Thus far the effects of GDPR seem to have been good. I've had a few emails saying that my details have been removed from various systems I never knew they were on. It reveals something about how data brokering operated until recently.

"[ #GDPR ] was written with the express purpose to rein in some of the worst violations of the #privacy of EU citizens during their online activities. If becoming compliant with the law will cause your business to go under that is more or less the same as saying that your business is built on gross privacy violations. So if that’s your business model then good riddance to you and your company." https://jacquesmattheij.com/gdpr-hysteria

The aristocracy are a good example of how people get trapped in roles and systems which are not of their choosing and how traditions which don't make much economic or other sense can persist nonetheless.

The aristocracy represents the worst aspect of the society. The nepotism. The bowing and scraping to self-appointed authorities. The unearned but conspicuous wealth which actually comes from the population at large. The political correctness of the BBC who will never utter a critical word.

On geomonitoring. If you're carrying a baseband receiver connected to a battery then your position is logged every few seconds and the data stored by telcos. This isn't a new situation, it's been going on for at least a decade (probably longer). The resolution from triangulation especially in urban areas is good enough to tell who is sleeping with who.

This is why there's often advice to leave mobile phones at home if you attend a protest. Even if you use a burner phone the geolocation connects one phone to another within the tracking software.

So nobody in 2018 should really be surprised by this. By now the tracking systems will be in a highly advanced stage of development, probably using AI and unsupervised learning to make inferences and guess future movements based on historical patterns.

Remember the BBC Sound Archive from a while back?

here's how to download them all.

GETLIST=`curl -s http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/assets/BBCSoundEffects.csv | awk -F '"' '{ print $2 }' |
awk -F '.' '{ print $1 }' | grep -v location`
for i in $GETLIST; do
wget http://bbcsfx.acropolis.org.uk/assets/$i.wav
done
