Comments on: South Korea also crowd sourcing intelligence – via game http://technoccult.net/archives/2009/06/30/south-korea-crowd-sourcing-intelligence/ A General Interest Blog for Weirdos Tue, 16 Mar 2010 22:52:09 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Klint Finley http://technoccult.net/archives/2009/06/30/south-korea-crowd-sourcing-intelligence/comment-page-1/#comment-308737 Klint Finley Wed, 01 Jul 2009 16:39:43 +0000 http://renegadefuturist.com/?p=7379#comment-308737 Yes, that is the hope, and we're seeing it gradually start to happen (so far mostly to cops, not to politicians who have been snared by citizen surveillance). "Little Brother" also has one big advantage over Big Brother: we know precisely who we need to surveill. One of the biggest problems for "Big Brother" is the signal to noise ratio involved in trying to watch the entire population. We only have to watch the powerful - a much smaller data set. http://www.wired.com/politics/security/commentary/securitymatters/2006/03/70357 Yes, that is the hope, and we’re seeing it gradually start to happen (so far mostly to cops, not to politicians who have been snared by citizen surveillance).

The hope (not at all inevitable, but a hope) with the surveillance state is that citizens get more/equal access to the data and help keep the powers that be in line. Unspoken is the counter-game.
