Police State

Company to use Microsoft Kinect technology to recognize shoppers and target ads at them from grocery store shelves. This is creepy. You know NSA will amass all this data.

The DOJ claims people it prosecutes have no standing to see the phone records evidence used against them.

"The government’s response (PDF), filed on September 30th, is a heavily redacted opposition arguing that when law enforcement can monitor one person’s information without a warrant, it can monitor everyone’s information, “regardless of the collection’s expanse.” Notably, the government is also arguing that no one other than the company that provided the information—including the defendant in this case—has the right to challenge this disclosure in court."

That's a police state.

We must redesign the digital world for privacy.

NSA collects hundreds of millions of address books and contact lists including those of Americans.
