they aren't going to hunt you for a photoshop torrent, before you all shit yourself.

sort of not surprised tbh, government will take some pretty extreme measures with surveillance. first iteration was the Information Awareness Office [URL]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_Awareness_Office[/URL]

well steam isn't on there so your hot furry RP sessions are safe.

another reason google and microsoft and apple and windows should open there own planet

[QUOTE=Medevilae;40929964]Afraid the precedent that has been set in court thus far says otherwise [editline]7th June 2013[/editline] the internet is still a relatively new development, I'm afraid it's going to be a [I]long[/I] time before government's "proper" role in it is established[/QUOTE] To be fair, "unreasonable" search and seizure is pretty vague and subjective.

It's really sad that this is kind of expected. Man the internet has been having a shitload of bad luck lately, something needs to be done but nothing will, it's bullshit.

I love how we take such big precautions to stop terrorism... except for, you know, stopping doing things terrorists hate us for [sub][sub][sub][sub]I know some terrorists hate us solely because we're not an extremist, Sharia Islamic state, but I'm talking about the people who don't like us for getting all up in their shit and shit. [sub]Alternatively we could just nuke them /s[/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub][/sub]

This incredibly similar to this: [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Room_641A[/url]

If it's true, then the only word for it is [I]fucked up.[/I] They can pull up data on basically every person in the world who has ever used the internet with this. And the worst thing is that we can't do a single shit about it. I'm a little doubtful, though - if there are backdoors, then there are lots of people who have the skills to find them. Especially in regards to Microsoft. So why haven't we heard about these mysterious backdoors from the hacking community? The program has allegedly been active in Windows for 6 years.

God people are such sheep about their entire lives being recorded and cataloged by the NSA. We should be rioting in the streets and threatening to burn down Washington for invading our lives like this, but instead people will just like the article and Congress will barely fart.

[QUOTE=trotskygrad;40929961]well steam isn't on there so your hot furry RP sessions are safe.[/QUOTE] but for how long?

[QUOTE=Mac2468;40931677]but for how long?[/QUOTE] there are a lot of secure chat rooms out there [editline]6th June 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=Zeke129;40931490]I use Skype though steam doesn't support video chat[/QUOTE] you know, I do too, and about really private stuff (medical history, etc) so this sort of bothers me.

Conspiracy Theorists: 1 NSA: [REDACTED]

I'm curious... If someone were to be caught doing criminal activities from this program, then could they get off free because the evidence was obtained illegally?

Do that here and you're unpatriotic. A lot of people give Turkish media shit for covering the protests over there negatively, but our media does the exact same thing in any protest (e.g. Occupy).

So would all of my Skype calls be like recorded and stored somewhere? If this is true I no longer have the ability to become a morally upright politician.
