Here is an admission from a security expert that this bill which is being implemented to record all our phone calls and intercept all our EMails is going to be just for us as Terrorists and Enemies of the State can just use a common computer tool to bypass it all. It seems Skype is immune to monitoring. So to all terrorists out there you go here and get your software, hardware is available at most computer shops and big stores.
Big Brother is now here – and look, he is retarded. – John Dean “Jeff” Cooper (1920 – 2006)
To all Enemies of the State, ie Patriots, don’t believe it for a minute. Skype, like any corporate, will bend us over for big government so backdoors will be in place as soon as they realise that Patriots are discussing the Constitution on Skype without Big Brother listening in.
However there is plenty of free software out there with the source code for you to pore over and use and for the really technical you can write your own. It’s only software and could save you a life in jail for criticizing the government in what was once a free country.
This just proves it is for the plebs and not the Terrorists. The Terrorists have already won they, and us, are just too stupid to realise it.
Wonder if they thought about that or if it comes as a surprise to the authorities.
There are always round monitoring for those that don’t want to be monitored.
That being said, it’s not about monitoring but about knowledge, and knowledge is power – at least this broken government think so. Never have I seen such a group of uninformed idiots trying to run anything. This has to be part of mandelson’s ‘ministry of truth’.
Oh yes, Ivan, it undoubtedly is.
Hmmmm are they uninformed idiots or masquerading as uninformed idiots?….that is the great conspiracy question.
James,
Perhaps not. They don’t after all have any idea about the legislation they produce and they don’t listen to the experts.
Ivan,
That is true. For Libertarians any monitoring is intrusive. Knowledge is power but sadly for this lot they are very ineffective at actually realising the power from the available knowledge. Too much noise because they scan so deeply that they get too many to checkupon and not enough Stasi.
TEV,
The former. Uninformed idiots No doubt at all.
