"Ronsterm can't help but highlight your blatant hyprocracy!
The basis of your argument is preservation of civil liberties etc. Well part of being free is being free to express your own view. Jessie is making constructive and relevant statements and your accusing him/ her of trolling?? In what universe is that trolling? I think people whom understood the word would agree that word would be more suited to your posts." ............................ The observation was about defending of a surveillance aka Big Brother society. I would also consider anyone calling for the compulsory chipping of people(one step away from our current level of surveillance) to be trolling ie. looking for an emotional response, a wind up, whatever. Trolling is hardly an outrageous accusation, we would be unlikely to have interesting discussions here without a bit of it around(though not too much).

"Video surveillance is one thing, but cross transfer of personal data/ details and access to it for the government is totally unacceptable. If governments suspect you of criminal activity then the same process(IMO a much tougher process) of getting a search warrant to search your home should be applied. " .................... Totally agree there. What worries me is that safeguards can be worn down over time then completely disregarded.What also worries me is the level of complacency surrounding these changes. If we do not defend our liberties we will surely lose them. ............................... "I think the biggest hurdle at this stage is transparency of what exactly is getting used to keep tabs on you." ..............................
As governments worldwide seem to be getting more remote from the governed there is even less need on their part to provide any transparency.
