In the end the worrying thing is not that "they" are watching us, it is that they do everything in their power to stop us watching them. Whether by voting you government in or even by abstaining they are still your government and you must do what they say - including going to war. But if you are unable to watch them then democracy itself becomes no more than a marketing exercise.
To best avoid inciting any discriminatory hatred maybe the portrayal of any group should be obscured. A code should be used for names. e.g., replace "Islamist" with "W4FK9zists". Photos should be edited to replace all extremist group related persons with a common icon. I am sure "Bob" Dobbs wouldn't mind if his likeness replaced those of terrorists, religious leaders, members of political parties - or anybody else for that matter.
