Tech sales techniques by the ‘Smart government initiative’ breach
privacy laws and are certifiably disingenuous when it comes to
Smart-Technology’s capability of heightened home surveillance way beyond
acceptability. Ask yourself this question: why do you think the most
surveillance nation on the planet requires consumers to install Smart meters?
Because they know the majority have introduced Smart Technology into their
homes without inkling about the implications. The difference with a Smart Meter
is you’re not in control…alas you are in control with a Smart TV / Phone.
Internet usage by the means of having an Internet Protocol (IP Address) is indeed your unique identity online, this data is housed on a Server and encrypted under privacy law; even SmartMedia i.e. ‘Netflix and Samba’ including Android has an aspect of user operational control, whereby data is protected by encrypt software. Putting it plainly Wifi has its own WEP, WPA and WPA2 coded protections; Smart Meters indirectly unlock these protections due to the non-protective communication (s) / language the technology systematically enforced on the User / Consumer, (Government Initiative); what’s inherently the case Smart Technology by codec-condition -- it shares and harvests data with any device that’s Smart-orientated. One incredible jurisdiction was exposed on ‘Dragon’s Den’ … whereby an Energy based Start-Up firm categorically announced they were open to manipulate the Energy Sector market by not offering consumers energy saving tariffs but were engaged with enveloping Big Energy Corps recommendations on their site.
Meaning
there’s a double whammy of consumer corruption; one being the website doesn’t necessary
offer better energy deals per se; alas, abides to the whims of prioritizing
recommendations based on what energy firms are willing to pay for it. Equating
to a huge incentive for any investor, obviously the dragons’ snapped their
tails and wanted a piece of the pie ---- and secondly, recommendations are automatically affiliated to Smart Meters; in
other words terminating tariff competition in real time; henceforth, creating
an energy monopoly of less consumer choice.
In retrospect, the government led scheme believes that trust is so high in regards to Smart Technology formulated systems that no-one will question the data provided. By the early 2020s, it’ll be less about the energy cost, and more about the sale of the eco-saving and technology. Erroneously, this is the crux of the self-regulated capitalistic market: the Smart Meter is designed by Smart Technology Corps, inadvertently; Smart Meter security is entrenched with STC policies, along with unknown integrated wireless networks by hopping onto digital radio waves. Imagine the plethora of surveillance available when Smart Technology tags onto radio waves?
Smart tracking devices can dictate across the board, from
listening into private conversations to spying on every movement and habit you
may have; invaluable data for consumerism and if questioned the marketers are
informed to enroll into the art of deceptive
coincidence. Worth noting that if a
Smart Meter buffers or updates your uncertain where this derives from, this
differs greatly from a workstation of the onus the user has full operational
control; henceforth, the data goes via the home Wifi. Radio-waves are a
different threat entirely, by ten-fold. Yesterday’s science fiction isn’t just
here today, Smart makes it invisible…. i.e. downloads, buffers, and updates
from one source to a Smart device does so without authorization via
radio-waves. Indirectly, giving Smart
Meter Technology immense power over our decisions through practically second-guessing our needs and wants; and
unfortunately consumers are blind to these unseen dangers.
The fact that we’ve for a generation have seen
buffering updates as a means of normality is part of the problem; why Smart
Technology has exploded from the back of decades of intrusive buffer practice. Furthermore, via apps and the daily frequency of
digital use and downloads implies we’re quickening up our lamb to the slaughter
actuality by introducing the ‘nice and helpful’ buffering codec to invade the
home and cerebral prose -- the act of accepting this data in truth breaches sensitive
liberties at whim - the result is: there’s an increasing consensus our liberties
are being drained on a daily basis… equating that any decision you make cannot
be truly your decision – call it instrumental indoctrination.
One of the disturbing issues of generational obsolete knowledge of Smart Technologies ‘end game ‘ at the demand of capitalism and greater wealth is the industry overwhelmingly has dismissed the AS (Advertising Standards) code of conduct in regards to providing honest advertising. Smart Energy GB enforces the strategic analogy that Meters stores and transmits simple information on how much your home has used. Simple data in reference to your name, address and bank account details aren’t stored or transmitted to the Smart Meter via the Energy supplier. In accordance to Smart Energy GB your digital data is not applicably available for sales and marketing purposes, unless you give them permission to do so.
Again, this automatically is done by agreeing the Smart Meter terms; in other words by unceremoniously agreeing to having Smart Technology within the home. Smart Energy GB was not willing to divulge how government led scheme works in the sector of Smart-Industries. Some may view this as government intrusion especially when there’s large numbers of consumers involved i.e. 20 million before the next General Election. Some of us may denote another field for data-harvesting emerging; because firms like Cambridge Analytica potentially could’ve opened up a legal chasm by having to quickly offer all their coded capabilities to the authorities.
Tech-engineers
in the summer haplessly claimed the digital harvest is close to being harvested
and via AI and Deep Learning
governance are eager to invest into such crops… namely 11 billion GBP --- and
on cue the May administration are partaking wholeheartedly. Those savvy among
us will have already realised the delusion factor laid bare by Smart Energy GB:
to evaluate personal energy savings and how much your home uses, data has to be
compared to your personal history, meaning data is shared for a result
(recommendation) is made. The breach is also the method of transmitting choice…
why ‘radio-waves’?
The answer rests on the ease of data access for governmental surveillances: in fact the the most intercepted means of gaining data ever; indeed, radio-waves = zero Smart security – inane Energy policy which is government led not Smart-led and so archaic, the tech-orientated could intercept the German attack intent during the ‘Battle of Britain.’ Odious protections in truth but it exemplifies how the current administration treats our civil liberties, for every man and his Smart Meter knows really that data is out there and is used in means they wouldn’t imagine. If a message pops up on the Smart device from an outside source unknown to you, this is evidence of data mismanagement at best data breach at worse.
I’d likely seek out some
verification on the so-called Smart Meter
Bill 2018; passed through parliament in May 2018 - in truth, an Act of Parliament; notably, under the direction of Greg Clark the Secretary
of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy. Clark can exercise
powers predominantly for Smart Metering, to provide for a special
administrative regime for Smart Meter communications with licensees -------
Really? In accordance to Smart Energy GB your digital data is not applicably
available for sales and marketing purposes though, you could claim it’s a severe
breach of privacy. Yes, the Smart Meter Bill 2018 can be viewed online. See the
terms ‘regime’ and ‘communications’ two expressions that breaches your liberties
in your own home, written under the perverse veil of UK law. Smart Meters will be outlawed, don’t invite
them into your homes.

"More bullying by the electricity companies, trying to scare people into installing ‘smart’ meters which are, of course, anything but smart. One user was sent a letter saying his electricity meter certification ‘is about to expire, meaning your meter may become unreliable’.
He was told that he should get a smart meter to make sure this does not happen. Once again, unless you read this carefully (‘may’ also means ‘may not’), it looks like an instruction. Given the famous unreliability of ‘smart’ meters, this is also a bit of a nerve." Peter Hitchens, 07/21
