Shit you post on BG isn't private dawg. You don't own the webs, other motherfuckers do.

It's more to the fact that if you don't want your information monitored, there are ways to protect yourself and your data. As stated above, this was being done before the NSA got into it. Google can most likely tell half world what they will buy next before they do. These are the people that don't care, because they know how to protect themselves and they also know it won't matter in the end. Most of this information is freely given because people are too retarded to understand what they are doing, and even with protection in place most data can be found on facebook. Welcome to the generation that doesn't give two shits, and will post anything and everything in the hopes of being someone important.
You're right guys. It's been done before. Everybody does it.
So it's ok.
Santa hasn't been real since 19th century. Stop the presses.
There is a very big difference between a company mining your data and the government doing so. One of these entities has the power to indefinitely detain you without due process of law. Hint: it's not the company.
inb4 "nothing to hide" argument.
edit: Allah President Fire 9/11 Victory. Fuck the police (state).
Feel free to go through my phone, all you're gonna find is dick picks I send to fat chicks anyway, good luck assholes.
I'd much rather a law enforcement agency have access to information than the private sector, that's for damn sure. At least with the gov you know they're siphoning out the bullshit and only checking flagged words, 'cause they really don't give a shit what your super secret ingredient is for your moms trifle. The private sector can make bank off every sentence you type.
I really don't care if they're watching as long as they're not a) selling my info and b) doing it with a warrant with full disclosure when necessary.
Either you're offended on principle, your you have something to hide. In terms of what I imagine is being done with this data by the NSA... I doubt they're going to knock down your door for that text you sent about buying weed.
It iis definitely concerning in that it would start to get real muddy if it happened on the state and local law enforcement levels. But I can see the other side of this too.
What you don't get is that they've been doing it all along. This is just the official "Oh hai, we saw all your emails."
Privacy vs. the government is a lie. You use the Internet, Big Brother has an eye on you, and the only reason there's no response is because whatever you're doing, they don't give a shit about at the moment. Not only that, it's multiple governments, all of them doing their best to tap into and process as much of that information as possible.
I mean, c'mon. The Net started as a military network. Like folks haven't been busily reading whatever the fuck they want, whenever they want with gov't sanctioning since ARPANET? And you think your "rights" are going to stop them? That's funny.
I'm offended on principle really. I want them to go through the proper channels of getting warrants to search through information, and not everything. Like I said, I do fuck all on the internet anymore, but it's also not just the internet but phone records/recordings, text messages, VOIP, facetime/skype. That's concerning. The fact that they're doing this without warrant or using a sweeping ruling means that they treat innocent people as suspects, and it wouldn't be okay if it was physical searches, but more people are apathetic because it's the internet.
having some spooks know i spent 45 minutes last night looking for the hoopz sex tape is a small price to pay to prevent the next 9/11
