Re: lot of data That's not the same thing. Theft is taking something that doesn't belong to and repossession is taking back something that does belong to you. |

If it wasn't, it doesn't belong to the FBI.

Us = US citizens who paid for that information via taxes - either directly or through the cost of purchased goods.

The first presumption to have when addressing these dilemmas is:
By default: My government must be fully accountable to me.
By default: I am not accountable to my government.
If we recognize that principle as a foundation, rational discourse is easier to come by.

kudos:2 | As I've posted elsewhere, referring to your other posts which weren't entirely clear doesn't help your argument.said by Noah Vail:Us = US citizens who paid for that information via taxes - either directly or through the cost of purchased goods. I think you're stretching.said by Noah Vail:More wrongs that are best fixed through meaningful accountability. Accountability, yes. Cracking and intruding in computer networks and then taking data and releasing it to the world isn't accountability. |
