Samara you are correct, (and mistaken) Privacy IS disapearing, america is descending into barbarism.
Here are my thoughts. It's near impossible to go totally "off grid". So Do the next best thing.. BECOME IRRELEVANT. People who are concerned about being spied on by the government assume, that the government employs competence. It doesn't. Where the government finds competence, competence will be punished.
Same is true to a lesser degree in Corporate culture.
Yes, the 'walls have ears' and 'the sky has eyes'... However, it's expensive to listen to all the crap, evaluate it, type it up etc. Get my point?
Long time gone I was actually monitored. ( criminal case, i was only peripherally involved in, it was a big deal, came to nothin') So, knowing that, I began every phone call or e-mail with key word or phrase that would trigger the monitors. Let em type up every call, every contact, go investigate every one of my legally dull friends and associates, see how much paper that generates. Reams and Reams of paper. generate false you's If you knew me, you's be amazed at how many of the electronic and paper me's are just echo. and it costs a fortune to separate echo from sound.
you are mistaken in the belief that there is a constitutional 'right to privacy' That whole thing is simply judicial fiat.see Roe v. Wade. ::unhappy:: ::unhappy:: Privacy is a human need however, just not one within governmental purvue. Once you're irrelevant, form community, through the local markets,through church, Horse track, any damned thing. ( a lot of people pray at Horse tracks )
Hope this helps. J.O.M. ::unhappy:: Aww, now.
