Dear new subscribers and new readers of q/depesche - especially to those who might have second thoughts on their own privacy concerning media reports on so called "NSA-hacks" and biometrics. This is all somewhat overestimated as the whole effort is under control of European data protection laws. There will be no matching of list member's personal data e.g. with commercial databases containing personal data [physical adresses, social security numbers etc.] as we have been asked for a while. Real Names are omitted, with a few exceptions of persons worth of public interest.

Zuerst 500.000 Stück installieren bzw ermöglichen und sich dann Schwarz auf Weiß bestätigen lassen, was Kriminologen, Sozialwissenschafter und Bürgerrechtler seit längerem behaupten: Überwachungskameras sind keine effektive Methode zur Kriminalitätsbekämpfung.
Die Illusion an Sicherheit wirkt nicht einmal mehr bei der Bevölkerung – nur bei Politikern grassiert noch die obskure Idee, mit solchen Installationen Ihre Handlungsentschlossenheit beweisen zu können.
