In a move described as \u201cway uncool\u201d by Randi Zuckerberg, the victim of this terrible internet crime, Callie Schweitzer took the photo from her Facebook feed and posted it to Twitter. Apparently, Schweitzer believed that the photo had appeared in her feed because Zuckerberg had posted it publicly. As it turns out, the photo was not public, but had shown up in Schweitzer\u2019s feed because she is Facebook friends with Zuckerberg\u2019s sister, who was tagged in the photo. Schweitzer apologized and deleted the picture from her Twitter and the two made peace, with Zuckerberg chastising all the would-be Callie Schweitzers of the world to double-check before re-posting friends\u2019 photos online.

At the exact same time as this Zuckerberg family photo drama was unfolding in the public spotlight, receiving coverage on thousands of media outlets, an altogether more insidious breach of the privacy rights of an entire country was taking place. Unlike the Zuckerberg story, however, which provided plenty of juicy headlines for the online column writers to sink their teeth into, this story was barely a blip on the media radar.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>On December 28, 2012, in the midst of the holiday news break and under cover of the \u201cfiscal cliff\u201d hype, the US Senate quietly <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wired.com\/threatlevel\/2012\/12\/senate-fisa-amendments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">voted to approve<\/a> a renewal of amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. Although hardly discussed at the time and almost never brought up since, the <a href=\"http:\/\/intelligence.senate.gov\/laws\/pl110261.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2008 FISA Amendment Act<\/a> represented a fundamental change to the US government\u2019s official, on-the-record approach to the collection of personal data on its own citizens and others around the world. The Act was passed as a response to the revelation that the NSA, in collusion with the nation\u2019s biggest telecom companies, had been secretly and illegally wiretapping and eavesdropping on American citizens private phone calls and email messages at the behest of a 2002 presidential order from President Bush. The FISA Amendment Act retroactively granted immunity to the telecoms and agencies that had participated in this illegal program, and abolished the necessity for the NSA to even bother receiving a FISA court rubber stamp when eavesdropping on Americans\u2019 personal communications.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>There are many things to be appalled at in both the original 2008 FIA Amendment Act and its recent renewal: the blatant and totally unconstitutional nature of the law, attempting to hardwire into law the total abrogation of whatever was left of the 4th amendment guarantee against unreasonable search and seizure; the fact that years of blatant criminality and, yes, criminal conspiracy between the telecoms and the federal government can be made retroactively legal, thus absolving them of their clear culpability in participating in criminal acts; the fact that Obama was against the telecom immunity before he was for it, and now that there is a Democrat in the White House the fake liberal left that once pretended to care about civil liberties has dutifully shut up on the issue.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Perhaps the most worrying aspect of the Act, however, is that it is in fact nothing new at all. As commentators like MI5 whistelblower Annie Machon have <a href=\"http:\/\/anniemachon.ch\/annie_machon\/2012\/12\/echelon-redux.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pointed out<\/a>, the intelligence agencies of the USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the UK have been flouting domestic spying laws for decades by sping on each others\u2019 citizens and sharing that intelligence amongst themselves via the ECHELON system. This has been known, understood, and talked about since at least 1988, when ECHELON was <a href=\"http:\/\/duncan.gn.apc.org\/echelon-dc.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">first exposed<\/a> by British journalist Duncan Campbell, and yet here we are 25 years later and there still has yet to be any serious debate on these practices amongst the general populace.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>In a sad way, the fact that the FISA Amendment Act was renewed with so little fanfare is not surprising at all. Perhaps Mark Zuckerberg is right after all: privacy is no longer a social norm. Hundreds of millions of people are happy to log in to their social media of choice each and every day and happily share the most intimate details of their life with the world at large. Even regardless of the implications of this destruction of privacy in the face of increasing governmental intrusion and tyranny, the utility of this information to criminals, stalkers and cyberbullies is well known and documented. Yet still, our society cannot even be motivated to hold a serious conversation about the nature and the value of privacy when it comes to volunteering that information to unaccountable corporations who are able and willing to sell that information to the highest bidder. How, then, can we expect the public to be incensed by the FISA Amendment Act.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>In the end, as in so many other issues of vital importance to the future of our society, the vast majority of the public will only be motivated to concern themselves with it when it has personally affected them. When their personal information has been used by motivated criminals to steal their personal identity, or by stalkers to track their movements and learn their routines, or by governments to track and surveil the movements and habits of activists and critics, they will suddenly rediscover the importance of privacy, and why it was held in immeasurably higher regard in previous years than it is today.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>In the meantime, the masses\u2014to the extent that they tackle the issue at all\u2014will be content to rely on argument-by-slogan (\u201cif you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear,\u201d after all) and to treat the nightmare visions of years past as if they were mere popcorn entertainment, wondering to themselves what was so intimidating about the concept of Big Brother, anyway<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"irc_mi icjRs1g9LLss-pQOPx8XEepE\" src=\"http:\/\/paxus.files.wordpress.com\/2012\/02\/facebook-security-cartoon.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"638\" height=\"430\" \/><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mark Suckerberg has a facebook book club. \u00a0 This is what he recommends &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Time magazine thinks Mark Zuckerberg is a vaccination expert too Mark Zuckerberg&#8217;s most excellent book choice, On Immunity by Eula Biss.
