Elsie :" ‘Government May Not Secretly Install Surveillance’ on Devices
Of COURSE not!
> Twitter, Facebook, ticTac and many other 'companies' will do it for them! "

Exactly true !
When did we give any government permission to surveil the American population,
without knowledge, approval, or permission ?
Furthermore, the surveillance application on cell phones could not be easily found indicates their culpability.
Another personal infringement of Constitutional rights to privacy !

But how secretly do they need to surveil when people willingly vomit out all the unnecessary details of their lives on social media?

What a great bait and switch. Make it social media instead of forced compliance, which everyone would balk at, and people’s lives are open books.
