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

They could tap in at your outside connection. Just slip a device inbetween the connections and they can get your data using a sniffer.

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.

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:

they dont read it they have a algarythem that finds certin things and certian converrsations. along with alot of people reading and listening to us every day, Its big buisiness and were all a bunch of sheep, unless your part of the big brother circle.

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.

where have you been the government does not need a reson for taping anything and we are constantly being monitored. Get used to it main we will never have privacy again.............cool name does it mean seller???

I thought common knowledge was just phone taps. I've never heard on new or any other source about it.

Vendico is Latin for "Avenger". At least that's what I looked up.

The ISP logs all data, so it technically is tapped.

BUT, who is going to spend years to read over those logs? nobody. Unless you're accused of doing something illegal online (child predators, planned terror attacks, mass drug sales, money laundering, etc), and I don't mean piracy. You shouldn't worry.
