Honestly Dyna.. We have just had two extreemly important events take place which are pro Demoracy and pro freedom..
The Patriot Act appears to be shut down by Congress and Obama signed an executive order which a stops much of the excess military hardware going to police departments.. Both actions should be celebrated as good for our rights and civil liberties. |
what do you mean "honestly dyna"? and spell my name right for once. i show you the same courtesy many many times.
i'm trying to have a discussion and you keep making comments like that. it's like you've never actually persuaded anyone before/had a discussion. anyway, it's more fun to not take you seriously. gofuckyourself/ |

I was saying honestly.. Because I find it hard to believe that anyone could see this as a bad thing.. We are getting rights and freedoms back from the govt.. It's not very often that govt's are forced to give up power. The patriot act didn't make us any safer.. The FBI and NSA have not once stopped a terrorist plot which they were not playing bait the tango.. This spying did not stop anything. |

Well, the renewal bill died in the Senate and the NSA is shutting down the program.
However; Quote:
There were no conversations tapped/recorded. There is no implied right of 1st Amendment Right of Association for criminal or terrorist purposes. Lawful purposes -- yes. If the LA Times citation of: "About 300 such searches were made in 2014" is correct -- then you are just getting your panties in a bunch over this portion of the PATRIOT Act. Quote:
Mobile phone calls and VOIP use SIP encryption and the message packets take the route of least resistance. Consequently, the routing methods cannot be predictable -- any supposed possible interception might only be partial. The real intrusion into privacy is not covered by this bill. The internet data (and probably this entire thread) is being scrapped, legally, and databased possibly as it is a public conversation. But what of instant messaging text, IM video and audio? The above communication has no expectation of privacy legally under US law. Quote:
Hey look at the monkey! The phone meta-data is inconsequential. Congress is full of shit (as usual). Are "real" terrorists really that stupid to communicate in a venue subject to this scrape? Or, are we just stopping the idiot wannabes? |

There is however differences on where they want their out of controlled spending going and various civil issues. With Democrats they usually want to spend heavily on social services, while Republicans want to privatize everything and hand truck loads of money over to big business. It's both welfare, just different people getting it, but it has very different affects on people's lives.. |

They see some idiots on message boards saying they want to jihad. Then they approach these idiots and convince them to attack a US target.. (ie the FBI usually develop the entire plot and is supplying the fictitious bombs weapons ect) They then set up the deal to hand over these bombs/weapons and they bust the guy when he shows up claiming intent. This is shit they can do with out destroying everyone else's right to privacy.. The mass collection of data is just lazy police work.. Also the 300 look ups is BS.. That's 300 warrants.. They were not getting warrants for the mass data scraping and yes they were very much looking at that data. They were using blanket warrants to cover every one whom use a specific carrier.. ie so every single customer at Verizon wireless was 1 warrant.. not 1 warrant for 1 specific person. |

the EU are basically the US governments vassal states...with the US drone army 10-20 years away, I am hoping russia and china invest the fuck in to WMD of all sorts...not that the russians and chineese will treat smaller countries better, it would just be so refreshing to see the USA out of europe.... |
The phone meta data is in plain text in the headings of the public IP packets -- it has no right of privacy by law -- get it?

@crockett -- why not worry about a real invasion of your privacy?
https://www.eff.org/issues/calea CALEA law (1994) The FBI or NSA could be scraping up all communications (they both have domestic surveillance mandates) With regard to a telephone numbers certain; they are using john doe warrants with various carriers (traditional phone carriers, VOIP, SKYPE, others) *. at carrier. The best thing was to do nothing -- let the bill expire -- and that has occurred. What will probably happen next is that the Senate will modify the wording and make in the past law withstand the constitutional scrutiny of the courts. The House and Senate conference committee will edit the 2 bills that passed into a bill that will be approved by both houses, Obama will sign it, and in the end: it will have the same parts you (and I in most cases) object to. So, if you want real privacy use your own encryption keys that only you and the other parties privileged to the message have the keys to (certificates to). |
