1:33 pm
many months possibly years and so that enables the system to develop a statistical model of what is normal and maybe what is abnormal and so then there is automatic flagging of anything that is considered abnormal. in locations where thousands of people pass in front of the cameras every day it's even more difficult for the systems to determine what is normal behavior and what isn't. people simply on their way to work what does this group hide a terrorist. anyone suspected of crime in the u.k. quickly loses their right to privacy. the face what units of the london police presents faces of suspects to the public using footage from security cameras posted on the internet. this is a gentleman of interest. and as jim says appears. through his problem there so it

1:36 pm
target is discovered the way the becomes a constant companion it's a height of one hundred twenty meters. and what we're doing is using a g.p.s. lock to do this sort of a double click here we can just keep the subject in the center string and screen and also at the same time the unit will follow him back with us fly this way. when you go. to work yeah we got you here in the hudson coming out as well. so that's why it's good for covert surveillance. would be possible that we in the future see drones flying over our heads maybe not directly overhead but definitely the police are using these now they're using them for surveillance work and not just sneaking around spying on people as a lot of people seem to think so sometimes to catch the bad things going on you need to be a bit i could call a sly. but just secretive about it. there are plans to fit the drones with improved
1:37 pm
cameras incorporating face recognition technology. widely public previously is being exchanged for greater security. michael chandler is the head of vanquish security back in london he's also keen to demonstrate some of his techniques. some of which are alarmingly effective. like how did you get that well basically what we've done was we remotely sourced in the mark from your phone i recorded a pre-determined time and that recording then uploaded to our online platform where . the phone was bugged whilst it was left unattended on a table during an interview with the police. professor who was also monitored. ok so here's the photograph taken in the play station i believe. that one and

1:40 pm
figure out what's important so they can retroactively analyze it that's why they need five zeta bytes of stories that you tough to store it all. you know what's the u.s. government that the two years he was responsible for electronic espionage a decade ago when you began to bug u.s. citizens who left the saudis to fight against terrorism seem to change the rules of engagement i don't want. i mean they're virtually is nothing in the network that they can't have a copy of if they start targeting youth so so so what they already have your data i can't find out what they're doing with my data. but i know they have it ok. so i make sure i write in there whatever i whatever i had to say about them i say that in there so that when they collect that they know what i'm thinking of them.

a right to digital privacy was repealed even though there were no legal proceedings against. my person. within three days without my not. the least we do have a very bad example. of the united states to go into people you know even parliamentarians. countries to. matters. most remarkable about this story is that the key to justice. that it is a member of the icelandic parliament. furthermore twitter was not the only source of private digital information to hand data over to the us security agencies. michael have not what i say in this field in the states for example they speculate it is face perhaps guy or i feels no five but the judge says refuses
1:47 pm

1:48 pm
but it's to rights and self-determination she wants iceland to become a safe haven for sensitive data. they want to put a stop to the prying eyes of the state. we have one last. cherry pick the best. e-mails for example could be protected in the same way as written correspondence. there is absolutely no country in the world this is actually properly addressed the fact how easily it is for governments and corporations to mine through our private data we in iceland are focusing on creating a standard and setting an example and then it would be really ideal and this is one of the thoughts behind the spending want to meet initiative. be ideal if we can
1:49 pm
you know with these new set of laws create a haven in such a way that you know i would like to see it spread to other countries. the police can shut down illegal sites as was the case with this raid on the submarine for online file sharing site the pirate bank. the problem is with the legal information from other providers that may be lost in the process. to protect these data from any access it needs to be in an unreachable place in the future that place could be in iceland the idea of iceland has an inverse touch saving. of say a place of protection because by the simplest information. free speech protecting people against touching it is a very nice woman. stephanie something with. which it will take time so you know. it flew for a long time everything should be a switch
1:50 pm
a bit. but the gates of jones the who continue to use facebook twitter and google claiming she's a guinea pig in the monitored space. she says whoever spied on her feels they can do it with impunity and that's how the case should be a warning. and it is a temptation to go into somebody's home without them ever being able to know about it and then i'm referring to my online home for it is just as sacred as my offline home this is where all my private stuff is this is where all my personal matters are this is where all my thoughts and all marked a beauty of movement can be traced so you know hands off my home. a similar case of monitoring is currently on revelling in berlin. under a home is
1:51 pm
a noted sociologist who is teaching at the home most university. for months he was shadowed and monitored. suspected is the leader of a militant group he committed arson attacks in berlin in two thousand and seven. thus far them off while i stay only a small sum of what was the mooning of the thirty first of july so some a day in the morning before seven and work up to a pounding on the front door and then a mass of armed men fell on me with thick they then three me to the ground tires in my hands fixed behind my back that's a twenty dollars off for you don't get the impression that you're in a film. because they behave like this in one of the thrillers all action movies. give us a callous or so i was already aware that there is such
1:52 pm
a thing as house searches and arrests as if that's directed also against left wing activists the still listed as a that was already going through my head but i could not understand what they actually had to do with me directly at home so it was an abstract fair designed at that point. andrei home was arrested by special detachment and brought to federal court in cannes row. only later did home learn that he had been systematically monitored. the federal investigators that been studying his academic essays in the widespread use of expressions such as gentrification and casualisation had inflamed their suspicions these were terms also used by the militant group that it claimed responsibility for the berlin arson attacks. the investigating authorities had created a character great to use in the investigation which suggested suspects should have
1:53 pm
extraordinary political and historical knowledge and the scientific and analytical ability to execute the attacks. following his arrest the investigating judge ordered holmes detention. after thirty days in solitary confinement the federal court ruled that there was no strong suspicion. for the first time since his arrest home is free and for the first time he learns about the surveillance protocols surrounding him the excerpts from the minutes reveal a detailed investigation into all aspects of holmes life. investigators monitored home social environment in couldn't find any evidence to incriminate him. but this only caused them to intensify their surveillance. according to their logic home is an intellectual who is highly conspiratorial and
1:54 pm
expertly concealing his misdeeds. that they may be on the tail of an innocent person didn't seem to occur to his pursuance. of what conflict you have or what you that's what if he were completely monitored our personal e-mails have been right that they have basically found ways even before the online search to gain access to our computers. or the stock of there is also a sense of political outrage in the country. over the loss of freedom to choose what the main ingredients of domestic social values should be. elementary because those personal freedoms are trumpet in the course of these kinds of investigations and. massive also cause because it's. finally anyone who now searches under a home on the internet we receive a huge number of results in many articles linking him to terrorism. for the
1:55 pm
rest of his life and ray home will be tainted by the phrase terrorist suspects. people are more conscious of the need to protect their digital privacy than ever before the cool for digital self defense is heard everywhere. emails are sent encrypted but many are choosing to do without social networks like facebook and twitter. in vienna this group meet once a week for a cypher party they discuss how to make themselves invisible in the network. whether the theory taught is the goal of that though when the people it's operating on and anonymity that is from web browsing chats or other internet services to make it anonymous most of the credit. until now encryption techniques have only been in
1:56 pm
the domain of the authorities and the late internet geeks these people want to spread the word. of the potus from that site for parties of form spontaneously all over the planet the interest of the population has risen in the course of more government control and more profiling by large companies such as google facebook and others and the interpretation and openness of this profound data is a major problem and a major threat. is a basic human right. back with the internet back with big brother so maybe it's a good idea just like we understood with. the eighty's we have a personal responsibility in fact our friends and lovers and neighbors and when you use the internet without any without anonymity without privacy what you do is you.
