I always wondered if we could steal every piece of private/personal data the politician demanding these laws has and expose it for all the whole world to see, what that might do to their attitude. We might even find some real criminals this way.
- sbhn 8y agoThe people need the personal data and communications of the politician for there security
- Klathmon 8y agoSimilar things have happened in the past, in the vast majority of cases the politician doubles down and ends up spending more time and resources trying to prosecute the hacker, and use it as an example of why they need to go further with these kinds of laws so they can find these "hackers" before they can do damage.
- sbhn 8y agoThe word ‘steal’ was used ironically. If I looked at you, and decided to write myself a law that allows me to monitor your every move and communication, and I charge you for that monitoring through unavoidable taxes, and I keep the accounting of the costs protected from public scrutiny, and I always remind you it’s done for your security, and me and my friends are making loads of money from the surveillance game, raising the prices and adding more security and justifying more reasons to do so, how do you know it’s not stealing?
