Nicky Hager: “‘If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve got nothing to fear’ is like a slogan from a police state”
Is there any such thing as privacy in the age of social media and smart phones? Exciting new YA thriller novelist LJ Ritchie talks to author Nicky Hager about the realities - and unjustified fears - of state surveillance.
" It is awful if people wonder needlessly whether someone is reading their private email, or decides they’d better not be involved in politics, or generally shrinks down and limits who they are because of an unnecessary fear of surveillance. Because, unfortunately, the fear that we’re being watched does almost as much damage as the reality would."
How can Hager be so incredibly unaware? I think he literally profited from hacking private emails of more than one person!

Hagar is a Grade A fluffybunny.
fuunily last week I was discussing something via e-mail with one of my clients, and thought shit I wonder if these e-mails will get flagged.
He is a bee keeper and sells hives with live bees in them, and they call them nukes.
So in e-mails to him and a couple of third parties I was discussing him selling nukes....

I think you need to add a 'the' before 'hacking' in that otherwise correct statement there Baron.
As it reads you are accusing him directly.
-
Yes I am. I think he planned and instigated it. To me that is the same as hacking.
-
@Baron-Silas-Greenback what you think and what is proven fact are two different things. Is it smart use of this forum to make libellous claims against an obviously litigious person?
-
It is not libellous. It is my belief .... if I had stated it as fact then he might. But I am allowed to hold an opinion on who hacked the emails. Free speech is not actually dead yet. No matter how hard the regressive left try to make it so.
The major defenses to defamation are:
truth.
the allegedly defamatory statement was merely a statement of opinion.
consent to the publication of the allegedly defamatory statement.
absolute privilege.
qualified privilege.
retraction of the allegedly defamatory statement. -
@Baron-Silas-Greenback
I'm not trying to catch you out. Did you edit that first post or did I misread it first time?
Either way I agree there is nothing wrong with you stating your opinion. I just thought you had inadvertently overstepped the bounds. -
I changed it. Because as much as I think there was nothing wrong with it, it was the easiest way to avoid the distraction.

Smart, you may be right but how much do you want to spend to prove it?
-
More than Hager would be prepared to pay. In fact i reckon I could crowd source quite a hefty sum just based on people who loathe him.
Dont tempt me to change it back.... -

@Hooroo I reckon you are correct.

@Baron-Silas-Greenback I'd chuck some money to that fund...
Funnily enough, I don't think he's the sort of guy who reads a sports forum anyway...

Believe it or not the little weirdo is actually a qualified builder.
