The Internet is a surveillance state


By Bruce Schneier, Special to CNN

updated 11:39 AM EDT, Sat March 16, 2013


(CNN) -- I'm going to start with three data points.

One: Some of the Chinese military hackers who were implicated in a broad set of attacks against the U.S. government and corporations were identified because they accessed Facebook from the same network infrastructure they used to carry out their attacks.

Two: Hector Monsegur, one of the leaders of the LulzSac hacker movement, was identified and arrested last year by the FBI. Although he practiced good computer security and used an anonymous relay service to protect his identity, he slipped up.

And three: Paula Broadwell,who had an affair with CIA director David Petraeus, similarly took extensive precautions to hide her identity. She never logged in to her anonymous e-mail service from her home network. Instead, she used hotel and other public networks when she e-mailed him. The FBI correlated hotel registration data from several different hotels -- and hers was the common name.

The Internet is a surveillance state. Whether we admit it to ourselves or not, and whether we like it or not, we're being tracked all the time.
Google tracks us, both on its pages and on other pages it has access to. Facebook does the same; it even tracks non-Facebook users. Apple tracks us on our iPhones and iPads. One reporter used a tool called Collusion to track who was tracking him; 105 companies tracked his Internet use during one 36-hour period.

Increasingly, what we do on the Internet is being combined with other data about us. Unmasking Broadwell's identity involved correlating her Internet activity with her hotel stays. Everything we do now involves computers, and computers produce data as a natural by-product. Everything is now being saved and correlated, and many big-data companies make money by building up intimate profiles of our lives from a variety of sources.

Facebook, for example, correlates your online behavior with your purchasing habits offline. And there's more. There's location data from your cell phone, there's a record of your movements from closed-circuit TVs.

This is ubiquitous surveillance: All of us being watched, all the time, and that data being stored forever. This is what a surveillance state looks like, and it's efficient beyond the wildest dreams of George Orwell.

Sure, we can take measures to prevent this. We can limit what we search on Google from our iPhones, and instead use computer web browsers that allow us to delete cookies. We can use an alias on Facebook. We can turn our cell phones off and spend cash. But increasingly, none of it matters.

There are simply too many ways to be tracked. The Internet, e-mail, cell phones, web browsers, social networking sites, search engines: these have become necessities, and it's fanciful to expect people to simply refuse to use them just because they don't like the spying, especially since the full extent of such spying is deliberately hidden from us and there are few alternatives being marketed by companies that don't spy.

Someone mentioned cookies the other day... This goes a little beyond just cookies.....I wonder what files exist on our KKK Grand Poohbah-- or Jigs after his comments were thought to be threatening to the President of the US... Or some of the other racists and anarchists that haunt this site...
For all you rightwingernut conspiracists- this should be good for a couple of cases of Depends....

ORWELL'S 1984 IS HAPPENING

We are one crisis away from a police state. All the powers are in place. Someone will flip the switch. Whether a Cyber Attack, escalating Currency War tensions or a 'terrorist' attack by indebted college youth, it is only a matter of time and circumstance.

You seem to like this!

Someone or some agency tracking the people of your own country and other countries.

All at the approval of Hussein.

Give you shivers of excitement?

There mght be a few of your holy constitution thingies being violated here.

I wonder why you are not a bit more concerned rather than gloating about it - remember - you are not so innocent yourself.

Remember that Hussein may be coming to get you as well - all that data can be twisted to make Mother Teresa look like Kola - and Kola look like .....

Well, I will not go there.

Figures and data lie, liars figure using data.

You're getting old OT - you likely have less than 10 years - you might make 15 more - if you do not have health problems - and that means you will not see the downfall of many things in your country - and I predict one of them to be the dissolution of many items in your constitution as either too "old fashioned", "out of date with the times" or simply "they did not mean this".

I believe it to be coming, and very soon if Hussein gets his way.

The supreme court will start it - and do not think they cannot or will not - they will and the government will fall into line.

It will all happen - you will not be here but you will have helped to author it.

Laugh and deny, or rebut with name calling and derision if you want - but your way of life is already gone - you are simply too blind to see it.

And you helped get it to where it is today my good friend. You and millions of others who believe in the Hussein hustle.

Best to all

Some how you seem to forget that true conservatives didn't like Bush. The only thing is they liked him better than the leftwingernut teagee regime candidates that the dem party threw out there.

So kola you didn't like Bushs tracking, now if you are not a hypocrite from the leftwingernut regime you will be shouting from the tallest mountain in Georgia condemning the obama regimes tracking.

Are you a hypocrite?

Yes isn't it, to use Oldtimer's favorite word, "comical" how the left b*tched about anything and everything Bush and the Republicans did but now that it is their "Change you can believe in Hero" Obama an the Dems that are doing the EXACT SAME THINGS AND IN SOME CASES DOUBLING DOWN ON THEM, they are silent about anything and everything. Seems the only change you can truly believe in with the Obama regime is in the minds of the leftwingnuts. :wink:
