GSOC accessed the phone records of journalists without judicial approval and in contravention of specific ECHR laws against this. Sounds a bit sketchy, that. And why GSOC?
Gosh, it’s so depressing how corrupt the current regime is in this country. GSOC despite most of its staff being from outside the state are all in the governments pocket.
The collusion and corruption always reminds me that we are just another failed ex British state no different from Zimbabwe.
If that’s what GSOC were getting up to then you can only imagine what else goes on further down the ranks.
Hopefully the journalists with stick to their guns and fully proceed with suing.
That is very, very fucked up.
If that was Russia or China people would quite rightly be slating them on here.
That is a massive breach of standards and ethics IMO.
Who polices the police who police the police?
Librarians probably.
Why is it a big G and a small soc? It seems odd to me.
This needs way more attention. If true, GSOC absolutely abused their power and needs to be held accountable. I’d highly recommend Edward Snowden’s book “Permanent Record” to see just how bad government surveillance can get and why you should be worried
This is really fucked up. But reading the article I was wondering why the fuck they’d be doing this. The last paragraph explains why.
They are investigating potential leaks from the Gardai to the press. Amazing that they justify violating humanitarian law, so that they can discipline Gardai.
