    Edward Snowden Retweeted Privacy International

    The UK just admitted the global mass surveillance system was used against civil society—people like you. These programs were never about crime or terrorism, they're about power. It's about control.https://twitter.com/privacyint/status/1044547574546538496 …

        People are like, "what kind of power?" The power to always know everything about anyone, so that you can control the outcome of anything they try to do. Sound abstract? It's your stalker ex, but with a military.

        The UK already has systems in place that track all dissidents at any given time. Drive the scenic route? Plate recognition software on road cameras track your position. Walk anywhere in any city? Face recognition can track your position. At least China gives you a score.

        And then when someone gets shot by the police in an underground station, all of a sudden the tapes vanish. Just one reason I don't live in the UK anymore

        What is more frightening than them doing this is the public's lack of outrage at it happening. People have already been conditioned to accept spying and a total and complete lack of privacy. They simply don't object to it. We have sold our children out by not fighting back.

        They have done it with wireless devices. People don't even look up. Nearly everyone is addicted to their portable wireless microwave spewing device. Control of the mind and ultimately population control too. And people not only do it voluntarily--they PAY FOR IT! Duped!

        The moment you started to talk about microwaves and population control, you lost all credibility. Shame, you made a good point up to that.

        Read the research. There is tons of it available. Peer-reviewed studies showing many health issues from cancer to infertility. Take a minute and research before you dismiss. If you want some links, I'd be happy to provide them.

        Every time there is a terror attack they say they had them under surveillance but did nothing to stop the terror, of course the reason they let it happen is to have the excuse to tighten up the noose around our necks. #CivilSocietyUnderMagnifyingGlass 🧐

        "I've got nothing to hide, so I don't care" Does this small minded quote ring a bell? That's literally the majoritys opinion on things like this when they've got time to even take an interest in it.

        It's a paradox isn't it. I wonder if they'd just let strangers walk into their house with access to their house keys to come and go as they please, to simply check around the house etc. Because you just wouldn't allow that, it has nothing to do with hiding or not hiding anything.
