From Michael Krieger at libertyblitzkrieg.com:

Cannataci says we are dealing with a world even worse that anything Orwell could have foreseen. “It’s worse,” he said. “Because if you look at CCTV alone, at least Winston was able to go out in the countryside and go under a tree and expect there wouldn’t be any screen, as it was called. Whereas today there are many parts of the English countryside where there are more cameras than George Orwell could ever have imagined. So the situation in some cases is far worse already.

– UN Privacy chief, Joseph Cannataci

The UN special rapporteur on privacy, Joseph Cannataci, pulls no punches when it comes to privacy. It’s hard to disagree with what he has to say.

From the Guardian:

The first UN privacy chief has said the world needs a Geneva convention style law for the internet to safeguard data and combat the threat of massive clandestine digital surveillance.

  1. Brought up in the Red Menace days, the stories about their “thought police” used to make me quite sad for anyone living in the Eastern Bloc.

    Though one thing is absolutely clear about living in the Untied (not a typo) Kingdom.

    There is little freedom to move, live, or communicate without being under scrutiny.

    Disarmed, living under political correctness and forced multiculturalism, every facet of life is recorded digitally, cataloged and then that data sold on to big business.

    Your money isn’t your own, and freedom of expression (let alone thought) is regarded as “subversive” if not criminal.

    Add the draconian laws which favor alien nationalities and their faiths above that of the indigenous population, we truly are a nation of proles.

    Just think, some people actually WANT to come to live here.
