Most People already have heard of
Mr. Schäuble, the Minister of the Interior of Germany who is constantly and partially successfully trying to
convert Germany into a surveillance state. Platter is the Austrian equivalent of Schäuble. He is less known, but more effective: Here in Austria, we
already have a fully functional surveillance state since 2 weeks.
Now, there is a website named
platterwatch.at, which is a community driven approach to fight back: To follow and observe Mr. Platter and to document his life, via youtube videos, flickr pictures and blog posts. A nice idea, IMO. Unfortunately, they don't observe his private life, only the public part, because this would be illegal otherwise.
