Chaos Communication Congress

This is NOT a proposal about mass surveillance! (34x139)

Data di messa in onda: Dic 29, 2017

Speaker: Lisa Analysing the terminology of the UK’s Snooper’s Charter. In November 2016 the UK has passed the Investigatory Powers Act (aka Snooper’s Charter). This act unprecedentedly extends surveillance powers of the state – p.e. legalising the hacking of devices or forcing Internet Service Providers to collect web browsing histories – one does not even need to be suspected of a crime. This talk investigates the choice of words of the parliamentary debates and reveals how euphemistic and understating terminology discloses the extent of surveillance and justifies the causeless intrusion into everyone’s privacy.
