2 edits | So ... will you call your senator? I know I will ... This goes way beyond the worse case scenario ... this is an all out gutting of any person's right to have any private conversation of any kind online ANYWHERE.
This means that 22 federal agencies ... and INDIVIDUALS (who make up an agency) ... with little or no oversight from the average citizen can do as they would like under any broad umbrella they care to pop open...
and zero notification that your private drawers are being rifled through ... (all on the premise that "they" are looking just in case anything "good" is there) ...
Think about it ... any health issue you may not want public ... that ... private discussion you have with your friend ... family member etc ... that ... financial discussion ... ALL LAWFUL ... and PRIVATE ... not so much. 
And think about the professional industry ... attorney client privilege ... your accountant ... your doctor discussing options ...
Care to express your political views privately (and within the scope of the law) ... nope ... not so private ... care to discuss anything beyond the most mundane ... up for grabs ...
And ask yourself this question ... what are the repercussions for abuse by an agency (and anyone that says this will not be abused is living an a very lovely place in their mind)
If only this were an imaginary problem and tin foil were the solution ...
(note: edited for grammar ... just in case the grammar police are looking too)  |
