I find it interesting that the Dutch push to change the intelligence law coincides with a similar one currently taking place in my home country of Romania.
I wonder if these are actually part of a more coordinated attempt to tacitly make the (broadly speaking) West more authoritarian and tightly controlled.
- layer8 4y agoNever attribute to malice…
- beebeepka 4y agoHa, that's what the spooks always say but it's pure malice all the way down. People in control didn't end up there due their stupidity.
- croes 4y agoThe malicious use the stupid. So it's kind of both.

- danuker 4y agoMaybe their logic is: in order to beat Russia you must become Russia (which I strongly disagree with).
- atemerev 4y agoYeah, since the attacking force should be at least three times as large as the defending force, we must become three times as bad as Russia. (Please don't).
- jessaustin 4y agoThey may be ill-advised, but I do admire the sort of nation where these changes to the law are required in the first place.
- TimJRobinson 4y agoI would assume it's just about increasing efficiency of "catching the bad guys". AI and dragnets are much easier to catch people with than manual processing, and as with any other company you want to use the most efficient tools possible and rarely consider the consequences.
