They forgot to list one of the major items of suspicion for escalation - not opting in to Oversight.
I opted in. Iâm hoping to be granted full citizenship.
Brilliant. But for some reason I kept expecting the Vogons to turn up.
Brilliant.

dont give the bastards ideas⌠expect this to become Tory party policy in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1âŚ
Umm⌠Iâm kinda part of a moderation system similar to this at okcupid.com, having used the site for about two years and communicated regularly with other members I was deemed safe to become a moderator. Basic process was almost identical to Overwatch apart from one crucial point: users had to report violations of terms of service before I could see anything about a reported indecent.
Ok it was only looking at either conversations (with names removed) that had been released by one party as possible harassment or profile information publicly available on the site and for the most part I think it was an easy way for the company to manage there complains process. I can see how some mindless drone could see this as being practical to apply to all internet security and that scares me.
Finally a clear explanation of David Cameronâs âBig Societyâ.

âPolitical parties have nothing to do with religious problems, as long as these are not alien to the nation, undermining the morals and ethics of the race; just as religion cannot be amalgamated with the scheming of political parties.â ~Adolf Hitler, âMein Kampfâ, Vol. 1, Chapter 3
Edit: something tells me I better put a #sarcasm hastag here.
The dating industry is not a model to be applauded.
Iâd agree that online dating isnt the most ethical of industries. I was just trying to point out a system where (in my opinion) crowd sourced moderation works reasonably well and how a technologically ignorant government policy operative could see it as being something that could be applied to all situations regardless of privacy.
Also much as Iâm not able to view the panorama edition you posted Iâd take it with a pretty big shovel full of salt. After watching the Panorama report on video game addiction Iâm wary of the program sensationalizing any issue investigated.
âScott nails the weirdly upbeat and blandly evil voice of global corporatism democratically-elected government and produces something that is chillingly convincing.â
FTFY. Letâs be honest: whether youâre a fan or not, global corporatism just wants to make a buck. They donât care if youâre a terrorist, they donât care if your kids see porn, they donât care if youâre interested in weird religions: they just want to sell you something. The only reason they would be involved is exactly whatâs in the video - they are getting paid to do the governmentâs dirty work. Whatâs a corporation going to do with a search warrant? Take away your airline points or gift card? Itâs the government you elected that wants to control what you say and do and get your neighbors to spy on you.
Government, at least in the US and UK, is not democratically elected. The whole political process is owned and controlled by and small number of conservative capitalists. The upper class promotes the drug war, terror war, racism, religion, etc in order to exploit and oppress the working class.
Maybe corporations donât care if youâre a terrorist but they do care if youâre a socialist; especially, if you happen to be an anti-global-corporatism-kind-of-socialist and I believe that the terrorism wrapper on all this is just there to hide the main agenda of setting up a spying apparatus to nip things like Occupy in the bud or to prepare for growing environmental activism that is sure to result from climate change.
Well, at last theyâre thanking me for all my hard work over the last few years working in the pilot project. Up to now,all weâve really had to show for it has been the priority channels at airports. Oh, and of course, the ability to turn on our neighboursâ and colleagueâs laptop and phone-cams.
Itâs kind of altered office dynamics, now I know about my bossâs extra-curricular âmeetingsâ, and Shirleyâs tattoos.
Neat. Iâm volunteering for Phase-II, now, ability to edit and alter other peopleâs websites.
If your assertion is true, then thatâs all the more reason to oppose them rather than blame âcorporatismâ as the culprit. The fact remains that government is the only organization approved by society to actually harm people by throwing them in jail or killing them. Remove that, and you remove both the threat of this kind of surveillance and the means by which it is enforced. What is the conspiracy of âconservative capitalistsâ going to do then?
if you are so naive as to imagine that being thrown in jail or killed is the only way your life can be made miserable, then youâll deserve what you get when the anarcho-capitalist libertarian paradise finally touches down on earth from its trip around the noosphere.
Isnât it far more naive to believe that giving people permission to use violent aggression to achieve their desired goals is going to result in something other than what the video discusses? Isnât it far more naive to believe that granting power to the power-hungry will result in anything but tyranny?
you are conveniently forgetting about all of the bad people that big government is too busy or fragile to prosecute.
Endangering your freedom and your life with impunity might not be official fascism but it sure does look, smell and feel like it.
