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

thcbongman, like I said, it is entirely possible to monitor people tracks online. You act as if there would be someone sitting at a computer watching other people on their computer remotely, of course that is probably impossible. You say you're using logic in your post but I fail to see any logic whatsoever, why would they literally watch what you do lol? That would be ridiculous, it's called technology bro.. think about it like this, they don't need a single person working monitoring this stuff until certain things are triggered through the filtering system. I've already watched videos of current FBI agents showing this technology to a room full of nerds so the point you're trying to make is pretty null.

Yeah, the technology is Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and in the case of hand-written documents Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR). I done testing on it to implement it for a database. I'm sure it's worse than the technology the CIA, and other intelligent agencies possesses, but I know it's far from perfect. Even in that case, it's doesn't recognize what the data is for. Raw data is useless without standardizing and reconciliation. That's why you need an analyst to interpret it.

Now, you are trying to say I said this isn't possible. I never said that. I said it's fiscally impossible to implement such a system to monitor 300 million Americans at once. Keep constant track of them adequately without anyone falling through the cracks. That's frickin' impossible.

Sure, they can collect a shitload of data, but what would exactly a big log of data do without human interpretation? It's not 24 where they type in someones name, and they have all the current information on that person. Data has to be collected, and reconciled consistently. I can imagine in the future, like 20 years from now, a computer would be able to fully reconcile data. Until then, you need analysts, quite a few of them, and they don't come cheap.
