@astrotwilight: If you have nothing to hide then why are you scared, are you a drug dealer?
Yes, absolutely. And a thief. And a homeless person. And a sex worker. And a graffit artist. And an undocumented person. And a person having sex. And a person carrying illegal medication. And, if I’m brave enough, maybe even someone who would break the law not just for my own needs but to change this rotten world where people suffer and starve and are imprisoned and enslaved and deported and murdered in the name of ‘the law’.
How does anyone look at the sentence “Are you sure we’re not watching you” and not feel immediately threatened by that, to the point of DEFENDING it
I feel like the people who don’t like this are not Americans. Americans gave had the government spying on them for years, so the fact that someone could actually be an undercover officer in real life, and watching us, doesn’t phase us. It’s a bit depressing, but that’s just kinda the reality of America. The government will spy on you, corporations will spy on you, police will spy on you, that banner is just openly telling you while in America it’s done in a more “covert” manner. Covert being, everyone knows about it, buy no one can do anything about it. PATRIOT ACT BABY YEAH!
Surveillance is pretty intense in Europe too, don’t underestimate that at all.
& like most undercover cops seem to exist to catch people on ‘victimless crimes’, like drug dealing and sex work and existing while homeless or undocumented. They’re ways to inncarcerate and controle marganilized communities.
Undercover cops out to catch revolutionaries or terrorists? I’d say they’re rare as fuck because of the amount of on the street hours it takes to catch someone plotting to blow something up. Aint nobody got the money for that.
If you are out to change the world, you’re way more likely to have your phone data analysed for social networks, data use patterns annd keywords etc. And most people – including the activists who think they’re streetwise because they turn off their phonne before a protest – are not nearly aware enough of how this really works.
