  • Recruiting New Spies via Internet

    It’s no secret that almost every state conducts intelligence both at home and abroad.

  • Insufficient Press Coverage of Big Data Surveillance

    As the second Trump administration is dispatching its minions to stalk US streets, smashing citizens’ First Amendment rights, in partnership with unregulated Big Tech, it also surveils online, helping itself to citizens’ personal identifiable information (PII).

  • Childish Fantasies: Age Verification for Social Media Down Under

    The Australian government has been in a banning mood of late.  In keeping with an old, puritanical tradition, the killjoys and wowsers have seized the reins of power and snorting a good deal while doing so.  In important matters such as anti-corruption and environmental protection, the government of Anthony Albanese is showing fewer teeth and […]

    Virtual Home Invasions: We’re Not Safe from Government Peeping Toms

    How delicious is political hypocrisy.  Abundant and rich, it manifests in the corridors of power with regularity.  Of late, there is much of it in the US Congress, evident over debates on whether the platform TikTok should be banned in the United States.  Much of this seems based on an assumption that foreign companies are […]

    The front-page headline of the December 11, 2023, Washington Post (WAPO) read, “China’s cyber army is invading critical U.S. services.” The sub-headline, “A utility in Hawaii, a West Coast port and a pipeline are among the victims in the past year, officials say,” impressed upon the reader that the Peoples Republic of China had wriggled […]
