big brother is not watching you

but it will, sooner or later.

allow me to explain. i've attended to a conference this morning about the new portuguese id card - the one who will gather loads of personal information about the citizens. that information, until now, was scattered through several cards: taxes, healthcare, and so on. okay, hacking databases was already possible. crossing information is also possible, and i'm not even going into social engineering. the new card will only make all this easier.

the thing is, this is just the beginning. they do it to simplify. they tell us what to eat for our health's sake. they keep track on our every move for the sake of security. soon they will control the way we fuck, and they'll come up with a reason for that. and one day we'll wake up and will have no freedom whatsoever. decades of literature and science fiction writing about the subject, and we have learned anything.
