In the shadowy world of electronic surveillance, tactics used by law enforcement agencies are rarely revealed. But now an international protocol about how to best monitor and track people online has been disclosed for the first time—offering a unique insight into covert police methodology.

It's always nice to know that the UN wants to expose the ways Law Enforcement officials conduct business -- so the underworld can come up with counters...
Thanks UN!

For effective evasion of law enforcement in organized crime I don’t think you can do better than the TV series “Moonshiners” ,, a very entertaining and informative show.. you might even learn a new trade.

The uncontrollable impulse to control and survey the Internet by governments, corporations, and other groups, is eventually insuring that it will be destroyed in the long run.
They have reached the collective conclusion that the liberty to communicate freely must be stopped at all costs, as it is a threat to their ability to control others.
Paradoxically, the Internet also has potential to be the most powerful tool ever devised for taxation and micromanagement, so they do not want to destroy it outright, even though they are. Instead they want all people to have no choice but to use it.
You said it all right here, “They have reached the COLLECTIVE conclusion that the liberty to communicate freely must be stopped at all costs...”
At least those of us that pay attention won’t be blind sided - and hopefully will endure.
You and your family have a Merry Christmas and Safe New Years!
