Re: Encrypt everything

Probable Cause is required for anyone to tap your communications. You cannot turn on a tap, and filter the data for info and sell it. The ISP does not have probable cause, and thusly is tapping your data illegally.

An we're not talking about people doing bad things. They are tapping everyone, all of the time.

Probable cause is a very weak standard. It is vague and nebulous and essentially allows pretty much any excuse that sounds even remotely reasonable for wiretapping. BTW - Judicial review is not necessary for "probable cause." Probable cause is nothing but an excuse to snoop by law enforcment for no other good reason than because they want to.
