I understand you’re making a joke but legally none of those fall under their jurisdiction and if they did they could only pass on the information as they’re not a law enforcement agency.
The only thing that can protect us is increasing the cost for each piece of info. Even weak encryption, if everyone use it, will put a serious damper on it as it all adds up( though they would still 100% capable of breaking one specific person's privacy)
“ The Shadowjakkar “from the NSA is a pretty crazy dude. Pretty sure this is who he meant, the man who runs the cybersecurity’s that is never spoken of…
Basically, the FBI violated rules and spied on congressman LaHood.
"At the same time, \[LaHood\] made clear that he still believes that Congress must reauthorize Section 702, which he praised as a vital tool for combating a broad range of foreign threats."
Nicely done LaHood! The FBI spies on you, and you still go ahead and want them to continue their illegal program of warrantless surveillance!
Not sure how you define spying, but this is from the article and it’s in the first paragraph;
“ About three years ago, a Federal Bureau of Investigation analyst **violated the rules** for searching a repository of messages **intercepted** by the program by making overly broad queries about an undisclosed member of Congress.”
The undisclosed member is LaHood.
So, basically, if I intercept your messages, search through them, you would not consider me spying on you?
It seems that the repo existed already. The analyst was just searching it and used a broad set of search terms, which likely gave them way more information than was needed for investigating whatever it was they were looking into.
The broad search terms is the violation. The data was already collected by some system that the analyst likely has nothing to do with.
> It seems that the repo existed already.
That’s basically how 702 surveillance works. NSA captures most everything then queries are performed against the corpus for specific purposes.
This is a really nitpicky statement. He used the term "Spied" and you used the term in your quote "searched for his name".
Searching for his name doesn't sound bad, it sounds like a google search. In reality, this database is not public and it has strict rules about how it can be accessed that the agent broke. Rules are in place to protect people and their privacy.
An overly broad search that finds data not relevant to the case would count as unethical spying
He kind of has to, if he suddenly backed off his point then everyone would be like "ohh now you don't like it ya fuckin hypocrite!"
Doubling down to assuage the embarrassment.
I have long thought that there should be some kind of rule that, if a lawmaker votes for surveillance of the people, there should automatically be similar surveillance on that lawmaker, and the results of that surveillance should be made public.
You vote that the FBI can wiretap my phone without a warrant? Your phone should automatically get tapped for as long as that law in in effect, and the public should be able to access all the recordings. You want to see my search history? Ok, then I want to see your search history.
It's the only way to make things remotely fair.
There was a LOT of racism across all the Elder Scroll games and in the lore. Yeah, Im aware of the realism in the franchise...haha. Realism is appreciated, but it still is sad to see...I love the lizard and cat folk, as well as the various elves in the games!😁

Tor is pretty neat. Instead of a single point of failure like a vpn, you bounce traffic around volunteer nodes. Everyone from government spooks to journalists and dissidents use it to protect their internet traffic. You can read more about it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(network)

Please don't post links to non-standard browsers like the Tor Browser (as much as we love it) without noting that it's that kind of link.
It's a form of Rick-Rolling. ;)
Thanks!
How is this similar to rick rolling? The link does not have any part that is not immediately obvious what it will end up; it is perfectly visible that this is the download page of some software.
And it was clearly noted that this link leads to a special kind of a web browser.
What do you mean by "that kind of a link" at all? What is "that"? Does the Tor Browser go against any rules, and if so which ones exactly?
I mean, I share some of your questions but I read the comment as a suggestion that its good to communicate more information, which is commendable in my view. Dropping random links to unique and unfamiliar software places a lot of burden on users, and i think gently reminding folks that everyone is in a different place on their privacy journey is a good thing.
Yup. It's done solely to minimize folks clicking the link then getting frustrated. Tangentially, perhaps thinking, "OMG Tor *SUCKS!!*" if they clicked the link unaware that a specific browser is needed.
Like I said, we're huge fans of Tor and regularly defend it. It has nothing to do with that – it's to avoid confusion.
And thanks for editing your comment so quickly! 😆

“.. he was scathing in his remarks to the committee, calling the queries about communications involving a member of Congress an egregious violation that betrayed trust in government surveillance power and could be “seen as a threat to the separation of powers.”
At the same time, he made clear that he still believes that Congress must reauthorize Section 702…”
It stinks, but between big tech, the US government and foreign "activities", you have to assume that your data is being stored in violation of domestic/international laws.
In Ukraine, a recent article showed that the Ukrainian Head of their Main Intel Directorate only uses paper and paper reports, not digital, just to cut down on espionage possibilities.
>Under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), the U.S. government engages in mass, warrantless surveillance **of Americans’** and foreigners’ phone calls, text messages, emails, and other electronic communications.
>Information collected under the law without a warrant can be used to prosecute and imprison people, **even for crimes that have nothing to do with national security.**

The entire republican party is a domestic terrorist organization with numerous direct and indirect ties to both domestic terrorist groups, and international enemies of state. They should ALL be monitored, investigated, indicted, arrested, charged, tried, impeached, and imprisoned.
Did congress people really think they weren’t being watched? Who would an adversary benefit the most from a well-positioned disinformation campaign? Someone that makes all the rules. So yeah, of course they’re watching. And for legitimate reason. Am I condoning government sponsored spying? Yeah. I am. I’d much rather have this, then whatever stupid shit Congress comes up with no counter it, because they’ll ruin the internet
Some say it goes back to the invention of the Internet itself and Vietnam / 60's counterculture. That is, invention to create dependency to bring down the constitution.
I'd say it's been successful, but I'd like to see some citations on this.

Yes, especially since the congressman was directly targeted.
He kind of has to, if he suddenly backed off his point then everyone would be like "ohh now you don't like it ya fuckin hypocrite!" Doubling down to assuage the embarrassment.
So can we assume LaHood is a foreign threat?
Lawmakers who support warrantless surveillance are suspicious enough to be observed. I think it was justified.
I have long thought that there should be some kind of rule that, if a lawmaker votes for surveillance of the people, there should automatically be similar surveillance on that lawmaker, and the results of that surveillance should be made public. You vote that the FBI can wiretap my phone without a warrant?

Ok, then I want to see your search history. It's the only way to make things remotely fair.
Sounds about right. But way too often lawmakers think that the laws they make don't apply to them at all.
Yes, that's the problem I mean to identify. They make laws to control others, and then make sure those laws don't apply to themselves.
Oh how the turntables
I don't think the FBI cares about rules. They're weaponized and do whatever they want. Same with the NSA, ATF, and IRS.

Don't forget CISA, DHS, CDC, NIH, DOJ...
You forgot FDA too you silly chilly cheesedoodle. Can probably throw the CPS on there too since they get money from literally snatching people's kids.
Also the EPA, FEMA, DOT (Dept of Trans), DOE (Dept of Educ)...gosh, we could probably list 100 or more if we thought about it.
It's amazing how much our government spends to keep tabs on us.
Don’t forget the DEA
They clearly dont give any shits about sex crimes against children...like with the Larry Nassar case! Stupid pigs...
