Government agencies and private companies are increasingly violating the privacy of people everywhere. Enormous amounts of personal data are being collected, stored and processed - often illegally - in the pursuit of more efficient marketing, greater social control, and more powerful mechanisms for monitoring of the citizen. Fighting crime by committing one appears to be the future solution for law enforcement agencies in the information society of the 21st century. But - who watches the watchmen?


Either you renounce everything that violates your privacy or you are ignorant that government agencies and private corporations profits from your privacy.

It was only possible for one or several individuals to build a successful software because of the existence of Open Source Software Foundation

Lobbyists and profiteers influence legislation and politics more and more in their sense, so that their highly selfish interests can be enforced to soften the consumer protection, to puncture the data protection.

If they know what you did yesterday and yesterday, they soon know what you are likely to do tomorrow.

Big Brother is not just surveillance. Big Brother is paternalism. For example, by people from politics and industry who want to tell journalists, for example, what to bring, or what to find and what is not.

In the year 2013, Mark Shuttleworth and Ubuntu were awarded the anti-privacy Big Brother Award for sending local Ubuntu Unity Dash searches to Ubuntu Canonical servers by default.

Due to increasing awareness of privacy and the confidentiality of their own data, more and more users are starting to withdraw from the cloud offerings and save them locally again.

The Big Brother Awards (BBAs) recognize "the government and private sector organizations ... which have done the most to threaten personal privacy". They are named after the George Orwell character Big Brother from the novel 1984 Nineteen Eighty-Four.

Privacy is the foundation of all other human rights.

Don't let people, corporation or government rape your personal data in the name of your personal security.

Argument of which, you don't care about privacy because you have nothing to hide, is no difference from saying that you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say.
