Big Brother Takes Computer Surveillance Software a Little Too Far.

How do you really feel about computer surveillance software?

Do you even know how far the government has gone to violate your basic right of privacy and security?

In the name of protecting your “rights” and your “security” and your ‘freedoms’ the government has reached an all new low in terms of violating these basic rights.

When was the last time you actually read a Privacy Policy?

Privacy is one of those elusive terms in today’s day and age, and seems to be one of those basic human rights that is protected… on paper.

While Corporate America puts legalese on paper in every company you conduct business with and in every website that you visit online, the higher levels of government are working to capture all of the information you are trying to protect without your consent, and even without your knowledge.

It’s known as Mass Surveillance, and refers to the act of keeping tabs on an entire group of people or an entire population at any given point in time.

The benefits of Computer Surveillance Software can monitor groups and populations for disease or epidemiology and protect the public from potential widespread public health concerns.

The disadvantages are a little too obvious. At least they are to the average American that may actually enjoy their right to privacy.

Secret police organizations and higher levels of government employ mass surveillance tactics and surveillance software to realize their own gains at the expense of a little issue known as public privacy and freedom.

The Big Brother State

The Digital Revolution – AKA Big Brother – Has Gone Too Far

The digital revolution has certainly made it easy for higher levels of government to capture whatever they want about whoever they want.

Computer surveillance software captures and stores information on anyone, anywhere, anytime.

You can’t go to the bank, go to the post office, or even walk down the streets without being watched… by someone.

And yet there are higher agencies working to protect those rights of privacy that are being infringed upon so casually.

Privacy International conducted a survey in 2007 over 47 countries across the globe to see what countries were not making necessary privacy safeguards for their own citizens.

Greece is doing very well. They were deemed to have the best safeguards against abuse of computer surveillance software towards their citizens.

The United States, not so well. We’re in last place. That’s right, last place. In a survey on 47 countries all over the world, the United States is said to be an “endemic surveillance society”.

Even Russia fared better than us. Everybody fared better than us. And this is only the beginning. It WILL get worse.

A Dark Future for America

“We are fast approaching a genuine surveillance society in the United States – a dark future where our every move, our every transaction, our every communication is recorded, compiled, and stored away, ready to be examined and used against us by the authorities whenever they want.”

-American Civil Liberties Union

During the Proceedings of the 2008 IEEE Conference on Advanced Video and Signal Based Surveillance, researcher James W. Davis proudly displayed his new means of computer surveillance software, a program he will be marketing to the higher levels of government no doubt.

This program will be looking for people on the streets that may be acting suspiciously, or will determine the difference between an individual acting suspiciously, or appearing to be lost.

So when this one gets put into use, the average American will not even be able to “appear lost” in their own country anymore for fear that they will be deemed to be displaying suspicious behaviour.

If it is possible that people actually can roll over in their graves, our forefathers must be very, very dizzy right now.
