  Creeped Out

  on London's Third Wall And Surveillance Function Creep
  The point of the article is about scope creep. Surveillance orginally intended for TFL is now distributed to police and other agencies.
  That wasn't the original aim; so to do so is wrong. Or maybe it was the original aim and they just lied to the public (for their own protection of course)

  Re: Re: Re: Re: Troll bad, law good, me hungry

  on UK Government Would Like To Put Internet Trolls In Jail For Two Years
  Sadly true. One wonders what the legislation defining 'troll' will look like.
  It's about as daft as saying something is "on-the internet". Strictly speaking, the interweb has nothing 'on it' for very long ... it's just a conduit

  on UK Government Would Like To Put Internet Trolls In Jail For Two Years
  Grayling needs to haul his chocolate starfish down to the local watering hole ... actual people DO say stuff (even rude stuff) face-to-face.

  Protect Who

  on Apple May Want To Protect Your Phone Data From Snooping, But It's Snarfing Up Your Local Desktop Searches
  Is this the same Apple who's directors voted DOWN a motion from the floor at their annual meeting to 'protect users data' ? Hint: Yes

  Phone Encryption

  on Washington Post's Clueless Editorial On Phone Encryption: No Backdoors, But How About A Magical 'Golden Key'?
  You could always really frustrate the feds by not having an idiotPhone in the first place.
  Between the backdoors, the DRM, the camera, the microphone and the GPS you couldn't possibly be expecting privacy anyway.

  Core Business

  on NSA On Snowden's Claims Of Passing Around Nudie Pics: We Totally Wouldn't Allow That... If We Knew About It
  Voyeurism is a standard personality trait for control freaks.

  What Do You Seek

  on TrueCrypt Page Says It's Not Secure, All Development Stopped
  Locks only keep out honest people.
  
  Risk Assessment 101:
  - Who are you hiding data from? The government, your wife or your mom?
  
  - How much of your data really needs to be encrypted? It'll be a small subset of all the bytes you own. In which case you can probably concoct your own disguise for it.

  on Google's Fight Against Distracted Driving Laws Might Not Be A Bad Thing For The Inevitable, Glorious Transhumanist Future
  You mean you want to drive your OWN car? You don't want Google, Intel or the government firmware navigating you? Why? What have you got to hide?? Where are your going that manual control is necessary??? You are clearly a terrorist!!! :-/

  Google Cars (as Lleuadci)

  on Google's Fight Against Distracted Driving Laws Might Not Be A Bad Thing For The Inevitable, Glorious Transhumanist Future
  Yeah .. like the dopes who cant drive can afford a Google Hi-tech Prius poser-mobile. Problem solved? Me thinks not.

  Responsibility

  on DHS Suffers Moment Of Clarity, Shuts Down Plans To Build A Nationwide License Plate Database
  Being in charge of big data is much the same as owning a gun. You have to act responsibly with it so that innocent people aren't harmed.

  Where does it end?

  on MPAA & ICE Confirm They Interrogated A Guy For Wearing Google Glass During A Movie
  So if I wear Google Glasses and stare at a the trademark on a Coke can will the feds crash tackle me?
  God forbid I should watch 22 seconds of CBS News in a storefront window!

  Fair Enough

  on French Telco Orange Plans To Sue The NSA For Tapping Its Undersea Cables
  Telco's make service undertakings to their clients. If the NSA's actions undermine those contractual service agreements then action is justified.

  Within Policy (as Lleud Ci)

  on Fullerton Police 'Use Of Force' Trainer Says No Policies Violated During Beating Death Of Kelly Thomas
  "all things considered, I don’t see anything out of policy"
  
  What did he consider amongst these 'all things'? Career, Peer Pressure, Groupthink?

  Not possible

  on Congressional Oversight? Dianne Feinstein Says She's 'Not A High-Tech Techie' But Knows NSA Can't Abuse Surveillance
  If abuse of NSA systems is not possible they are the only branch of government to achieve uptopia.
  Thousands of Medicare, tax, social security and transport records are trawlled by government employees for 'less than professional' reasons every year. (eg: checking up on your ex-wife's new partner)

  Silence is compliance

  on Saudi Arabia Starts Clamping Down On Encrypted VoIP Services; US And UK Strangely Silent On The Moves
  If Viber gets fingered but Skype et al don't then that tells you all you need to know about backdoors.

  DDoS

  on The Internet Strikes Back: Anonymous Takes Down DOJ.gov, RIAA, MPAA Sites To Protest Megaupload Seizure
  That finding wouldn't stand challenge.
  
  Because of the tools used, DDoS is more akin to disrupting telecommunication services than individuals causing congestion.
  
  Neither does the "protest" tag doesn't negate "law". Breaking one law to protest another doesn't endear people to the cause albeit worthy.

  Ingredients

  on Will The Food Industry Ever Swallow Transparency's Bitter Pill?
  Aside from nutrition, transparency on ingredients needs to exist.
  For example, up to 12% permeate fluid being added to so-called fresh milk.
  
  And for those with allergies, complete declaration of additives. eg: Sulfites < 50ppm.

  Constitutional Rights (as The Moon Dog)

  on Guy Arrested, Threatened With 15 Years For Recording Traffic Stop In Illinois
  I luv listening to American's argue about the bill of rights. You should try living in a country that doesn't have one.
  
  Having said that, turnabout is fair play.
  If the authorities can record, you should be able to.
