How spies listen when your phone is off - IOL SciTech | IOL.co.za

We knew this back in 2001 in the activist scene. When we had a meeting about street actions in Prague at the IMF World bank protests, we all put our phones in a metal cake tin and left it in the other room.

This shows how far the surveillance state has progressed to be able to drop in on anyone who has a smart phone, anytime they choose.
Without the need for judicial oversight.Activists out there remember to be aware of security.
Some things are on a need to know basis.
Minimise your risks and be aware of your governments capabilities to monitor your communications.Especially face book which we nickname CIA book, all Comms are monitored and key word searched, be conscious on what you post.
Stay safe out there and keep networking for a better sustainable more democratic future.
