UK surveillance “worse than 1984” says new UN privacy chief
Disclaimer: I am one of the most paranoid people I know and I know some pretty radical left-wing hippies.<p>I never understood why people hate CCTV cameras - they are in public places. Places where anyone can film you at any time. Public places are not private. Online surveillance has better arguments against it but 90% of Internet surveillance is by permission (possibly given by people who are not fully aware they are giving it). It is not as bad as this hyperbole makes it out to be.<p>But if articles like this is what it will take to finally get mesh network projects off the ground then I'm happy to be outraged.
