He's not a douchebag, you just dont agree with his opinion.

And if this is the kind of argument we are going to have then maybe it belongs in P&N with the other bitch-fests. Instead of the sophisticated world of OT.

Everyone has a right to an opinion, but some opinions are wrong.

hay guys lets allow wire tapping and search without probable cause because it'll help us find pedophiles/terrorists/communists/ATOTers. let's also remove all anonymity from voting so we can tell which terrorists and child molesters are voting in favor of privacy laws. people caught reading terrorist literature like the US constitution or bill of rights will immediately be rounded up and sent to gitmo.

I do none of the things you mentioned, I don't even ever drive over the speed limit. If the FBI monitored my life they would be bored as fuck. It's simple to not break laws, and it's simple to not do shit the government will come after you for. I use my grocery store club card when I shop, so they'd know exactly what I buy (if they wanted to) i registered my GPS so I'm assuming they could easily track everywhere I drive. Privacy means something, but I'd give up my privacy if it meant eliminating some pedos from the public. Even if all they ever would do is look at pictures they need to be locked the fuck up.

Besides, they're not going to monitor shit unless they have a reason to, and they're not going to monitor shit to see if there's a reason to. They'll go after records of people who get busted for shit like this, and use the records to help them nail the fucker. It's a win/win. There's zero chance they'd ever ask my ISP for records of what I did.

Your argument there boils down to "I myself don't have anything to hide, so I don't mind trashing the Constitution and turning this country into a police state." To which I can only marvel at your utter and complete lack of critical thinking skills.

Pretty sure it's to kill the market for it so that those that produce, and the heinous act that is involved with that, will stop. That and viewing can maybe lead to acting on it in some people.

That's my point entirely. We are prosecuting people for what they might do? This reminds me of some weak-assed Tom Cruise movie...

I love Rachel Maddow. If she ever turns straight, I'll hit it

I figured the FBI already had access to all this information through Carnivore. Guess this will be a more streamlined version (just a list of URLs and timestamps, vs full packet dumps)

With agencies like the FBI continuously snooping on internet traffic, it's best to just assume the government is watching your every move, and avoid doing illegal stuff.

The cost for ISPs to implement this will be crazy. We're not talking TB's of storage space here, more like PBs or even EB.
