is big brother snooping on you ??

[oldpink]

Mass snooping fake mobile towers 'uncovered in UK'

similar towers have been widely reported in the USA over the past few years
and the reports are increasing

[CaNsA]

Fake cell towers....
One was illegally bought and used to takedown Kevin Mitnick back in the 90s iirc

[Ste]

Low hanging fruit etc etc etc.

If the security services want to track someone via their mobile, surely the can already do this without these magic boxes?
If anyone goes missing, they get the location data from the service providers.

If you're that worried and an Iphone user, you'd better make sure "find my iphone" isn't enabled.

The more I read about the mass surveillance, the more I want to stop using a mobile phone.

[oldpink]

I have a couple of PAYG unregistered cheapo basic mobiles
when I run out of credit I switch to another and bin them
after removing and shredding the sim
and I also have a dutch based mobile

my main mobile is a company contract samsung
but when I am in certain situations its off or left at home turned on and logged on

If someone wants to spend £1000, or any money actually, to track my whereabouts they could at least give me the money and they could follow me in person if they liked. a win win situation.
Plus they would soon get bored of my mundane life anyway.

If I was a crim, i'd just turn my phone off and tell everyone a specific two hour slot per day when i'd have it on.

It's worse in China.

I joined the Baidu forums to have a go at using Chinese to talk with people.

Made a thread with a few pictures introducing North Yorkshire and stuff. Got a load of replies saying it looked nice etc. Thread was pretty active for a good week or so.

Then someone wrote a comment asking about my political views back home.

Thread deleted immediately!!!

The worrying thing there is that the Baidu forums have a ranking system where you simply need to get active enough and toe the line for long enough, until you can then just apply, online, to be one of their moderators, and then you're part of the moderating elite. Anyone can do it, in theory, as long as they play by the (glorified) rules.

So the Chinese people are watching each other, out of choice!

The only thing I'm surprised at is, that people are surprised that the security services are spying on us.

How did Sky identify these boxes?

[BigShow]

I pity the fool that has to review the data they collect.

They can spy on me, fuck it, enjoy wading through endless texts from the Wife asking me to pick up broccoli and other tedious consumables on the way home from work.

I have a German boss and he is paranoid about security and he won't use Whatsapp or even let his daughter use it.

Myself on the other hand could not careless.

I don't really care if someone wants to hack my account and see pictures of my dog retrieving a fish from the canal or some pictures of my Z750 by the Kilder dam, then that's fine with me.

Its all very well people saying they don't mind because all the data they have is essentially dull domestic stuff but what about the dat when you may wish to take part in some sort of anti-establishment political activity?
