The Information Commissioner ‘said he did not want to sound “paranoid” but pointed to General Franco’s Spain and Communist Eastern Europe as examples of what can happen when a government gets too powerful and has too much information on its citizens.’
Apparently “a Downing St spokesman” says there would be guarantees to prevent “function creep” so information was not handed around government in an uncontrolled way.
So which way do want them to hand around your information – controlled or uncontrolled?

One response to “Just because you are paranoid, it doesn't mean they aren't out to get you.”
I try not to think about these things too much, cos it does my head in. Are we all pawns in someone elses game. Is our destiny being directed by superpowers unbeknown to us. Scary.
I do wonder what unofficial info is kept and that concerns me. I’d admit to rather having controlled info that I know about than what I don’t know, but then what you don’t know can’t harm you, can it?
