/Surveillance/Nothing to Hide

During the last decade a number of incidents have shown increased hunger from centralised structures of power to use various technologies against Albanian citizens. Patronazhistet monitoring voters, massive data leaks from E-Albania, laws that give authorities vague powers to track citizens without any prosecutor being involved have proven the clear intentions of the Gov(s) to use various technologies against citizens. The most outstanding example is the law imposing businesses to have cameras inside and outside their premises a clear violation of our privacy even in public spaces. Outsourcing surveillance at its best!
Let's try to understand the networks that monitor their lives, opening up spaces and tactics to remain invisible to the eyes of power, to resist the oppressive regimes of visibility.

Ironically Govs say that if we have nothing to hide, we shouldn't fear. Time to retaliate! Time to keep track of the ones monitoring us.
