Inspiration: The Intercept article from Henrik Moltke
“Mass surveillance is always initially justified as a necessary defense against foreign enemies. Then comes the inevitable mission creep, as surveillance methods originally conceived as tools of war or foreign espionage are brought home and turned inward.”
“Collection that would otherwise have been discarded because it could not be directly linked to a known target is now subjected to analytic algorithms that can reveal new targets of interest.”
“We got the intelligence much faster. But it had great consequences for the civilian population. … Many civilian lives were lost due to imprecise intelligence. The rapid turnaround made it harder to insure the quality of the intelligence, and the large number of operations meant that civilian injuries increased accordingly.”

The image associates with a view – true or faked reality – stolen from a typical Closed-circuit television (CCTV) instantaneous webcam. It repeats the angle and quality, displaying a feared mirror image symbolic of the oppressive culture of global video surveillance.
The BND agency employs about 6,500 people in Germany and around the world.
Its bold new presence is meant to signal a more self-confident global role but the agency is not without critics in Germany, where security services can evoke memories of the Stasi and Gestapo. Revelations in 2013 from Edward Snowden that the agency closely cooperated with US and British services in the surveillance of digital communications shocked many and led it reduce cooperation with the US National Security Agency.
Suspicions among some had also focussed on the fake palm trees outside the building, which the Berlin senate in January confirmed were an art installation and not covert listening devices.
I really push you to get and read the new February 2019 book from Shoshana Zuboff: The age of Surveillance Capitalism
