NZ Professor Advocates Civil Disobedience Against Mass Surveillance

nut writes "We're all aware of how much surveillance we are under on the internet thanks to Edward Snowden. Gehan Gunasekara, an associate commercial law professor at Auckland University in New Zealand, wants us all to start sending suspicious looking but meaningless data across the internet to overload automated surveillance systems. Essentially he is advocating a mass distributed Bayesian poisoning attack against our watchers."

      ...after rifling through emails. What a bull's natural fertilizer smell-bomb! Makes one's mind boiling like a pressure cooker to think he got that prize from dynamite inventor's foundation.

    Just sending a bunch of keywords in email isn't enough - emacs has had a spook function since the 80s so they are kind of used to that stuff by now./ You'll have to act like a crazy-pants terrorist.

    To make it really work we need to bring the eternal september to the islamic extremist websites. Everybody go post on those arabic jihadi websites. Uh, does anyone know of any arabic jihadi websites? Or how to read and write arabic?

    Even that's not enough. Everyone needs to buy backpacks, pressure cookers, and explosives, so the authorities have no hope of finding the actual terrorists. Also take lots of flying lessons but deliberately skip the parts about landing and taking off. And bring a knife and a gun with you _every_ time you fly. They can't lock us all up right?
