This is DISGUSTING. I believe privacy is a more fundamental right than that to free speech, the vote, right to arms etc.

Agree.

Well, maybe equal to free speech.

But definitely fundamental.

And some wonder why data encryption is so popular with some people. I guess we should be glad that encryption is still legal for consumers, at least for now.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."
The Founders put in some fine print though, which is always omitted:
"Should technology ever be developed which makes it very easy to quietly violate the security of someone's personal effects, this amendment will no longer apply."


What part of that isn't clear?

Yes, that way the private sector could instead pick up some of the data spying market. That data's worth lots of money, but alas, all that value is being wasted by the government.

Thankfully, it's easy to fool deities with simple spelling changes. It's not as if the Bible says that thoughts are just as bad as actions.

Just the fact that "unnecessary censorship" clips get a laugh shows that censorship doesn't quite work as planned. The bleep sound eventually comes to evoke the same thoughts as the word or words which would have originally been spoken, which was supposedly precisely the same thing that the censoring was intended to prevent. Oops.

People like you really need to seek help. It's simply not a good indication of mental health to have such a hate and fixation on a group of people. It's clearly blinded you from realizing that both parties support such things.

What's more retarded is the fact that you bring this up and I would just hazard to guess that when all the patriot act debates were raging, you were one of the bush ball huggers saying things like ' well, if you've got nothing to hide...'

Open your fucking eyes, please. For the sake of everybody on the board.
Fact troll strikes again.

Not. We told Barak his healthcare tax would bankrupt America and he did not make any adjustment.

Socialists. Go figure.

I think it'd be more accurate to say:

That's what I love about Democrats. You start paying attention to what they are doing and they scurry for cover like roaches until you stop paying attention again.
