Posted by Ronaldo Burgundiaz on 3/29/20 at 6:48 pm216
You baws ready? Everything is happening exactly as I have foreseen regarding this.
I'm sure a lot of you baws are ready. A lot of you have been clamoring for this.

Edward Snowden says COVID-19 could give governments invasive new data-collection powers that could last long after the pandemic ends.
Edward Snowden said in an interview on Monday that increased surveillance amid the coronavirus outbreak could lead to long-lasting erosion of civil liberties.
Specifically, he theorized that states might demand access to people's health data — such as their heart rate — from wearables.
Countries have been rapidly ramping up their surveillance of citizens to study and curb the spread of the virus, ranging from mapping anonymized phone location data to highly invasive powers, like allowing the security services to track people's phones without a warrant.
Edward Snowden, the man who exposed the breadth of spying at the US's National Security Agency, has warned that an uptick in surveillance amid the coronavirus crisis could lead to long-lasting effects on civil liberties.
During a video-conference interview for the Copenhagen Documentary Film Festival, Snowden said that, theoretically, new powers introduced by states to combat the coronavirus outbreak could remain in place after the crisis has subsided.
Fear of the virus and its spread could mean governments "send an order to every fitness tracker that can get something like pulse or heart rate" and demand access to that data, Snowden said.
"Five years later the coronavirus is gone, this data's still available to them — they start looking for new things," Snowden said. "They already know what you're looking at on the internet, they already know where your phone is moving, now they know what your heart rate is. What happens when they start to intermix these and apply artificial intelligence to them?"
While no reports appear to have surfaced so far of states demanding access to health data from wearables like the Apple Watch, many countries are fast introducing new methods of surveillance to better understand and curb the spread of the coronavirus.
Numerous European countries, including Italy, the UK, and Germany, have struck deals with telecoms companies to use anonymous aggregated data to create virtual heat maps of people's movements.
Israel granted its spy services emergency powers to hack citizens' phones without a warrant. South Korea has been sending text alerts to warn people when they may have been in contact with a coronavirus patient, including personal details like age and gender. Singapore is using a smartphone app to monitor the spread of the coronavirus by tracking people who may have been exposed.
In Poland, citizens under quarantine have to download a government app that mandates they respond to periodic requests for selfies. Taiwan has introduced an "electronic fence" system that alerts the police if quarantined patients move outside their homes.

Is Snowden even allowed internet access at this point?

Trump would never allow this. He's a man of the people.

Does this mean we all get a free Apple Watch?

This is insane!

We know China's ability to do this, but it's also one of the things left out when people bring up South Korea's response. They tested a lot, but they quickly went through all your stuff to track movements and to find possible contacts or source of your infection.
I wondered about the heat sense tracking when I saw them do this to show spring breakers leaving and spreading out going back to their various home states.

This is definitely going to happen.

If the government is that concerned with how I've been spending my quarantine them I am happy to mail them a collection of my dingleberries for their perusal.

Has he acknowledged his CIA ties and his role in trying to destroy the NSA's surveillance capabilities yet? Not that I liked that either...

Edward Snowden has only ever been worried about Edward Snowden.
He deserves the bed he has made.

Yep this is going to usher in a huge power grab from all levels of government, once again to keep us safe. They’re already walking over the constitution mandating that we can’t gather in groups. I get the rationale but frankly don’t care. I hear people in times like this "fake news" needs to be silenced more than ever. For our safety. We are in a totally different world than we were in 3 months ago.

and it’s not just Democrat trash who support this. There is a massive percentage of some of the most “freedom loving / anti-government” Libertarian know-it-all’s who have completely bowed down and are in full blown panic mode. Desperately looking for guidance from their master. Their government.
With the use of fear, most people will bend the knee and lockstep in agreement with their master, their government. It’s pathetic.

They are going to eventually demand small chip implants to monitor body temperature, heart rate, etc.
