Is it horrifying for a dead body to be dissected publicly? It must be gruesome, but if that happens to the corpse of someone you knew, is it a reason to take offense?

I don't see that it is. The dissection can't harm the person who died, or per memory.

If my corpse is someday publicly dissected, I think that will not be a reason for to take offense on my behalf. Instead, please support what I have done with my life — the Free Software Movement.

Distributed Denial of Secrets posted a large collection of photos that two US surveillance departments leaked through total carelessness. They show us how invasive state surveillance has become in "free" countries.

Trying to restrict the use of this surveillance data will tend to be ineffective. After all, there is already a law against lying in court testimony, but that doesn't make thugs stop doing it. The US has a history of persecuting people by calling them "terrorists", so limiting the use of the surveillance to "fighting terrorism" won't protect us.

That is why I advocate prohibiting the installation or operation of dangerous surveillance systems that surveil people in general.

I am not surprised he would do this. He generally does what's good for the rich, and that includes his family.
