Police State

Ford introduces fleet monitoring system for police which will monitor details about their driving in real time. This won't go over well. I love it.

New chief of Britain's NSA, GCHQ, orders internet companies to facilitate spying.

"The new head of Britian’s GCHQ intelligence agency has demanded that internet firms open themselves up to intelligence services, and has claimed that privacy is not an absolute right.

Accusing internet companies of being “in denial” of the role they play in terrorism, Robert Hannigan said they had become the “command-and-control networks of choice” for a new generation of criminals and extremists, such as the militant group Isis which has swept across Iraq and Syria and is well known for its use of online propaganda."

This is a red herring. Internet companies would happily help spy on ISIS and other terrorists, I'm sure they are helping spy on real bad guys, but that isn't what government wants. Government wants to spy on everybody.
