[NetBehaviour] How Much Surveillance Can Democracy Withstand?

[Eduardo Valle]

Software it is just one part of the electronic surveillance that is just part of the tech developments.

The world is going on the Second World CyberWar and the victims are Manning, Assange and Snowden. 

And off course  ,UK parliament, David Cameron, Obama and all the "world" leaders in SILENCE !

Wikileaks x Governments + Enterprises + FINAZISM

And it is not a "free" software that will solve the problem.

We are under the Netopticon  and surveillance are much more bigger than that, he as an American knows how many Militar Bases and agents are from USA all over the world.

He as an american knows about war, tech developments, patents and control.

How many security itens has an American Passport ?

Incredible not a single word about Moore Laws and the need to keep Pace with the latest technology ? And in that sense software is just a follower ...

"To make journalism and democracy safe, we must limit the accumulation of data that is easily accessible to the state"

Not a single word about Amazon Monopoly  ? Or do you think that they are not sharing data with NSA ? 

When Wikileaks were under attack, all those monopolies like credit cards and others acted together with USA goverment ...

Does the British from this list use Iris recognition on the airport ? And that is happenning only in London airport ?

Surveillance = Dominance = Surveillance = Dominance   USA NATO war machine does not stop ...
