Yeah but this is just like DRM- if they trusted you more than they trusted a terrorist, they'd understand that all this monitoring is useless. And what proof is really even there that people planning terrorist attacks plan them through facebook? Or what kind of search behavior a terrorist will have?
And of course there's the part that the government doesn't respect our privacy or dignity. Why live in a ''free'' country if everything you say and do is being monitored for ''dangerous'' material?
And now that this has passed, and we aren't angry, won't they bundle other stuff in this as well? What if today the US gets spying in a budget pill and tomorrow all countries get free speech censorship through a similar move?
Its like SecureROM when you think about it. They put in malicious stuff in something that wasn't supposed to have it.
MaGo72: Well at least Clapper would not have had resort to "lie" about the fact that the NSA collects broadly data on united states citizens, instead he just could have said, "No, we do not need to that, private corporations collect the data and hand it to us if something seems suspicious."
Yup that is the worst part.
Don't forget these are the same hipsters who run Google Ideas and erase ''hate speech'' from their social networks. And have a penchant for sensationalism. What really won't be ''suspicious'' in their eyes?
