As the title says I live in a surveillance state where among other things the government uses paid snitches, listening devices in your home, installs Trojans/malware in your phone and computer, even outside agents can stalk and observe you 7/24.
I may not be a target of any of this as I am didn’t commit any of the crimes required to do these (for example being involved with cannabis, or helping illegal aliens or some crimes that actually warrant this like organized crime and so forth)
However with the snitch system were convicted criminals are incentivized to incriminate others to save their own skin I am not put at ease with assurances that if you have nothing to hide that you would have nothing to fear.
I do not believe however that the surveillance state is intended to prevent terrorism or organized crime. I believe the true intention of the surveillance state is to consolidate power and nip any sort of true dissent in the bud.
So in imho if you were to call out the government on their bullshit you would stand to be victimized. Even if you are well within your rights with regards to freedom of speech/thought/assembly.
So if everything on your computer may be subject to government’s prying eyes, you’d need your own language and alphabet/writing system to at least retain the ability to keep notes and write a diary.
I would like to be able to note down my thoughts without having to fear the government can read it.
I was thinking of something like Tolkiens Elven tongue/language. I know it is a lot of work especially since it is only for internal use.
What’s your opinion on this?
realtime encryption systems are what you’re looking for - but in the grand scheme of things, the only privacy that exists is between your ears.
And even that might alreay have changed (if you know somebody’s seach history for example and their meta data) you might even infer some of what they are thinking. Let alone any progress in understanding of the brain and being able to read out thoughts from brainwaves through some future breakthrough… or even just using live-mri scan
however thanks for the realtime encryption systems that is very intersting!
