[Infowarrior] - ACLU Surveillance Soceity Clock Campaign

The reality is we are fast approaching a genuine surveillance society in the
United States - a dark future where our every move, our every transaction,
our every communication is recorded, compiled, and stored away, ready to be
examined and used against us by the authorities whenever they want. The ACLU
has created this Surveillance Clock to symbolize just how close we are to a
"midnight" of a genuine surveillance society. But it's not too late - there
is still time to save our privacy.

 WHY THE SURVEILLANCE CLOCK?
    
€  Powerful new technologies
€  Weakening privacy laws
€  The "War on Terror"
€  Courts that let privacy rights slip away
€  A president who thinks he can ignore the law
€  Big corporations becoming extensions of the surveillance state
