Let us do this illegal thing or we'll violate you...My phone is encrypted.  Unless they're going to pay the Israelis $100K to unlock it, they're not getting *suitcase* from me.  Apart from whatever sticks to their fingers.  They can have that for free.

 

But lets be serious.  It's a complete violation.  Think of all the possible stuff on your phone, banking info, dirty pics of the OH, industry secrets e.t.c. They could do anything to it.  Clone it, add stuff, whatever.

 

Nothing to hide bla, bla, bla.  That's not the point.  It's the principle.

The best privacy measure is remaining inconspicuous. If the police have no reason to raid your house and trawl your hard drives, then they won't bother. They're busy. If they *do* then nothing you can do will keep them out, and the harder you make it the more damage and time it'll take to get in and see what they want to see.

 

 

 

The police don't need to raid your house and trawl your harddrives.

 

Everything you do on the internet is saved for analysis later.

 

Bear in mind that such measures are not to be used against terrorists or whatever - that is easy. the "next big thing" is understanding how populations support (and to what degree) political movements. MOD surveys indicated that the occupation of iraq had the support of only 5% of the population. 

 

Also it's not just the police. If the IPA is passed look foward to the following having access:

edit: you can play about with VPNs and all that good stuff, but the most effective, and depressing solution is to simply: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.

Of course. Remember how the "war on drugs" started? Nixon couldn't make being a lefty or a black person illegal, so instead he cracked down on the favorite drugs of some of them, then started a smear campaign about how all African-Americans are crack-smoking gangsters and all lefties are sex-obsessed, permanently stoned hippies (who are mostly gay).

 

And don't expect them to uncover another pedo scandal, despite all sorts of cop shops having access to what people do online. At least not until it's politically convenient or the perp is dead like Jimmy SoVile.

They'd get a strong no from me asking to take my unlocked phone away...

 

Technically the border isn't in the US so US laws don't apply, they can apply a lot of pressure.

They told him he would be staying in a featureless cell and unable to contact anyone until he capitulated.

 

I get that you shouldn't have to tell anyone anything if you're legit, but stunt, why are you going to these extremes?

 

Genuine question. I know I work for the man, but I'm not biased that way. Curious as to why you're doing this, when the chance of you coming in is I'm guessing minimal at best, and having your devices searched needs a bloody good reason.

 

Again, genuine wonder from me :)

 

We should all do it.

Some people have a genuine need for this level of privacy.  If they are the only ones who use it they will stick out.

They should blend in.

 

I am not being over protective of my privacy, almost everyone else is being blase and underprotective.

 

In your job you have a strong reason to keep the details of your private life out of the public domain.

 

Kinda agree here. ^

There are worse problems in our life.

 

As much as I don't like people peeping in, I'm but an average joe.

 

And yet, you had your Rockstar account hacked and lost your GTA progress.

 

That could almost certainly have been avoided.

 

 

 

 

As we live more and more of our lives online more and more of our lives are vulnerable to faceless criminals defrauding us, corporations stealing private data for profit and overzealous or even corrupt government organisations spying on us.

 

 

The in a glass box thing is an interesting analogy.

Perhaps you don't want to *suitcase* in a bank vault either.  That's fine.

 

But a tiny percentage of people are terrorists and you can identify them by how they *suitcase*.

 

So now the government wants to stop terrorism, it says that everyone has to *suitcase* on CCTV and their *suitcases* will be recorded.

 

The terrorists will ignore the law.  News flash: They are already breaking laws, they don't care.

The only outcome of the law is that nobody else can take a *suitcase* in peace.

Quite true, and yet I have so much on my mind that I can't specialise in a Master ICT security. I'm sure my 'hacker' had it easy since it appeared my email server ( well, my brothers..) didn't have annynsecurity except from my pw. They could just walk in I guess. I'll just rumble a little and move on. It's been fixed.

 

It all makes me so tired...

What the *fruitcage*?

Now that you say this, I think I'll start transitioning my important dealings over to my Gmail account. The one I use for some things is so ######-poor that I'm drowning in spam there, and vice versa, some mail servers straight up blacklisted the domain long ago because of how easy it was to spoof it and/or use it for spam distribution.

 

Also, I'm having blood drawn tomorrow morning. Which means getting up at *fruitcage* you o'clock, without a breakfast.

Why is it that the government never seems to realise that more laws aren't the answer to people breaking the law?

 

It's exactly the same as crime in general and gun/knife crime in particular.

 

Media/lobbyists: "Criminals killed some people with guns/knives! Do something!"

 

Government: "We will act swiftly to ban guns/knives."

 

Sensible people: "The law will only penalise decent people who wish to own guns/knives for legal purposes. Criminals, by definition, don't care about breaking the law."

 

Media/lobbyists: "Think of the children! Won't somebody *purlease* think of the children!?!"

Because the voice of the simpleton is louder than the voice of the rational person, and the fickle government will flip flop to whoever they will get the most votes.
