De Introns uploaded two new and free recordings to their bandcamp page, including the song Run. This song is about state- and social control and the difficulties we face in everyday life resisting it.
Everything we do has become traceable and left vulnerable to hateful attacks and to surveillance by the police or corporations. Social media turns into social control. The pressure others impose on us and we ourselves internalize to keep up a lovable face and a successful life measured by societies standards, is killing our options to stand together and seek support and help.
It is one thing to have other people and yourself limiting your freedoms, a whole different level is the huge opportunities the present day digital society hands the state and corporations. Our cellphones track our location continually with GPS, in addition the Dutch introduced the OV chipcard to make it super easy to follow individuals whereabouts when they use public transport. The data on our health is being neatly organized in the Electronic Medical Records (in the Netherlands the EPD), our financial affairs are all easily accessible, our mail is mostly e-mail nowadays,… Staying anonymous has become a political act as resisting the state becomes more and more difficult. There is a longtime tendency for the corporations and governments to eagerly collect all the data about the individual citizen, turning it into profiles to use for policing and advertising, while the public faces extreem difficulties getting knowledge about the functioning and acting of said institutions.

Lyrics
Run Run Run
They’re holding a gun; run
The system is collecting,
suspecting. What were you expecting
from aliens detecting
all data and meta, collecting
for meta analyzing
The resistance ain’t rising.
No fighting the state,
no fighting, just hate
Run. Run.
Run Run Run
We’re holding the gun
Green paper for later
The office is später
No rules to brake
when you’re always late
Understanding the situating
and demanding in frustrating
Why the fuck won’t you run
You better run, run, run
Run Run I’m holding the gun
You post your shit on the wall
expecting me to take the fall
Stupidity rules in the land of the fools
Bravery is punished and the winner is the dumbest
Understanding the situating
And demanding in frustrating
No fighting the state No fighting just hate
We are fighting the state, keep on fighting the hate

Tip:
In het boek ‘Je hebt wél iets te verbergen: Over het levensbelang van privacy’, laten onderzoeksjournalisten Maurits Martijn en Dimitri Tokmetzis zien dat privacy het meest bedreigde mensenrecht van onze tijd is. Ze leggen bloot welke gegevens je allemaal weggeeft en aan wie. En, belangrijker nog: welke ingrijpende gevolgen dat heeft voor ons allemaal.
Dit boek is het resultaat van jarenlang diepgravende onderzoeks- en datajournalistiek naar privacy en surveillance voor De Correspondent, waarvoor Maurits Martijn en Dimitri Tokmetzis verschillende journalistieke prijzen wonnen.
