Even if you never read George Orwell’s famous novel, 1984, you probably know that it’s about life in a future dystopian world where everyone must live according to the ideology of collectivism.
One of the most repugnant elements of that story is that citizens are constantly monitored by Thought Police using hidden cameras and microphones everywhere. People were punished severely, not only for what they read or what they said, but even by what they were suspected of thinking based on where they went and with whom they associated.
When I first read that novel as a young man, it was impossible to think that something like that could ever happen in the real world in which I lived.
But look at us now. A few months ago, England arrested and jailed civilians for what they Tweeted! Their jail time was
not just for one night either. Some people were imprisoned for more than a year for nothing more than simply TWEETING what they thought!
This “new-normal” tyranny is just the first glimpse into what happens in a world without privacy. Big Tech is teaming up with Big Brother to spy, censor, and spread propaganda and, if we express dissatisfaction with that, we
will be treated as criminals - perhaps as domestic terrorists.
When George Orwell wrote 1984, it was considered to be a fictional story. In truth, however, he was writing today’s news reports. The Thought Police now are real.
It's absolutely time to be private. It even may be our last chance – which is why I asked Glenn to conduct a class on this topic. The class is titled: “Your Computer is Spying on You... Here’s How You Can Make it Private.” I highly recommend that you attend because Glenn will show you how to do exactly what the title says: turn your current computer into a private one. And it’s a lot easier than you
imagine.
The class is going live on Thursday, March 27
at 8pm ET / 7pm CT / 6pm MT / 5pm PT.
