"If you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear"...

In 16th-century England, monks and nuns believed they have nothing to fear: they were devout Catholics after all with nothing to hide... but then things changed and being found to be Catholic would shorten your stature by one head. Some then became Protestant, believing they have nothing to fear, but as the Queen happened to change, they were wrong too and so it went back-and-forth a few times, thus we all have reason to fear!

All Australians should rejoice in having someone watch over them.

A little surveillance in your life means that someone cares.

Is your iPhone bugging you?

Well said Yuyustu.

It is a dilemma.

Maybe it should be tolerated while we are in a war situation
With Islamic state for a few years, wth extremelly harsh penalties
for those who leak non related sexual or personal information
about innocent citizens even to their mates.

So come on governments let's see those laws now.

And in times of non war issues, info should only be able to be accessed
In the case of specific murders or serious crimes, at which time
A warrant should have to be obtained from a judge.
