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...


PRISM

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.
