chatted lightly dressed with a British person - to whom the senator not married? That is where the value lies. Yes, that would be exorbitant. And yet, it happened again and again and again and again. Is it time to start learning history, yet?
I hear many people dismiss comparisons between today and oversight bodies, eg, East Germany Stasi (the Ministerium für Staatssicherheit , coincidentally translate State Ministry of security or more contemporarily national security Agency ). People are right to reject such comparisons as unfair, but not for the reason that these people think. The human mind is very poor to understand the differences of several orders of magnitude.
When comparing apples to apples, the only stores NSA nine orders of magnitude more data on citizens that the East German Stasi ever made. It is more invasive by a factor of one billion. Nine zeros.
These wiretaps watchdogs all, record everything, all cross-reference. This is not a joke and it is time to act accordingly.
Privacy remains your own responsibility.
