New excuses for mass surveillance
lundi 7 juillet 2014 à 14:00The UK government has come up with two new excuses to maintain surveillance of everyone.
What they amount to is, "If we can't watch everyone all the time, somewhat more crimes will happen." That's true. But if we allow the state to prevent crimes at any cost, it will oppress us. A state that the people do not control is a bigger danger than the crimes it fails to prevent.
The state itself commits frequent violence when it shows contempt for the people.
