Strange that Snowden, of all people, is assuming the NSA is waiting for this bill to pass to do this stuff rather than them having done it for a very long time already.
Does he really think the NSA isn't already spying on people through things like public wifi?
My understanding is this will make public operators liable to participate. Like, they have to have infrastructure in place to do the recording for the NSA.
Like, they could mandate back doors in all equipment.
Maybe they can reduce broadband prices then
😂
hahahahahahaahah
Can I still watch weird porn or no?
You can definitely still watch weird porn. Just know that you won't be the only one jerking off while you're doing it.
They could at least have the decency to do a video call so we can make eye contact while we climax. It's more wholesome that way.
yes. In fact there will be mandatory minimums with stiff penalties for noncompliance, pun intended.
How stiff?
Depends on the porn, I guess 🤷
Yes, but now it's going to be competitive multiplayer.
Gonna play ranked. Just hope I don't get placed in bronze :/
I guess the policy of the Company I work for, that we don't use any service hosted in the USA, is sticking around then.
The NSA couldn’t really work in the US before this, but they were free and encouraged to work in foreign countries. You should look up how the “five eyes” actually worked, and ECHELON before it: Your data stored overseas is fair game for the NSA. Inside the country they needed a secret warrant to nab it.
They collected everything from the US but pretended they could only search comms with at least one non-US party without a warrant (there were no technical barriers to this and Snowden even claimed it would be easy for a low level NSA agent to read the President's emails). Foreigners may be easier to search without a warrant at the NSA, but using services outside the US gives a greater chance your data isn't in their database to begin with.
Since these articles never seem to include the bill, this appears to be it: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-bill/7888
May I remind everyone of CALEA. Just in case your skim of the page makes you think it is only for phone/telecoms...
In the years since CALEA was passed it has been greatly expanded to include all VoIP and broadband Internet traffic.
Doesn't the government already do this with our cellphones since they pass through the cell towers?
What was the vote for this in the House called? Looking up my Congressman's votes but I see multiple FISA votes
