UK Politicians Claims that Spaying Bill will Protect You from Cyber Attack

When the Governments want to reach our data these, they start to talk about the smartphone usage by terrorist groups or hackers. They say, bad people using them to communicate. Terrorists are planning to attacks to us, or Hacker groups planning to do some cyber attacks. Like these last days, Anonymous do some online attacks on Turkish government websites and some banking websites. Even I think that Turkish Prime Minister did help and still helping the terrorist Groups, but those attacks affect people has nothing to do with this issue. For example, we couldn’t blame every German because of Nazis did in WW2. Many German was against to those actions, and even they send to the dead camps.

Technology changes so rapidly and changing more faster now, every day something new coming up. Think about 20 years ago or just think about the phones before iPhone came up at the first time. Think about your first computers; my first desktop PC had 16GB hard disk in it. Even the smartphone I use plays better games than my first computer. And even the new generation that born and grows up in these technological improvements can’t follow it.
– 
Think about politicians now, all around the world, they are 45 to 65 years old. And most of them has no idea how to use a smartphone. Of course, they can make calls or send messages but we new generation know what smart devices can do. So when some evil people want to use the cell phones for harm someone. Politicians think there is a backdoor on out smart devices, and when is that door open they can reach any information about the people who they want to catch.
– 
They don’t even know there are thousand of the different door to use and many of them we are not even aware. If you have access to a smartphone, the people you want to listen will use some other technology. Like in Paris attacks, authorities realized terrorist were using PS4 to communicate. I never thought that before, but I must say it very smart. And maybe they found new ways now that we don’t know.
– 
Also, I must say today politicians are just try to show, they are doing their job. And, unfortunately, they are using the same tactics like terrorists. Just try to scare people to make them accept what they want.
