Rupert Murdoch and his unscrupulous News Corp sons Lachlan and James
In Murdoch's homeland of Australia, Members of Parliament, such as Doug Cameron and months prior, the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, publicly slammed him for his outrageously illegal conduct that saw him surreptitiously spy on children who were murder victims, politicians and celebrities, for scoops he printed in his international newspapers and broadcasted on Fox News in America and Sky in Britain. Doug Cameron called Murdoch "A threat to democracy" and he is right. Murdoch's and company's conduct has been undemocratic and unlawful on every level.
There also exists a greater threat to privacy in this case, which goes well beyond phone hacking, wiretapping and hacking. On the surface, it is invasive, but due to established technological capabilities, such invasion of privacy also has another layer - the ability to turn on mobile phone cameras and mics, as well as those of computers/laptops and literally watch people in their homes without their knowledge, during their most private moments, including those in states of undress or during sexual intercourse.
