Our governments apparently get a mirror image of internet traffic and say they need the information for all kinds of righteous reasons. Despite all the trawling and software analysis they seem to miss terrorists with hideous websites and prosecute harmless individuals twittering they will burn down Robin Hood Airport (meant as an expression of young love in times of the wrong snow).
In the Robin Hood Airport case, the young man was arrested at work, found guilty in two courts and only reprieved on appeal. He was completely innocent and only idiots would think he had any intention to burn the airport or even cause offence. So there must be many idiots in our official systems. These systems clearly prefer to prosecute a young man over a harmless joke than deal with perverts exploiting young kids. What do we think the issues are on Big Brother surveillance? I'd be a lot less concerned if we lived in a world of reasonable, tolerant people, politicians, cops, social workers, judges and so on we could trust. Google and the rest are also intruding into our lives. -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups ""Minds Eye"" group.
