Sure - as it happens my nation (Australia) has far fewer of the kind of entanglements that prompt this particular activity, compared to Israel. But you can entirely sure that if we did, we'd allow tech spying lobbyists to write the necessary laws to cover them.
- somesortofsystm 7y agoAustralia is about 100x better at hiding its entanglements than Israel, which has had an overt show of force policy for decades. Australia, on the other hand, has so many layers and levels of secrecy around its state-run operations of this nature, that its impossible, truly, to really ever know. Australia leads the way when it comes to repressing free speech and the public right of knowledge over what is being done in their name by the ADF, and has even taught Israel a few things or two about keeping its internal populations at heel when something nasty inevitably leaks out. And then there is that whole secret court, secret prison, secret prisoner thing.
