Those Privacy Digest statements sure are good for a chuckle or two, unless you are paranoid about everything in life and choose to believe everything these people write. They might make for crappy reading on a rainy day…

China, Cuba, the old Soviet Union, and many socialist and communist regimes keep even much closer tabs on their citizenry, even going as far as telling them who they can and cannot have visit them at their home. If they have a visit from a known government dissident, they can be brought to a facility where they can be interrogated by the G-2 and such, and put in jail for a time to try and make them align with their government's regime.

How would you like to have a government spy on each corner of every city block spying on every citizen on that block? Did you know this happens today? Have you read about it?
Where have you seen this written about before?

How come Privacy Digest has nothing on this, yet it has been happening for decades in the Communist Island of Cuba?

These things have been going on for many, many years, yet I don't see anything documented anywhere on this by Privacy Digest Website…

I know if Privacy Digest sends people to some of these countries, they will not be allowed to go on their own and mingle with the ordinary citizens to get the to the truth of the non-privacy. Rather, they would/will be assigned a guide that would only take them to see and talk to certain "trainnned" citizens that can tell them lies in favour of their government and their institutions.

I have been to a few of these countries and certainly lived through the things I have mentioned.

So, I don't think Privacy Digest is anything other than an alarmist propagandizing enterprise, certainly nothing they say is important to me since they only seem to report on what can only further their "agenda"

current trends do tend to have proprietary agendas that are not always necessarily good for the common people.....
