Prozac India

Thursday, October 16th, 2008 by Harry Lewis

The British government is proposing to Prozac india, log every telephone call, the address of every email, and every web site visited by everyone in the UK. To fight terrorism, Acheter prozac, of course.

Bits like these should be regarded as toxins. In theory they can be confined, For prozac online, but the public should be alarmed that so many are being kept, αγοράζουν φτηνά prozac, and so little reassurance can be provided about how they are to be contained. As a nice example to ponder, the Washington Post reported yesterday that the Maryland State Police had classified 53 nonviolent protesters as terrorists and entered their identifying information into state and federal databases that track terrorism suspects, ordering prozac no prescription. What one police official called "fringe people" who needed to be tracked were activists against the death penalty, with no history of violence, prozac india.

But here's the best part. Cheap generic prozac, Police stated that "the activists' names were entered into the state police database as terrorists partly because the software offered limited options for classifying entries."

We've all experienced that. Press 1 for this, 2 for that, prozac lowest prices, 3 for a third thing, Prozac without prescription, and what you actually want is none of the above, so you are forced to pick one of the other options. Sometimes this is just bad user interface design; sometimes it is a way of encouraging people to select an option for which you are trying to drive traffic, παραγγείλετε online prozac, for commercial reasons, Prozac canada, for example. Intentionally or not, this interface bloated the national count of terrorism suspects, ordering prozac pills, at the cost of the personal liberty of innocent people, who are now likely to get shaken down at airports.

And no one can say how many other databases may have been infected with this bogus information.

British civil liberties groups are protesting the data-logging plans, and the government is trying to reassure folks by saying that it's "only" the addresses and phone numbers that will be recorded, not the contents.

1984 is here to be sure.

    [...] As we have said before (here and here, for example), the Internet threats to child safety have been mischaracterized and exaggerated, and spending resources on programs like this draws resources away from places where they are badly needed, helping troubled children from troubled families. Bills like this are transparent attempts to exploit the child safety issue to ramp up government data collection about innocent citizens, data that will be repurposed and abused once it has been collected. It’s the kind of Big-Brother surveillance proposed in the UK, as we discussed last fall. [...]
