"Carnivore Is Sorry"


-It's Mark Daggett's "apologetic snooping program." The wikipedia page lists Radical Software Group which I mentioned in the earlier blog about "PoliceState."
"Carnivore Is Sorry" is another client of Radical Software Group's snooping program named Carnivore. Daggett's program finds people that the network has been spying on and sends them an email that has a compilation of images from websites they've viewed. However, a feedback loop blurs all the images together.
This is a program that takes seemingly meaningless data and turns it into a digital masterpiece that looks like abstract art. It has a lot of meaning in it. If only we could figure out what those images are and where they came from...
