Privacy vs Paranoia

[cailin maith]

like we are going to listen to someone on the Blonde pile ? :


Seriously after you have dealt with a few of our nations 'finest' you realise you wouldn't want most of them anywhere near your personal data.
The prosecutions for illegal access to Tax records are laughably low.
Police have been known to run vendetta's against individuals.
Councils and political figures use statistical data (both public and I imagine private) for political ends daily.
They can't even manage NI numbers properly.

Like the lass on her knees at the festival, once its out (or in) on camera you can't take it back.

I want the people monitoring communications and using the information watched like a hawk at all times and laws surrounding it to be rigid and fair so that politicians can't change them at will. That is the price of my data.

You are probably right I guess I just think there is tulipty stuff that needs doing that involves an invasion of privacy but if it keeps me safe and my son safe from some nutter terrorist then so be it.

We have to be able to trust those entrusted with look at and keeping hold of that stuff and I acknowledge it's next to impossible to do that but what is the alternative?

That dopey bint at Slane (that stinking cess pool of teenage over excitment) will never live this down. Which is why we need to be sure our kids aren't stupid enough to do daft things like that. We need to educate them to have respect for themselves. I bet she and her family are thoroughly mortified.

OTOH, she might have started a fashion.

yes sorry probably a bad example, but the message I was hoping to convey is the expectation of privacy is gone and people you don't sanction will use your data as they see fit.

agree we need to teach our kids to respect their disclosures. That doesn't mean they can't do naughty things, just make sure they don't let someone record it.

That doesn't mean they can't do naughty things, just make sure they get paid a tulipload of money if someone records it.

Are you sure you're cut out to be a contractor?

good point, luckily I have never had to sell my body (well nobody would pay for it anyway) so I didn't consider that.

There is no room for them to make mistakes any more. That's very sad.

It upsets me that we've allowed childhood from this point on to be irrecoverably corrupted so that someone can get rich from trying to sell us tulip we don't need. That's as bad as any environmental or financial catastrophe we might inflict upon future generations, and the fact is we're all complicit in it because we did nothing to stop it.
