When Congress passed the Intelligence Authorization Act for 2015, it granted the executive branch not only the ability to spy on American citizens private communications, but also the legal authority to turn that information over to local law enforcement.
All of this can be done without any court order being granted, all in the name of ‘fighting terror’, of course.
MOVE TO PAGE 2:
1. For the ppl saying that…. “it was a Republican Congress how is this an Obama thing ? ”
Simple .. Obama had to sign off on it.
2. “Life, Liberty and the pusuit of Happiness”
“Privacy” as far as I see, is not listed as a right.
I guess you could try to argue that “Liberty” equals privacy ? But technically the definition is not the same.
3. If you think that every move you make isn’t and hasn’t for a long time been recorded in some form .
The you are absolutely naive and ignorant of the world around you.
You are being recorded by everything you do on the Internet … what you search, what you buy, all your emails, all your chats.
Hell ! When you go to the grocery store and use you discount card , your purchase habits are recorded.
All your credit card transactions, same thing.
Everyone you walk out of your house there are cameras everywhere !
Jesus ! In some cities, there are enough cameras that they can basically track you through your every step of the day without missing a beat !
Surveillance has become so cheap these days that every business has hidden cameras.
Even private citizens have cameras that watch their homes, their streets…. their teddy bear Nanny came is recording you when you have dinner at their dam house. LOL
Ppl have glasses and pens with cameras in them. Cars have cameras on the dash and rear view now. Your navigation in your car and your phone are tracking you.
Your own laptops camera or your smart TV could be watching you and recording conversations !!
And EVERYBODY has a camera/recording device on their phone.
So whether it be Govt., Corporations, or even a private citizen recording ?
Your days of “Privacy” is an illusion that was gone a LONG TIME AGO !!
Personally, I go to my job, I live a decent and honest life, and if I’m gonna be monitored by everyone anyway.
I would want the Govt. In on it so that maybe they can catch a few bad guys that would like to kill me or you in the process.
Have a nice day everyone.
We’ll be watching ! 😉
The bill was passed in 2014 apparently!?
The Patriot act allowed for this so its been the case sense then
So, a story and a bill from 2015?
Bull$#%&!@*it never happened
When? Not under Trump!
It’s not true
What’s not true? Your phone or satalite service transmitting to more than one place, but faster services being sold to compensate? Without a warrant it’s a data hog. That taxes would be expected to fund. Though really small data, but the technicality could only be, maybe data hog instead of bog was a little exagerated. I’m not bashing security, but do enjoy being right when 1kb an hour is bogging. Lol Why would I upload my voice from one data line for them to act like it’s a download without a warrant? Not all PDFs have voice, but they’re often traveling the same data line as your voice.
They don’t seem to like executive orders, but courts have also used fighting a frisk in court from an arrest as reasons to vote, over reaching suspicion.
Enabling an actual law is catering to a war on terror people want to end though.
