In a scary Orwellian unison, the Australian government, the British government and a bunch of researchers have found new ways to remove some of your basic freedoms:
- South Australia Outlaws Anonymous Political Speech
- "No Scan, No Fly" At Heathrow and Manchester
- De-Anonymizing Social Network Users
While the third story is only scary because of how people could use the technology, the first one is a nice step towards fascism (Would you always express your discontent if everyone knew who you were? Isn't that why voting is anonymous?) and I cannot wait until the second one yields a ridiculous amount of pedopornography claims. I'm also far from convinced that regularly passing through x-rays is totally safe...
