I tried to see it and it wont work on this old PC.
Can you give an overview? Couple lines?
It’s what you think. Cops can hack your smart devices and copy, delete, fold, staple, spindle and mutilate your data. To keep you safe.
Australia (according to the video) now allows for the government to hack your phone for information, take over your social media account(s) in the event of an investigation. That’s the basic gist of the story.
From the info provided on the video page, here is a link to the Australian site and summary:
Amends: the Surveillance Devices Act 2004 and Telecommunications (Interception and Access) Act 1979 to: introduce data disruption warrants to enable the Australian Federal Police (AFP) and the Australian Criminal Intelligence Commission (ACIC) to disrupt data by modifying, adding, copying or deleting data in order to frustrate the commission of serious offences online; and make minor technical corrections; the Surveillance Devices Act 2004 to introduce network activity warrants to enable the AFP and ACIC to collect intelligence on serious criminal activity by permitting access to the devices and networks used to facilitate criminal activity; the Crimes Act 1914 to: introduce account takeover warrants to enable the AFP and ACIC to take over a person’s online account for the purposes of gathering evidence to further a criminal investigation; and make minor amendments to the controlled operations regime to ensure controlled operations can be conducted effectively in the online environment; and 10 Acts to make consequential amendments.
I just checked BBC Australia and nothing but they’re thinking about ending the lockdown
If you have any crappy “smart devices”, they can hack them, upload criminal-class crap, and prosecute you.
