| Stop Smart Meters |
Activist Post
If you have ever wondered if your smart meter is being used to spy on you, well now there is proof that governments and private organisations are using data collected from smart meters.
Information about power usage, which can be used to identify when a home is being occupied, is being shared with third parties including government agencies, private organisations and off-shore data processing centres.
This unethical breach of privacy was discovered on the website of one of Australia’s largest electricity retailer, Origin Energy.
Electricity customers who sign up for an online service that provides the account holder with detailed information about their electricity usage are unwillingly agreeing to share their private information with third parties.
A 496-word Privacy/Consent policy form explicitly states that customers who wish to sign up for the service that provides them with information about their electricity usage, must agree that the following organisations have access to their private data:
- Government authorities
- Electricity installers
- Mail houses
- Data processing analysts
- IT service providers
- Smart energy technology providers
- Debt collection agencies
- Credit reporting agencies
One private organisation that is being given personal information of Origin Energy customers is Tendril, a self-described consumer engagement application and services provider and an organisation that believes smart grids can help fight climate change.
Alarmingly, Tendril’s own website doesn’t explicitly state how it uses data gathered by its clients and for what purposes the data can and cannot be used for.
What implication this has for Australian residents is unknown.
There has been an overwhelming opposition to the roll-out and installation of smart meters around the world.
Smart Meter opt-out coalitions are present in almost all major municipalities that have smart meters present. Unfortunately, in many municipalities an opt-out is not available.
The author (Andrew Puhanic) was forced to have a smart meter installed on his property, with the only notice given about the installation being a letter informing the ‘month’ that the smart meter would be installed.The greatest concern with smart meter data being shared with third parties is the fact that the third-party organisation could easily identify (over time) a pattern of when you do and do not use electricity.
This information could fall into the wrong hands and could be used to determine when your home is un-occupied.
In Australia, the erosion of privacy was escalated further by a new proposal to force Internet and telephone companies to retain customer records for more than two years. For more information about this proposal, click here.
Households that are forced to have smart meters installed must be assured that the information their electricity company collects is not shared with third parties.
Ultimately, smart meters are designed to collect information about household electricity usage; and now there is proof that electricity companies are openly sharing information collected by smart meters.
So what happens when a tyrannical government or criminal has access to your electricity usage records?

Came to my house and did not ask me if it was OK when I found out I threw him out. Got one on my business without my knowledge but not my house.
Neighbor called he was trying to unlock her gate and sneak in they threw him out.
Do not know what is going to happen hopefully we will be able to stop this insanity.

I live in a very liberal area, and we all rose up and said to PG and E that we demanded the option to have or not have smart meters. Because our local politicians supported the public demand, we were given the choice. You have to pay a little more to cover the monthly physical reading (this of course requires PG and E to come on your property, usually during he day when you are at work.
I pay about $10 a month to keep my old meter.
It's not just about Big Government (our local govt leaders supported the people here) but about Big Corporations.
I don't know if moderates or conservatives would rise up, as our very liberal community did, but it worked. We have a choice, and choice is freedom. We don't want the government or the energy corporation spying on us!

These nsa devil worshipers are letting you pay for your own mind control. Forget the blank check these heathens get each year of your tax dollars. They should stick a 220 watt cable up nsa Gen. Alexander's ass. Sorry he might like it.
LOL anon!
Well here in UK, about 2008, article in Independent UK newspaper... Lord so-and-so, with most shares in TaleXeus company that makes smartmeter, gets promotion on board of directors. Next thing a few months later all elect customers with pre-payment meters get notice hat 'due to recent government legislation, smartmeter installation will be mandatory'. No guesswork to find out who authored the legislation.
Think smart meters prevent them from coming into your home and 'reading' your meter? Guess again, people. Even though data is automatically electronically sent from the meter to the electric utility, they still have people come round and "read" the meters.
Sheep sleep.
Rumor has it that the most effective way to deal with a 'smart' meter is to wrap it in aluminum foil. The same way that it works to fend off from those brain-frying gamma rays, it will fend off from prying eyes of the feds. :)
