Re: Big brother's listening in
 

yeah, but did yo hear that the FBI had their tapped lines disconnected becuase they didn't pay their bill?! what kind of protection is that?!

Re: Big brother's listening in
 

Scott, where did you see this applies only to foreign companies? It applies to anyone, and the shitty thing is they were doing it when they knew it was against the law, hence the retroactive immunity. Fucken scumbags.

Re: Big brother's listening in
 

you think they dont do that whenever they want already?

Re: Big brother's listening in
 

they say it only applies to foreign communications that go through the US. like most emails/internet stuff/etc...

Re: Big brother's listening in
 

And we all trust what they say. :P The things they claim they are listening to are filtered from ALL communications.

Re: Big brother's listening in
 

yea.

the government has always spied on non us communications. those people have no rights. its just different now that their communications passes through the US.

lol, john mccain voted yes on this bill.

it still has to pass the house to actually become law, says that any surveillance that involves an american requires a warrant ( from the fisa court which apparently approves all requests but noone knows because its all secret "national security" ----)

its funny how they keep saying the wiretapping program is perfectly legal and yet they are trying to push this bill through to make it legal and retroactive, I mean ---- just bust me in the face and take my damn wallet already, just stop pretending everything is hunky dory, its not like anyone will do anything about it anyway.
