Surveilance bill rushed through Australian parliament in 24 hours
I&#x27;m most curious about what they mean by &quot;ADDING&quot; data...<p>Does this mean the police can create a social media account in your name? Imagine for instance that they suspect one of your family members of tax evasion. Can they create a fake social media account or email account registered to you, and impersonate you for the sake of entrapping someone else? Like hey uncle, love your new car, got any hot accounting tips? I don&#x27;t even see anything in these laws that says the person whose data they&#x27;re accessing has to be the target of the investigation.<p>Imagine if at any time in any chat, even with your partner or parent or child, you couldn&#x27;t know whether you were actually talking with them or a government agent, perhaps because someone they know is tangentially suspected of a crime - without the matter even being brought before a judge. Terrifying. This is how societies turn into places where everyone is completely fearful of saying anything at all.
