Valencia, CA | ISP level is bad enough... But at the home network gear level ?
Big brother will surely be watching.
I suspect that in a short time, the MPAA, RIAA, government and external companies will have full access to all of your gear LEGALLY, and the Internet will become a fully controlled/monitored/proxied commercial resource full of ad sponsored useless spam... its not far from that now.

If they want access into my network and equipment they'll have to pry it from my cold dead hands. |

Speaking strictly for the US: show me the line in the Constitution guaranteeing the right to privacy...

| Show me a line in the constitution where you have the right to travel in the country freely. Or where you have the right to own property.
Don't bother, because they aren't there. These rights, much like the right to privacy, are broadly interpreted to exist based on the foundational history of the constitution and the context of the other amendments. |

The Constitution does not specifically mention a right to privacy. However, Supreme Court decisions over the years have established that the right to privacy is a basic human right, and as such is protected by virtue of the 9th Amendment. The right to privacy has come to the public's attention via several controversial Supreme Court rulings, including several dealing with contraception (the Griswold and Eisenstadt cases), interracial marriage (the Loving case), and abortion (the well-known Roe v Wade case). In addition, it is said that a right to privacy is inherent in many of the amendments in the Bill of Rights, such as the 3rd, the 4th's search and seizure limits, and the 5th's self-incrimination limit.
Its not "Guaranteed" in the Constitution, but has been determined MANY times over by the Supreme Court as an inherent right. |
