Re: That would not have gone over well
I was surprised to hear on BBC Radio 4 this morning a short interview with Yuval Noah Harari
(never previously heard of him) (home page https://www.ynharari.com/) (I think he's in Davos today)
His opinion seemed to be that we could potentially see a totalitarian data-driven hegemony, based upon a state (or two) knowing everything about everyone, and possibly knowing us more than we know ourselves. He didn't name names or States, other than China, but he implied there was of course at least one other unitedly serious place where bad things could grow.....
As I have been tangentially involved in data-retention, ILETS, and Lawful Interception, and know their names, nice chaps on the whole. Yes Yuval, that gloomy-doomy scenario came to me too.
