Irony: Surveillance Industry Objects to Spying Secrets & Mass Monitoring Leaks In the continued spotlight on mass surveillance, WikiLeaks Spy Files posted Gamma videos teaching intelligence agencies how to hack iTunes, Gmail and Skype. But Tatiana Lucas, one of the people behind profiting from the secret snoop ISS conferences, wants you to believe that exposing surveillance methods will cost U.S. jobs, make companies hesitant to support government surveillance, and maybe stop Congress from updating a lawful-interception law. Yet this company that profits on mass monitoring fails to mention privacy rights, civil liberties, or human rights. By Ms. Smith on Sun, 12/11/11 - 1:49pm.
A rant on the practices of these companies--but who can blame Ms. Smith
There are such things as human rights and civil liberties even if some in the lucrative business of virtual force to monitor all of us don't like all the press focusing on the government deploying Trojans for remote searches. One such unhappy person is behind the Intelligence Support Systems (ISS) secret snoop conference for stealthy government spying. After the Wall Street Journal published 'Document Trove Exposes Surveillance Methods', ISS World Program Director Tatiana Lucas complained to the Wall Street Journal, "We are concerned that the article and others like it contribute to an atmosphere where Congress isn't likely to pass an updated lawful-interception law. The law would require social-networking companies to deploy special features to support law enforcement. Without the update, the opportunity for U.S. companies to develop and launch intercept products domestically for eventual export will be greatly curtailed."
