I get your point and not 100% but somewhere 80%, I agree with you. I hope you got my point too
i do get your points. but using context of available rules, policy and just common sense.. GOVERNMENT are not pro-active in monitoring. politicians dont sit at computers watching their constituents/voters..
yes PRIVATE BUSINESSES monitor their customers and report on their customers when certain suspicions are raised. but its only then that you will get investigated by "government".. this is the governments 'if you got nothing to hide you got nothing to fear' because their policy is if your not doing anything suspicious you wont become a file that sits on their desk, and they only care abut the files that land on their desk that have met some standard of suspicion to even arrive on their desk
even in china the government is not watching everyone. they too set policy for private business to react to their customers and then if certain thresholds are met report that to the government. i laugh at people that scream that china is more of a surveillance state than say UK/US
heres a fun fact for you about your normal real life social privacy. if you are falsely claiming social security/disability/unemployment funds whilst able to work.. you are more likely to get spotted and reported by a disgruntled neighbour, than by government staking out your house randomly.
yep if you are driving a nice car and a large screen TV is seen through your window and you are walking around your front yard doing gardening, without signs of medical aids. but tell your neighbour you dont work because you claim disability. it would be your neighbour you should fear more than the government
privacy fear is not about the government.. but about people and businesses you interact with
if you look at how many employees the UK HMRC and US IRS employ you would learn quick, due to maths they do not have the time to live monitor everyone 24/7
the US IRS have under 100k employees meaning 1 employee per 2500 working age citizens. meaning (excluding weekends and vacation time) they are if every employee was doing the same job would be processing 10 citizens a day per employee or one citizen per year in 50 minutes per employee
yet these under 100k are not doing the same job. there is actually under 3k 'criminal investigators' meaning beyond the majority automatic rubber stamping claims. they are only looking in detail to well under 1% of citizens (the reported citizens)
a majority of the 100k staff are just call centre staff and admin/management. the amount of investigators and time to actually watch citizens is super small
so all im saying is if you do not want to become one of those special suspicious files that land on the desk of a government investigator. learn the policies they use to weed out certain people. such as the FACT that mixers and AEC WILL get you flagged by private businesses receiving such funds.
thus find a different tool utility not listed as 'mixer' 'aec' to avoid getting reported
