The big boss is watching.
World over investigating
authorities engage in spying and surveillance of people speaking against police
and other government authorities including the party in power.
This is done under the
pretext of preparing for riots and other disturbances during otherwise peaceful
protests.
So far so good.
Governance is a complex job and the trouble makers should be kept at bay. In
most cases the police know them as they know the petty thieves.
What happens if the
information so gathered is distributed among public and private sector
organizations, who happen to be the employers or future employers of
people involved in public demonstrations and protests against the misdeeds of
the people in authority? Wouldn't they fire them on flimsy grounds? Wouldn't
they refuse to hire them for no reason?
So, watch out, the
big boss is watching all of your activities on the social media. They may put
blocks in your daily life. They may get you fired. They may add
unfavorable lines in invisible ink in your CV.
Does this mean curtailing
freedom of expression? Yes.
Does it mean to intimidate you? Yes.
Does it mean you mind
your business? May be.
Choice is yours.
