slave code

Software designed to repress the legal communications of law-abiding citizens. This includes the concepts of "Internet kill switches" and electromagnetic jamming technologies. The intent behind this code is to enable political elites, dictators and police states to repress free speech at whim, and should be viewed in the same light as manacles, yokes and leg fetters: All of these technologies are implements of slavery.

Narus, now owned by Boeing, is one company that provided slave code to the Mubarak regime, which was used to repress their subjects' communications during the Egyptian political protests of 2011.

code reading

This is what psychics do to you on their séances. Trying to make some sort of connection between you and your significant other by saying some words and asking you: "Does that make any sense to you?"

Code reading example: I've got sb giving me the name Charles is anybody here who knows sb by the name of Charles?
