  1. EU nations have told populations they have legal political protections.
    What do the mil and police do? They keep collecting and use parallel construction.
    The other method is to use social media in real time to track political crimes.
    No retention needed if everyone is under investigation all the time.

  2. Re "You just answered why data-retention length laws wouldn't work."
    Lets take an Irish problem in the 1970's Every person of use sent to UK from Ireland gets arrested. Their accent, work, documents just don't provide any long term cover as a new person in a community. Reported on at any new location in the UK by a network of informants. Followed. Police then caught entire support networks.
    Perfect documents, work and a local accent are difficult to create.
    The next option was generational. Immigration to the UK in the 1970's with a next generation ready by 1990. An entire life in the UK but still totally loyal to Ireland.
    No accent problems. Every document, education and profession would be correct. Work would provide cover for transport and equipment.
    Any CCTV and database would detect a company, their trusted worker and not alert.

    East Germany attempted to place its university graduates into West Germany to work their way up in government and enter West German society.
    Decades later they would have been well placed to pass back secrets after years of work and advancement.
    Accent, hair cut, politics and presentation was not correct for the decade. Detection was easy for West German police given the generational cultural changes in West Germany and the politics.
    Data-retention going back generations is the only way to work out who belongs in a nation and who is loyal.

  3. Re "Same with security camera footage. Unless there's evidence of a violent crime, it doesn't need to be retained forever -- overwriting it after a few weeks provides enough time to keep it in case a violent crime is discovered, without creating a "permanent record.""

    The only easy way to track people who pay with cash and gift cards is to track their face and licence plate.
    Get a image of any passenger helping them too.
    That CCTV frame of a face is kept for years.
    Linked to any licence plate. Data storage is now so low cost. Its more easy to collect it all for years than pay contractors and police to look for a crime in real time.
    Once reported faces and movements can be tracked back years. Same with voice prints.
    No gov is going to give that up.

  4. From the USA spying on France in the 1950's.
    The USA over Vietnam.
    The UK in Ireland. The UK into West and East Germany.
    The NSA collecting it all.

    Computer users have two options.
    Stop using network computers. Thats difficult for most people.

    Start flooding networks with random cultural junk when online. Bonus points for creating new intelligence thats collected on.
    Remember what made the East German system so complex? A new file on so many people. Confidential informants reporting on undercover police. Add to your file everyday.
    Into math, science? Talk of your new patent, ideas, crypto advancement.
    Finance? Talk of cryptocurrencies.
    Medical? Pollution and talking to the media.
    Art and culture? Remind the world of past mil and gov projects.
    Enjoy the collection and add to it every day in funny random ways.

  5. Think of it from the Communist Party perspective.
    High speed rail existed as TGV https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... , Intercity-Express https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... , Transrapid https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and Shinkansen https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    Only China could bring all the advanced tech together and make it in China as a low cost export.

    People from 20 countries see the absorbed foreign tech working in China and like what they see. A company in China presents the tech as innovations.

    Its just a return to free fire zones https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... and what the UK did during the Boer war.

    ie "anyone unidentified is considered an enemy combatant."
    ie "a scorched earth policy of destroying Boer farms and moving civilians into concentration camps."

    But with robots who always obey. Can a cute robot really do a war crime?

    What data is being used to train AI for what ?

    The value is in emerging trends. Election data sets. Unexpected local news that trends in a city, state, then goes national.
    Products and services that are sill in demand all over the USA.
    Any emerging fashions, slang, search terms, word use that is very local.
    State and federal police also want the terms searched all over rural USA.
    Shopping reviews and product searches.
    No part of the USA will not be collected on.
    The negative comments about pollution, water quality, prices, quality of food, cost of transport.
    Politicians and governments pay a lot for local trends that can sway elections.

  8. Security services. One CPU thats part of the brand doing your user crypto.

  9. Approved ads get nice encryption from your brand to all the users.

    Buying the secrets of staying in space is the challenge for China.
    Who to approach in Russia, the former Soviet Union, the USA with space job offer.

  15. Re "systems which pump out grads to satisfy the tech industry, as well as the other major industries."
    Will that once great engineering ability last another generation with the amount of politically correct scholarships given for non academic reasons?
    The major industries are now social media thats spying on users? That growth is related to users allowing the spying.
    A company that designs in CA and has its production lines in China?

    That 1950-1990's security clearance advanced engineering skill set is starting to be replaced by .com consumer brands?
    Consumer brands that can find their skill sets globally.

    Next time hire the experts from Russia and the USA who have the secrets about keeping a space station in space for a long time.
    Make the unemployed space experts an offer and get their secrets to China.
    Remember the FBI and FSB do have surveillance on most of the very best space experts all the time.

    Thats great for the lifestyle of the wealthy workers.
    Why are the shareholders and owners of a company subsidizing workers in a state with that tax rate?
    Move to a better state with lower taxes. Enjoy the profits and savings.

  19. The comment did mention "Okay, you can snow ski and water ski in the same day" and "too many to list computer company's"...

  20. So a company has to stay in a state to support the travel lifestyle of its workers after work?
    So they can ski and then get stuck in traffic?
    A company can be near the big social media spyware brands? A direct low latency connection to adware and spyware?

    That the problem.
    All the US gov system does if anything is consider if the person wanting work in the USA is "university" educated.
    Another nation prints out "rocket surgeon" qualifications after 3 years at their low cost national university.
    All the ads in the US media for "rocket surgeon" not getting filled? Thats how US brands sneak in their cheap workers legally.
    The US gov accepts that "rocket surgeon" is part of another nations educational system with further question. That the USA is totally lacking in skilled "rocket surgeons"
    . A low cost worker from a low wage nation walks into the USA to a waiting job.

    Dont use social media. Use a VPN. Use a CC online only for rare shopping services not in your community.
    Stop feeing the AI on the easy things.
    Make the AI have to use CCTV face tracking to collect on who pays in cash.

  25. What does CA have that no other part of the USA has? What keeps the SJW brands management paying so much just to stay in CA?

    Many parts of the US have very low cost power, great internet, nice homes in good parts of a city.
    Housing and site expansion are lower cost.
    Other states have wealthy cities with good education, are safe, clean and have nice weather all year.
    Populations that are ready for work. States without a need for CA level tax rates. No need for your brand to help pay CA tax rates to cover massive illegal immigrant support costs.
    State and city governments all over the USA would offer amazing tax deals to get your brand into their states.
    Other states university systems often still graduate on merit. Imagine getting support staff who graduated having the real skills they say they do.

    Is the very fact that parts of CA are so expensive the reason why the SJW brands like CA?
    The staff have fooled the shareholders and owners into paying for decades of their CA lifestyles?
    Why don't shareholders do the math to show their brand could make more money and pass back larger profits in many other better US states?
    Find out who is keeping your brand in CA and paying so much tax.
    Move to another state and start enjoying your brands wealth again.
