‘GCSB ‘Cortex’ system aimed at ISPs
The “Cortex” system Prime Minister John Key made public to counter claims of mass surveillance of New Zealanders is now being aimed at the internet service providers handling the emails and online data of everyday Kiwis.
…However, it also conceded that a rare set of circumstances could lead to GCSB staff reading people’s emails. In those cases, “all a GCSB analyst would be looking for in an email is evidence of malicious cyber activity”.
It says Cortex protection is important in dealing with intellectual property theft and data theft – including credit cards, destruction or hacking of private communications, holding data for ransom or attacking IT services.’
(bold mine)
This surveillance has fuck-all to do with keeping citizens safe – current events have demonstrated the uselessness of it – claims of terrorist attacks thwarted notwithstanding.
The driver behind this kind of surveillance and control is the interests of those who fund the political class. All else is bullshit.
Leftists/”progressives”/socialists are not welcome here. Pay for your own soapbox.

I’ll send you a file in a cake when they arrest you, KG.
A couple of ounces of C4 might be better, Ronbo.
Obama’s mates looking after each other – Key, Hollywood, Music Industry, and Big Pharma. Don’t forget the rest of Obama’s mates – the Muslim world, who have bought and paid for all the main political players, and must not be libeled, and then there’s the Frankfurt School’s little drones’ need to ensure that we are all PC. Phew! Thank goodness we have the GCSB.
Heh? That one went into the spam bin.
The post?
Yes.
Restored. My apologies, Mawm. I have no idea why that happened.
“Security Theater” – looky-looky, make believe “to protect the community”.
The real agenda is Control.
