| 1351063 | 2013-08-13 00:27:00 | Time to get out the tin foil hats again I see. Never mind Mighty River Power I reckon I would make a lot more money in tin foil shares. | CliveM (6007) | ||
| 1351064 | 2013-08-13 01:05:00 | Any rights & privacy we loose now, we will never get back . Its not just privacy on the internet, also your phone calls, your bank records & spending habits . Where youve been & what youve been doing . Dont care about privacy, what if some listening devices were put into your house & car . Care about that ?? Do you cars if you kids & spouse & also spied on What when neighbors, relatives & friends are encouraged to spy on each other (ie East Germany) What when all this info in govt hands gets mis-used, illegally sold (yes its happened) , or used get 'get at' someone by a govt employee with a vendetta . This has all happened in govt depts in NZ All good points, 1101 . fred_fish, I had to laugh at your comment "after all John's a nice smiley guy" Some would call that " faking sincerity" . As for "the current government is mostly benevolent . " ROFL would be the appropriate response to that one . |

| 1351068 | 2013-08-14 00:18:00 | He does have a point. I like my privacy. Sure there's only so much you can have when you're on facebook or browsing sites with bots and tracking cookies, but still. What little we have left certainly shouldn't be undermined by people out to do us harm. | 8ftmetalhaed (14526) | ||
| 1351069 | 2013-08-14 04:12:00 | Well, that depends how you use it ;) The associated TICS bill requires a provider of any "telecommunications service" to provide the GCSB & SIS with "full interception capability". No, it doesn't depend how you use it...... As for telecommunications....you think that was ever private? I can tell you , that although no-one usually bothered much, even less of them cared, there were people listening to you 30 years ago too. |

| 1351070 | 2013-08-14 07:53:00 | No, it doesn't depend how you use it...... How do you figure that? There are certainly many things you can do to reduce your data footprint and decent encryption is effectively uncrackable. As for telecommunications....you think that was ever private? I can tell you , that although no-one usually bothered much, even less of them cared, there were people listening to you 30 years ago too. Indeed, and as per Dave's reference people were concerned about it then too. Back then "telecommunications" was limited to phone calls. The exponential increase in the scope of your personal information now travelling via telecommunications networks means we should be very carefully re-examining the powers and oversight of those who can tap it, NOT rushing through expanded powers under urgency ... because there might be "terrrrists". |

| 1351071 | 2013-08-14 08:31:00 | Wow. John says the GCSB is just like Norton Antivirus! How safe do you feel now? :lol: |
fred_fish (15241) | ||
| 1351072 | 2013-08-14 08:32:00 | Much safer actually, since Norton doesn't detect anything.... | Agent_24 (57) | ||
