Kudos for you and your family for giving so much of your time, faith in the basic rights of human beings, and standing up to the inverted pyramid we call capitalism! Why should we be treated any differently than our wealthy for our rights to privacy? I love living in the U.S.,but have made it a priority to wean myself off of technology. No cable,no dish-we buy carefully chosen, high-quality movies with cash), my cellphone is OFF and only goes with me in the car for emergencies; groceries and incidentals are paid in cash. We did end up buying a new car after 12 years with a paid-off used one and will drive this one well after it is paid off, too. For my husband and I,getting off the grid means being selective in our long-lasting friendships, not giving out personal information to anyone, and enjoying time with family more. We are moving soon to a rural area where we can walk to just about anywhere we need merchandise or services, have a house paid for in cash, with independent options for utilities- naturally, we will opt for choices that don't require a paper trail. We are training our children to know about identity protection as well as self-sufficiency, what our forefathers simply understood as true freedom. We are not alone. Wow, wow, wow!

Your film scared me more than I already was. I wish I was financially able to disappear. I ha e avoided Facebook, but still could be tracked by my phone, i am thinking of getting a disposable, my email, car, credit check, credit cards, banking info, here in the US and in the UK, taxes, voter registration, party affiliation, job, medical history, I had a mental issue and am on the no buy guns list in our state, not that I want one, or I guess they could find me on the gun registry list, if I had one registered. We recently bought a condo for retirement. To get a mortgage they investigated EVERYTHING you could think of. We are not young and have moved several times, and never had anything like this before. I even had to provide my dads death cert and will because they wanted to know where the down payment was coming from, and and a bank statement was not enough. They wanted FIVE years of taxes, and STILL called my employer for verification of employment. If I had the cash, I would like to get on a fishing boat in Florida, getting another off the coast of Cuba, and find my way to some Latin country that is techno ignorant.

I loved the film and am in the process of recommending to friends and family. I have begun to think very seriously about the companies, government, and the university i attend and what information they have on me. I found that even my university has a personnel data access release form. It is also worth noting that a £10 cheque is required, just to access my own information (not great news for the skint student)! Near the beginning of the film, you read out recorded 'moods' that, i think, your phone company had. I was just wondering how to get hold of this information as I think it would be very interesting. Thanks in advance, Nick Hi David.

Within a few weeks of my comment, a fair number of companies listed as using RAC dropped off the list. Who is watching who? I decided to have some fun and analysed RACs first annual report - an interesting list of people attended their first meeting at Edinburgh Castle. Also, MITIE plc is shown as the sponsor for RACs. I looked them up at the Registrar of Companies, particularly their Scottish divisions. The list of security companies they own, within the "Facilities Management" section is considerable and appears to include links to local authorities, airports etc. etc. Anyone can download info from the Registrar for around £1 a pop which gives director information, financial returns etc. The director information even gives home addresses of those individuals who are silly enough not to put down their company address as their main address. Follow this up with a visit to 192.com and you can find out who else lives at the home addresses they have supplied and you start to build up a picture/history of individuals. Interestingly some of the individuals are stupid enough to have Facebook pages - check out their "mates" and you start to get a pretty good cross section of individuals within the security industry. So you see, we can also turn the tables on those who watch us and get a picture on them. Any bets how quickly certain Facebook pages will be taken off general view and future info to the Registrar of Companies may show directors change of address? Cheryl Hi David
