Automatized pattern recognition.

Hail to the techno king!

What I fear is when data collected by secret agencies get accessed regularly by the state and its various offices, for more and more "ordinary" tasks. And lets not have illusions - this will be done. First in the hidden, later legalised by laws.

The issue is not the state accessing it for law enforcement practices (provided the law enforcement works properly), the issue is that the spy agencies are largely unacountable (or not openly acountable) for their actions and sell this data to third parties.

Use the same technology against them...Automated emails or packets would cure that problem. doesn't have to be of the DOS nature, just a continous, erratic, stream of 'internet noise'... soon they won't be able to ID fact from fiction.
