Re: The Government can Hack you.

Hi Gibbs I don't mind sacrificing my privacy 'for the greater good'.

I realise doing so could have negative implications if we had a dictatorship in this country, but at this time that is something I am prepared to accept.

Probably put in place because of the current threat of muslim terrorists. Personally, I think it's a good thing and a necessary thing.

I can't say it worries me if GCHQ should spy on what I do or say. Nothing to hide: nothing to fear!

Re: The Government can Hack you.

Hackers can remotely activate cameras and microphones on devices, without the owner's knowledge, log keystrokes, install malware, copy documents and track locations among other things, the Investigatory Powers Tribunal (IPT) was told.

Re: The Government can Hack you.

I doubt they would find much to interest them in my computers and if it means they can find would be terrorists then I am all for it. Anything that helps route out those who want to kill or abuse is fine by me.

I still remember those marvelling, "The internet is free! You can register your name free of charge! It's a gift!" I also remember my reply, "No, it's not." I didn't know what was in store ..... BUT I knew it wasn't going to be "free", I knew it wasn't a "gift".
