This is exceptionally bad. I had VPN setup to access my home network, and every major corporation in the world has VPN for their workers. The idea that law enforcement can legally hack into anyone’s network just by virtue of running a VPN is beyond dangerous, it’s criminal.
Ryan will do nothing about this.
I wonder how he would feel if Voters dug thru his personal files with the same vigor he wants the DOJ to dig thru our files.
BUMP AND LIGHT UP THE DC SWITCHBOARD PING!
*US gov’t spying is going to further chase int’l business / jobs away from the US due to privacy / data sovereignty concerns.
NSA data surveillance Snowden revelations has created a BIG mess of US - foreign data transaction law, and cost US businesses many millions in lost sales.
US gov’t idiots consistently fail to take action against terrorists that they have ample information on.
RE: “Sounds like this one might be worth some screaming about.”
And, yes, once again no one in authority gives a rat’s ass about the provisions of the Bill of Rights.
Only Screaming? I think this sounds more appropriate.
I suspect they won't until ignoring those provisions results in their loss of job (and entitlements; i.e. retirement) and/or life.
I’ve decided the only solution to stop these bastards is to dismantle all the existing intelligence agencies and pass legislation that any new agencies will operate under an elected civilian review board.
Congressional oversight is useless, and appointed civilian oversight is just in the pockets of whoever appointed them. We need dedicated representatives who are solely accountable to the people, and whose only job is to make sure intelligence agencies are not violating the bill of rights.
Need to go to court and have the new “rule” struck down as an unconstitutional “rule” - direct violation of the 4th Amendment.
If you’re not doing anything wrong you should have nothing to worry about.
Bump for later.
The proposed legislation would give the FED.gov a license to commit a crime - namely : Burlary , Breaking and Electronicly Entering,
While this may seem innocuous, it gives them authority not just to 'snoop and poop'
it also affords them the opportunity to plant evidence of wrong-doing to further their case against someone, without thier knowldge or consent.
You may feel that there is nothing wrong with this action in order to keep us safe , what happens when there is a change in administration ?
This electronic history could provide false documentation for a 'purge' of those who don't think like the current administration.
This request from an administration that already doesn't know the meaning of 'staying within the letter of the law', and has been cited for intolerable "Overreach" !!
I wonder how many of the privacy intrusions we would be asked to put up with if we didn’t have Muslims in the U.S.
Are these privacy breaches and having our daughters felt up at airports and the billions spent on law enforcement and the loss of heritage worth the benefit of being able to proudly claim we are “multi-cultural”?
bkmk
Your tech pings would seem to be appropriate here.... TIA
Yep, this is a bad one for sure.

Wow. Thanks for the info
It sounds like the government KNOWS that virtually all of our computers have wide-open back doors for government spying.
And they want to SEIZE them just for trying to maintain anonymity!
