Why is everyone so anti-NSA or whatever stuff

[Nonnel]

Because it's the curbing of our right to privacy in the name of "counter-terrorism"
Surprise, they still haven't caught anyone

they can use any reason they want to look at your stuff. and if there's a security breach, then outsiders can get a hold of all of your information. passwords, nudes, credit card info, anything

Well if you're not doing anything wrong they won't
Also stuff, not my nudes!

[Decepticon]

though i don't really have a problem with the surveillance,

If you have nothing suspicious to hide there is nothing to worry about, right?

this is a stupid thing to say and i hate to see people use it

Because I want to go buy a gun and I don't want to get turned away because I called someone on the blockland forums a monday.

Your concept of what is suspicious and what the CIA thinks is suspicious are two different things.

to be fair, its not like theyre going to just announce that they caught someone

[otto-san]

it's fine until the wrong person uses that ability. once you've let govt poke at your rights a bit, it's generally hard to reverse that decision. we should not set the precedent that government is allowed to monitor network traffic or the contents of any privately owned devices, because that means the government could essentially claim a right to all digital information, on their terms, at their convenience, and that is not something you want to happen.

Ignore his point for a sIcK mEmE. Classic move.

[The Resonte!]

Because the NSA recently enacted a bill that requires all technology, including cellphones, computers, televisions, etc. to be fitted with their special tracking chip that gathers GPS information and records audio 24/7 before being supplied to retailers.

is this actually true? :o

no one complains when the system works as in people only hear about what is not caught

not that i agree with it

I'm starting to hate stupid people more and more and buddy the dogs are starting to pass you on the scale

the NSA should have something to show for years of spying on US citizens and other countries

[ultimamax]

And the nsa won't look at your stuff if they don't have a reason too.

What is this perfectly just fantasy NSA that you're imagining? If Edward Snowden hadn't thrown his entire life away to tell the American people, we wouldn't even know that these programs existed. What incentive is there for the NSA to police its own employees?

The problem is that the stupidest stuff ever can be twisted in such a way to absolutely destroy a person.

For example, outing a politician or a holder of public office as homoloveual (whether true or not) by "leaking" gathered online conversations can absolutely destroy their chances of being elected to a public office. Gathered information does not have to be illegal in order to harm a person or entity.

Fun fact, the FBI tried to do this to MLK by blackmailing him with private information of his infidelities. It didn't work, thankfully.

that would be an interesting statistic that they could show off

terrorists caught pre spying and post spying








hm. i wonder why they have not done that yet. . . . .
