What's stopping big brother from tapping our internet connection?

I thought there were like keyword triggers that flagged the monitoring systems or something like that...dunno I was high when I was reading about it LOL...

as of Goerge w Bush the word privacy has been basically removed from the english vocabulary, our goverment is good, but they are fucking fuckers

What the government is doing is illegal. They must have a warrant to do a tap or to get ISP records.

I'm sure I'm being watched by the gov. I have a habit of looking up controversial topics, and digging to find things on the internet most would frown upon... I used to have the documents for how to make a pipe bomb simply because I stumbled across them on a page before the FBI shut it down.

EDIT: I would never put those plans to use to make one and cause harm, I just thought they were interesting to read through.

If anything of mine was tapped i'd have been arrested years ago - and i'd still be in prison.

I'd tap that... TWO times...

*sexytime*

lol. The government is not god. The government is a legal entity compromised by people.

See, the government doesn't collect taxes for nothing. They have to pay for these people. The cost of one analyst to interpret it, overhead costs, which includes the IT team monitoring servers.....I'd imagine it to be 50-60/hr worth of labor & material costs.

Sure, there out there monitoring, but they can't monitor everyone. It's fiscally impossible.

Nothing is stopping anyone, and we have the Patriot Act to thank, or rather 9/11 I guess. I've been doing a lot of research about the whole attack, and I have found that there still isn't really a credible explanation for Building 7, molten metal, or the presence of sulphur and thermite found on one of the beams. Steven Jones, a physics professor from BYU, is still trying to do the tests to find out how many beams he found it on to see if it was a big deal, but unfortunately, its pretty impossible to get a hold of any of materials anymore. Also, if a airliner jet really DID hit the Pentagon, why not release the tape and prove it? I don't believe we'll ever have the answer to any of those questions, and will be forced to accept the official answer, but I think the Project for the New American Century is well on its way to becoming a reality. Read all about it:

Project for the New American Century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

i really dont give a fuck. im a law abiding citizen (probably one of the few on here) and i have nothing to hide from the gov't, so what if some jerk off knows what kind of porn i look at or who im sending e-mail to.


if someone knowing what kind of porn i look at is the trade i have to make to make this country safer, well then in my opinion thats a small price to pay.

LOL are you serious? They are spending what $450 billion a year on the military, $50-60/hr are you kidding me, is that it? An algithorem(sp?) is entirely possible and most likely (unless there is a better method) correct. It's what Google was INVENTED ON YEEEAARSSSS ago. No offense seriously, but you obviously are spreading a lot of misinformation in this thread.

Yeah, let's let them keep taking away our privacy. Don't you realize the entire country is slowly become alerted and pissed off? Don't worry, eventually they will make it into your own privacy limits and you will become pissed off too..
