Every time a program like this is pushed through and people say that there are safeguards to prevent abuse, remember this. They claimed there were safeguards here too.
Always frustrates me when I hear about why we’re so much different to Russia/China because we have laws and safeguards. They mean shit
If it can be done, people will do it. If you think the FBI are unique in this, you’re very naive. We need to fundamentally rethink how our technology is designed if we ever hope to have any privacy again.
In 2021, for example, the FBI ran more than 3.3 million queries through the Section 702 database, according to a government transparency report.
3.3 million spies of the Patriot Act. It’s set to expire this year, but they’ll reauthorize it. No one is strong enough to throw the ring into the fire.

I wish they could catch all the traitors of the country who raided our capitol. Fucking idiots, all of them deserve jail. I hope they use FISA to find them and the foreign money as well. Most of crooks in the republican party have connections to foreign governments.
Edward Snowden sold out to Russia and their genocide.

I am a foreigner in the US so I don’t have any protection from spying anyways. Serves the US-americans right to be spied on as well.
