This is more Patriot Act surveillance state fall-out...read the story, the Rat-contolled Congress passed the amendment that led to this and then Bush signed it.
Yahoo said in a statement that feds changed a law during the George W. Bush administration that allowed government to demand certain user data from online services provided by the company. Yahoo subsequently challenged that law change.
Meanwhile, the government plans to require fishing boats carry satellite tracking devices and video cameras to watch the nefarious activities of the crew.
and most of the media will ignore this as they always do.
The Obama Admin. has turned this country into a Banana republic......quickly on it’;s way to DICTATORSHIP!
“Don’t hate on us for what is essentially our business model, anyway. The feds made us do it. Yeah, that’s the ticket.”
I will begin utilizing my credits/debit cards less and less. Scrap the rewards cards.
This nonsense has gone on too long. The gubbamint will argue that in public, one does not have a reasonable expectation of privacy.
Well, why on earth do they argue this point then maintain THEIR privacy/anonymity so closely?
It's called CONTROL. We as citizens have the power to push back on all this...but will we? Will you?
Americans have a right to privacy even in the public square.
WHO GAVE THE ORDER? A federal official, obviously. That official needs to be identified and put high on the list for a near-future "accident". A few wannabee dictators having a run of bad luck might just clue in the rest that such behavior won't be tolerated.
