Thanks for the link, (I think) infuriating stuff. What I’m reading is if anyone is going through any life experience they need “social help”. Then of course the social workers will feel they need to report them to the authorities.
“The Department of Education, meanwhile, informs employees that co-workers going through “certain life experiences . . . might turn a trusted user into an insider threat.” Those experiences, the department says in a computer training manual, include “stress, divorce, financial problems” or “frustrations with co-workers or the organization.”
“If this is done correctly, an organization can get to a person who is having personal issues or problems that if not addressed by a variety of social means may lead that individual to violence, theft or espionage before it even gets to that point,” said a senior Pentagon official, who requested anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss the issue publicly.”
Another good one is the BBC series that came out
in 2008. I remember watching it and thinking all of it would be possible soon, but thankful it wasn’t in place yet, and fearing Obama’s election. Little did I know it pretty much was in place already, and would soon be ratcheted up several hundred notches.

Stephen Ezard (Benedict Cumberbatch, Atonement) returns to London to mourn the loss of his brother, Michael, and enters a society now obsessed with surveillance. Searching to make sense of Michael’s death, Stephen uncovers secrets about his brother’s life — including a wife he never knew Michael had. Taking a government job to trace leads through a powerful new database, Stephen exposes troubling revelations and soon finds himself stalked by a rogue agent (Robert Carlyle, The Full Monty). But when Stephen stumbles into an international conspiracy, he realizes that the omnipresent and menacing eye of the government has turned on him. Scripted by Peter Berry (Prime Suspect 6), The Last Enemy offers a frenetic ride through the paranoia and politics of a futuristic surveillance society.
So. .if you’re alive and therefore experiencing the normal ups and downs of life..you should be spied on by your coworkers.
Must make for a cohesive and productive working environment, eh? Gotta love that teamwork spirit.
