"Authorities in Ireland are set to be given access to private social media conversations in order to spy on anti-mass migration sentiment following the riots in Dublin.
After an Algerian migrant stabbed three children outside a primary school, fiery but mostly peaceful protests broke out in the Irish capital.
Authorities reacted by being more outraged at the protesters than the actual would-be child murderer, who should have been deported 20 years ago and was previously released after being arrested for carrying a knife.
Now Irish people who share spicy memes in WhatsApp chat groups are going to be under government surveillance should this new ‘hate speech’ legislation pass.
“Gardai will be able to access and intercept private conversations on social media sites under new legislation, as the Justice Minister promised to crack down on crime following the riots in Dublin,” reports the Irish Times https://substack.com/redirect/5c3ac2a3-1a62-4acc-bc26-7789669f0059?j=eyJ1IjoiMTVqYnRvIn0.au6NgCsdgsf5goCifuX5t6Uq_hr0GKSIo-F6bUfPMWs

Service providers "own" the data on "their" services, so when the service provider chooses to give or sell that information, the government does not need a warrant.
Pretty sure the anti-mass migration sentiment isn't a secret.
"The new legislation will also empower authorities to demand ‘cell site location data’ from cellphone companies to help them locate dissidents.’
In Ireland, people are awakening to the surveillance state — and if you just became aware of mass surveillance, this story is shocking. But here’s the thing: The regime has all this info on you already, whether you’re in Ireland or Iowa.
Privacy is a myth. It’s a Godwink this news breaks in Ireland one day after Shellenberger and Taibbi released the CTIL files —which reveal proactive information operations deployed on so-called ‘dissidents’ and ‘bad guys’ — by NGOs staffed with both Americans and foreigners — with tacit approval from government entities.
The global regime doesn’t recognize national boundaries, and they certainly don’t care about your civil liberties. Governments use private entities to defy their statutory restrictions, and in the CTIL Files, they’re admitting it on recording. Paul Fleuret and I are breaking it all down from a change management perspective on Sunday’s Culture of Change, and we are starting an hour early (5pET) to give these explosive revelations the focus they deserve.
As for Ireland, the sooner everyone realizes that our online activity — public and private — is tracked and accessible by the regime, the sooner we can begin solving the real problems plaguing our homelands around the world.
Our digital self is a (very intimate) extension of our physical self and, as of now, you don’t have any rights to your data. In fact, those in Ireland have greater data privacy rights than Americans because of GDPR and other EU regulations.
Data is more valuable to the regime that any other form of currency, because data allows them to be model and predict against your digital self — staying steps ahead of those they’re tracking — while those they’re tracking believe they’re engaged in protected protest activity.
Data is power. The world runs on data. It’s all about the data.
Unfortunately, at least on paper, the global corporate communists own the physical hardware (server farms), almost all the platforms, most of the services, and the majority of the megaphones. So we have to fight smarter and with intention, and that begins with understanding the digital battlefields.” — Ashe in America
