All of the so called western democracies have morphed into this, all apparently for our own good. Hitler never died.

[2012-02-18 15:44:54] 79Yamato - Well they are not ' ...Well they are not 'spreading' it. It doesn't reproduce itself like a virus. Its only placed on handpicked computers of suspects. At least they say so. (I don't believe a single piece of the shit that leaves a politicians mouth)
[2012-02-12 05:13:25] GreekYoutubification - Fuck You Germany!! ...Fuck You Germany!! We do not Forget We do not Forgive THE NAZIS!!!!
[2012-02-03 10:23:42] richardburns1560 - They use force, to ...They use force, to make you do what the deciders have decided you must do. They will use all that is neccessary to bring you to your knees.F*#$ THAT.FIGHT the DECIDERS.evil force.
[2012-01-31 21:27:23] FlyawayNinjaCow123 - Dat illegal shit ...Dat illegal shit bro, children's clothes so evil. What the fuck is wrong with the police?
[2012-01-26 03:26:05] za8cun - shit this is scary~ ...shit this is scary~ the government can get access to like everything. woa woa woa
[2012-01-14 20:56:09] Southparkateer2 - I hardly think the ...I hardly think the police would have the resources and motivation to watch everyone's activity just for the sake of it, however what this can create is for police to tap activists and other type of people, governments don't generally like, and wait for the smallest of mistakes from their part to make a case out of it.
[2011-12-31 05:47:43] Windrider999999 - this was good ...this was good quality children's clothing made in EU and we cannot undermine china's monopoly on everything until they suck our economy dry
[2011-11-10 14:24:49] TomFynn - "There is no police ..."There is no police state in the making" I recall that once someone said that no one intends to build a Wall...
[2011-11-06 21:21:02] TheDq93 - Spying !Spying !
[2011-11-02 03:23:54] albert6014 - Lets imagine your ...Lets imagine your government goes into China mentality. Or Soviet Union. I already see how good it is >.> Especially knowing the fact that it always gets worse than this.
[2011-10-31 12:42:04] TheKhaksaar - Hitler is dead. ...Hitler is dead. Long live Hitler.
[2011-10-28 02:45:42] 411American - Can YOU -produce ...Can YOU -produce police names, badges, addresses and numbers on line for public information ?
[2011-10-27 19:17:45] NE0NF0RCE - The CCC actually ...The CCC actually have developeded that Trojan, don't believe shit like they only discovered it by coincidence. Btw, CCC is infiltrated by Freemasons, they're definitely working for the gov. Wolf in sheep's clothing huh :)
[2011-10-27 15:06:38] waranish - The have American ...The have American bias lately....
[2011-10-27 14:28:00] ShadesofScorpius - It's not good ...It's not good because they don't stop wtih just monitoring the 'criminals', they will monitor YOU, too. If they loosely define who is criminal and who isn't they can watch everyone doing anything and you'll have a big-brother police state. You can say "Well, I haven't done anything wrong, so this won't apply to me" but they'll say "well, we'll just watch you incase you DO do something", or they'll get you on phoney charges. It's not good at all.
[2011-10-27 03:43:49] sl2k4u - that means that ...that means that they are watching when I jerk off when I am watching porno, lol...
[2011-10-26 23:45:59] derZyklusII - i love CCC, ...i love CCC, especially after the movie "23" they're much smarter then the mob-mentality driven Anons
[2011-10-26 20:38:29] CodenamePingu - This is actually ...This is actually good, why are people thinking this is negative?
[2011-10-26 20:25:05] sonoki82 - I'm guessing that ...I'm guessing that the dude suspected of selling children's clothing was either thought to be selling stolen clothing or was selling knockoff copies of designer clothing. But it's just a guess since Al Jazeera's reporter is not big on clarity. Either way, it is overkill for the German govt. to be spreading trojans onto its citizens' computers.
[2011-10-26 18:22:09] 0515524847 - hahaha so you know ...hahaha so you know this stuff... lol
[2011-10-26 17:44:31] mieroth - @slantedseven: I am ...@slantedseven: I am. Transparency is what leads to a safe and secure society. If you're not willing to give up your own privacy you can't expect people in the political or corporate world to. And if there's no transparency there you're heading for severe corruption and instability. Reason the Nordic countries have been so successful in general is largely due to transparency. But still - I may be able to easily find out the salary of my neighbour but why would I want to?
[2011-10-26 17:25:20] Polydynamix - We all miss the ...We all miss the days of back orifice
[2011-10-26 16:58:02] 0515524847 - :) I know what you ...:) I know what you mean. Well I guess you need to be a hacker to save yourself ;) lol not that i am a hacker at all. XD
[2011-10-26 16:29:04] Polydynamix - I understand the ...I understand the words you are saying, what I am telling you is- just because you uncheck a radial box in the settings to "disable a resource" doesn't mean that the trojan itself is unable to enable it again. We're not talking about the trojans that we used to send our friends in the 90's so we could swap their mouse buttons or send ourselves screenshots of their desktops... we're talking about a whole new monster.
[2011-10-26 16:12:56] 0515524847 - Well If you know ...Well If you know how these things work...you would understand that these things usually have very poor design & are fairly easy to understand & thus avoiding them is also easy. Once you get to know that these waters aren't as deep as they seem...you will also share my views. PS: If u disable a resource that trojan uses to do its Job...it cant succeed in its job as it never gets access to the needed resource rendering the attack ineffective.
[2011-10-26 16:00:26] Polydynamix - I just don't think ...I just don't think a few system tweaks is going to keep the government out of our business. Our operating systems are designed with contingency plans integrated.
[2011-10-26 15:40:35] 0515524847 - PS: A trojan uses ...PS: A trojan uses systems abilities & resources to do its work. Mainly these trojans are designed to steal info or get remote access to your PC. If you had closely read my post, I actually disabled this ability of a system to grant remote access to any one. In other words I showed a way to strip your system of this resource. Therefore rendering the trojan's attack ineffective. With this no outsider can remotely access your web-cam/mike etc or other system resources.
[2011-10-26 15:36:40] 0515524847 - You are right but ...You are right but there is an easy way around....don't use automatic update & if u absolutely require it then do it manually. I never update windows anyways cus the last time my rig got attacked...it was via windows updater.Trojans only get bypassed if the Anti-virus is manually allowed to leave it alone otherwise... the least bit suspicious .exe files are flagged & blocked. so make sure that a file is 100% trojan free before giving admin rights to it.
[2011-10-26 15:29:39] freesk8 - The point is that ...The point is that total security is not possible. Govt can not protect you from everything. You must tolerate imperfect security in any case. And you must tolerate imperfect security if you hope to have liberty. You must take some responsibility for your own security, if only by being prudent in your comings and goings. And there is a far greater risk of having your wealth seized by government these days than by anarchists. In the US, govt already seizes 40% of GDP!
[2011-10-26 14:22:29] Polydynamix - It's all irrelevant ...It's all irrelevant, the windows update component bypasses firewall and security settings. If the government wants to put a trojan on your computer, they will use a class that is undetectable with antivirus software, and they will deploy through windows update.
[2011-10-26 10:33:31] Wieahlbie - Chaos Computer Club ...Chaos Computer Club: Kann ich bei euch in die Lehre gehn? ;)
[2011-10-26 10:24:10] marksmansnipe - So a government ...So a government too weak to protect us won't stop anarchists from taking everything that we have?
[2011-10-26 08:53:34] AncestralReflections - Yep we definitely ...Yep we definitely need to keep children's clothing retailers of the streets, they are farkin evil don't you know!!! This would be funny if it wasn't so damn serious.
