Move Over Big Information – Boundless Information Has Arrived
If a musquito lands on someone’s caput too y'all striking the musquito with a shovel, is the decease of the guy nether the musquito considered an unintended consequence?
So similar a shot nosotros know that the regime of the the U.S. of America is spying on its ain citizens, non specifically on whatever ane inwards particular, but massively too indiscriminately collecting troves of information on all American people. All perfectly legal, consummate with cloak-and-dagger courts that must approve each wholesale transaction with regime information providers, which they do four times every 24-hour interval too twice on Dominicus (or something similar that). It’s non clear if the regime pays for volume or value, or if the information providers are exactly donating this electronic bounty to the regime every bit an human face of their patriotic duty, too mayhap inwards lieu of taxes which around of these technology scientific discipline giants (e.g. Microsoft, Apple, Google, Yahoo, Verizon, etc.) are successfully, too also legally, evading.
So those who are beingness spied upon are genuinely paying the bills for all spying activities, including fees for services to information providers too taxes to back upward regime processing of such unprecedented amounts of data, but inwards all fairness nosotros must notation that our progressive too opened upward regime is trying to relieve us about coin yesteryear utilizing the latest open-source technologies for its cutting border Boundless Informant software (yep, it's inwards Wikipedia already). The means engaged inwards the electronic surveillance of your Facebook likes too dislikes, the National Security Agency (NSA), is a armed forces means headed yesteryear a uniformed soldier, too its labor alongside other things is to render information to “war planners too country of war fighters”. The country of war beingness planned too fought hither is presumably the never ending country of war on terror (with zombies exactly around the corner), too it seems that the preferred strategy is to supplant the possibility of terrorist (or zombie) induced terror, with the benevolent terror of beingness watched too tracked yesteryear your friendly military, for your ain proficient too the proficient of the Nation.
Another branch of our slap-up regime is also really much concerned with our wellbeing too is also waging all sorts of petty wars to protect us from the terrors of unhealthy lifestyles, such every bit beingness sick or preferring to hold out left alone, too every bit is the instance with the country of war on terror, the wars on lifestyles require lots of electronic information. Sadly, the information needed yesteryear the Department of Health too Human Services (HHS) to successfully prosecute its wars, too proceed us safe, is non readily available inwards electronic format, too although the electrical current NSA information providers did essay to collect wellness information inwards the past, too about are yet trying today, around medical information is either on newspaper or scattered all over the house inwards electronic formats unsuitable for processing inwards the 51 pct confidence inwards a target’s “foreignness”” that could hold out achieved yesteryear only knowing what targets eat every day. Oh, too let’s non forget that Section 215 of the Patriot Act authorizes the collection of medical records alongside other things.
The 3rd laid of problems facing the country of war on non beingness safe, are that potential wellness information providers are accustomed to antiquated oaths too legislation concepts that supposedly prohibit them from becoming regime information suppliers, too consumers who convey no work with other electronic information collection, seem a chip skittish when it comes to their medical information. So the regime is mounting an all-out endeavour to loose medical information from the privacy ball-and-chains imposed yesteryear Hippocratic oaths too HIPAA laws. Every regime approved medical information collection software James Clapper, whose “too cute yesteryear half” responses to Congress are “the around truthful, or to the lowest degree untruthful”, yesteryear his ain admission. There for sure is no other regime inwards this whole broad globe with spy managers therefore chummy, candid too forthcoming. Like a breath of fresh air….
So when the regime tells us that nosotros tin move opt-in or opt-out or opt halfway inwards too halfway out of “trusted exchange” of our medical records, nosotros should trust that it is indeed so. Vaguely beingness aware that information stored inwards a estimator database, connected to the Internet, tin move hold out copied, “backed up” or extracted inwards many ways, regardless of frontend opting preferences, should non inwards whatever way compass y'all suspension or elicit suspicions that your information may hold out shipped over to the regime zettabyte collection. Besides, every bit Mr. Clapper eloquently stated, this is genuinely a trifle affair of semantics: “when someone says ‘collection’ to me, that has a specific meaning, which may convey a unlike important to him”. The soldier inwards accuse of the NSA, General Keith Alexander, tried to clarify inwards a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing on Wednesday, that at that spot is a subtle departure betwixt amassing information too genuinely looking at it. President Clinton, for example, had similar nuanced definitions for smoking pot too having ‘sex’.
Speaking of the wisdom of slap-up American leaders, President Obama is reminding us that "We're going to convey to brand about choices every bit a society" because "You can’t convey 100 pct safety too also too therefore convey 100 pct privacy too naught inconvenience", too y'all definitely can’t convey 100 pct wellness without making about difficult choices. One cannot fault our President for forgetting, seeing how busy he is running our Nation, but nosotros made our choices inwards 2008 too ane time again inwards 2012, when nosotros chose a President who said that the previous direction "puts frontward a faux selection betwixt the liberties nosotros cherish too the safety nosotros provide".
As a society, nosotros don’t desire to communicate yesteryear ravens instead of electronic mail too jail cellular telephone phones, nosotros don’t desire to throw our Birkenstocks at estimator screens, nosotros don’t desire a dark marketplace for doctors who are non on the grid, too nosotros are rather tired of having to brand “false choice” afterwards “false choice”. Perhaps it’s fourth dimension for our President to brand about personal choices every bit well.
