Privacy is so…yesterday.

‘LOCAL councils are seizing data from residents’ mobile phones without warrants to chase unregistered pets, illegal rubbish dumping and unauthorised advertising.
Federal surveillance laws enable enforcement agencies — such as police, corruption watchdogs and the Australian Taxation Office — to seize telecommunications data to conduct criminal investigations, enforce fines or protect public revenue. But the laws are increasingly being used by other public bodies, such as local governments and Australia Post, which have collectively made more than 800 self-authorisations for personal data in the past three financial years.
…….Labor is supporting a controversial plan to force telcos to store telecommunications data for up to two years as a defence against organised crime and terrorism…’
Yeah, “organised crime and terrorism”. Sure. Unregistered pets (having to register them is an effing outrage in itself) illegal rubbish dumping and illegal advertising obviously fall into those categories…… and the bulk of the apathetic population continues to enable the slide into slavery, unaware or uncaring.
