“From the age of uniformity, from the age of solitude, from the age of Big Brother, from the age of doublethink – greetings!â€
– George Orwell, 1984
We are about to enter into a state where every digital step you take is recorded. At the end of March, the Government will introduce the most draconian law in the history of personal privacy in Ireland: 24-hour internet monitoring. A log will be made of everyone’s internet activity and every email sent and received.
Greetings from the State of Surveillance.
