How about applying this kind of surveillance to the government? After all we are paying for them to rules us, so why not publish all government, politicians, law enforcement, military messages for everyone to read? Why everybody must be treated as a criminal, because they cant do their job of keeping us safe?
- Snild 11mo agoWe have that in Sweden and Finland: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_public_access_to_official_records https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principle_of_public_access_to_... The principle says that information is non-confidential by default, rather than the other way around. We can request almost any information held by government agencies, including copies of communication like email and documents. One thing that has surprised European acquaintances is the fact that this includes government-held info about individuals, e.g. address and tax returns.

- CrazyStat 11mo agoWhen I was in Sweden many years ago I was very surprised that you could just call a phone number and they would tell you the name and address of the person or company a vehicle license plate was registered to.
