A society with a network that allows easy spying of everyone (panopticon is a geometric shape that allows this for example) WILL INVITE SPYING. Would you give up facebook, google, twitter and Yahoo because a bunch of Jerks in your government are spying on everyone? No you wouldn't. But there is something one can do? Yes, maybe.

  • Routers - software/hardware should be from your country. I wouldn't like it if every router software in my country was from China or the USA, sorry... home bred, home responsibility.
  • Topology - a hub/spoke network is perhaps not the best. Here in Germany everything almost goes through Frankfurt, where do you think they spy/watch us? A full disorganized mesh network may be better because it makes many gateways.
  • making laws to prevent spying DOES NOT HELP.. see tempora the british didn't even know it was going on...

Internet

The Internet is the worlds biggest spying machine. Everything is logged when it can be. So it's up to us to tame this beast. The Internet does not belong to anyone so nobody can be its master but we all make the Internet happen. What this means is that we should be able to stretch the Internet to our wills. Only unity among the people will do this, unity is strength otherwise seperated we'll succumb to the Internet. Don't wait for Internet version two to be placed in your lap. Build it yourself, with the people!

Anonymity Online

Let's get this straight. You are not anonymous even if you are on a dynamic IP. Telco's keep record of who was online at what time on what IP. Google uses cookies to track you and so does most other website. Since a cookie reveals who you are (shadow profile) every time you connect to Google they can go back in time to everything you ever searched for as soon as your identity is known to them. It makes no difference if you are on dynamic IP or a static IP the only difference is with a static IP everyone else knows that it's you... not just google.

PRISM

Is a programme run by the NSA in the USA. Ed Snowden worked for them as a contractor in Hawaii. NSA stands for National Security Agency.

Edward Snowden said that it has come to a point where they store massive amounts of data and archive it. I presume then when anyone acts strange (a trigger event) they will pull all available data on that person. Snowden says it's not the type of society that he wants to live in.

Tempora

The British PRISM. When british politicians were asked by Germanys Justice Minister Sabine Leutheuser-Schnarrenberger to what extend they spy on Germany's residents she was told to "ask the GCHQ", meaning that the ministers in the UK do not have a clue what is going on on their territory. It seems GCHQ has gotten out of control. GCHQ is the british NSA.

Echelon

May not exist anymore. It used to watch over all satellite communications. The states that ran Echelon are now called the "Five Eyes" countries because there is 5 of them (USA, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand). It may have more allied countries in its wake.


1984

1984 is a novel by George Orwell, written in the late 1940's. The author predicted that the world would be like he depicted it in 1984. Well it's 30 years later now, and I think we have almost arrived, humans privacy has been erradicated and we're much more alone than before. And government seems to have no solutions to this, in fact they build up more spying facilities as you read this.
