What would be the purpose of joining TIPS if not to rat on people? What other positions are there?
This is nothing more than a giant, federally run, nation wide organization for the purpose of rating on each other for the purpose of empowering the federal government and gaining more and more information on the 'subjects'.
That's exactly what they won't do. If only the ratters get involved, it will take on a life of its own and become the type of organization we don't want it to become.
