Reddit reviews Permanent Record

Released today. Amazon has it.

This article is word-for-word identical (including the same pictures) as the original version published by the Sunday Telegraph on April 29 last year: https://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/nsw/spying-shock-shades-of-big-brother-as-cybersecurity-vision-comes-to-light/news-story/bc02f35f23fa104b139160906f2ae709. I'm not sure why it has appeared again on another website with today's date. There is no new information here.

On a related note, Edward Snowden's book "Permanent Record" has just been released: https://www.amazon.com/Permanent-Record-Edward-Snowden/dp/1250237238. For anyone who is unaware, Snowden was an insider at the NSA (the US equivalent of our ASD); he had access to and in 2013 leaked to journalists a historically unprecedented amount of information about the mass surveillance activities conducted by the US, UK, Australian and other five eyes intelligence agencies.

Any time you hear about the government requesting new powers like those discussed in the article, there's a good chance it's merely an attempt to obtain proper legal footing for activities they've already been conducting (or collaborating with other five eyes partners to conduct) for many years. For an overview of the revelations see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_surveillance_disclosures_(2013%E2%80%93present).

Here's a book for you:

Meh. There is no writer noted, it's AP publicity puff as seen anytime anyone with name recognition is releasing a book.

In his case he can't exactly go on tour, yaknow?

So, the publisher - or a contractually obligated and independently contracted 3rd party - pays to play , puts it out there they will pay for any type of clickbait articles (100 words or more!) to drum up business.

Or even releases their own made to order press release - in the old days these would be marked as press release, for immediate release etc.

Make no mistake, the main idea of that article was to remind you there is a Edward Snowden alive and free in the world and now has a memoir.

Not only that but provide this is a permanent record available to the government. So it's a spy tool for them too.
