'Law-abiding citizens' have nothing to fear from UK intelligence gathering, Foreign Sec William Hague tells BBC's Marr Show

By letting them allow that. You make them allow the next shitty thing they want to do.

They do it step by step. So people don't really know what they are dealing with.

I love the New-age-slavery getting even worse ^^

you cant do anything to stop it, so why bother protesting?

Nick Pickles, director of privacy and civil liberties campaign group Big Brother Watch, said: “There are legal processes to request information about British citizens using American services and if they are being circumvented by using these NSA spying arrangements then that would be a very serious issue.

“The wider legal authority of the surveillance that the US Government has been undertaking is being disputed by very senior figures and it is essential that questions are asked at the highest levels to ensure British citizens have seen their privacy intruded upon without adherence to the proper legal process or any suspicion of wrongdoing.”
“If British citizens have had their emails and social media messages seized by the US Government without any justification or legal authority, serious questions must be asked at the highest levels.

“The revelations call into question the integrity of cloud services that are used by millions of non-US citizens every day, while setting a dangerous precedent that less-democratic regimes around the world may rush to copy. How many Members of Parliament, business leaders and key security figures use US-based services that may have been compromised?

“Surveillance without suspicion is an affront to a free society and it is essential that we get to the bottom of the NSA and US Government has being doing and how British citizens may have seen their privacy compromised on a vast scale.”

That is the worst possible attitude you could have to something like this. Sure yeah, don't give a fuck, but as Satan said, what's next? It'll be something even more invasive but people will just begin to think it's normal and that it's the future why should I care until you get so far down the line that you have cameras analysing the perspiration level of you skin and the dilation of your eyes to determine whether or not you're likely to cause a problem at a place.

I'm genuinely worried because really what is next. Just look at the Xboxbone as an example of where people want to take things. They want you to think it's normal to have always online and a camera and microphone always listening and watching you. I don't want to have to resort to posting images of Mitt Romney saying it's happening, you could have stopped this but I feel I might have to, because I still want my freedom and privacy and at the end of the day, if I don't get it then I'll move to anther country.

Wouldn't that be a good thing?

No, it wouldn't. Before you know it people will just be arrested for thought crimes

Simple answer: don't buy it... your agreeing to their terms to view/monitor you when you buy the stupid thing
