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

[jakez]

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

hahahha

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.

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.

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.

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..
