And no, I don't trust the government just randomly watching information without a court order, but, meh. Police state on the Horizon?

This is one of the reasons that 9/11 spawned those False Flag conspiracy theories. Even saying it wasn't one, the government is certainly taking every advantage of it.

Governments all over the world have been trying to police and enforce their own laws on the internet for more than a decade now. If anything the US is playing catchup to other more obviously totalitarian governments. It's only a matter of time to be honest.

It's interesting to see how total surveillance through cameras becomes more and more unnecessary, because people are more and more willing to carry smartphones that can be used for continuous, precise tracking.

So, that means he was right about big companies selling backdoors to Secret Service?
Funnily enough it is only in retrospect I can see what that might have my question why this device that has no reason whatsoever to be online - and malfunction may be lethal - is remotely hackable. If they are controlling it over Android to save costs and Android has a backdoor... Or maybe he meant they too were paid for providing access?

UK press is going ape shit over this one. For them I think it's the phone hacking scandal on a much bigger scale. They basically want to know who knew about it in parliament and then let the heads role. Pretty standard really. Naturally all the big companies like google ect have come out insisting they knew nothing and didn't allow the US any access.

As for me, I'm not to bothered about it. If you're not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about.

This bit made me laugh

Why do I immediately think some kid put together some really shitty presentation and sent it to them.
