The bill in question is H.R. 7888: Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act: To reform the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act of 1978.
The concerning section of the text of the bill in question.
Elizabeth Goitein's claims are not correct as the amendment is more narrowly defined than she has claimed. But the amendment is still overly broad and an inappropriate overreach of government surveillance.
Elizabeth Goitein is Co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice.
FYI, the article got the date of the House vote incorrect (it was Friday April 12, not Saturday April 13).
If the NSA is just days away from taking over the internet, then I wonder what is holding them back from doing it now...
The NSA doesn't know if they want to give their AI unfettered access to the internet and its systems.
Judgement Day is upon us.
Anyone remember when China routed the whole internet through their country for like nine minutes?
I was curious and looked it up and apparently it was way longer than nine minutes (more like two and half years), if this is what you're referencing. Crazy.
I think they’re taking about accidental incidents like this one, but that is also a very interesting find.
I don't trust him ever since he sided with the Kremlin. Also what is this website...
He didn't side with the Kremlin he chose not to go back to the Land of the Free and be tried for being a whistleblower or worse. Self-preservation.
Once this bill passes, there is absolutely nothing stopping the NSA from doing an IP lookup on this comment/my account, and putting me into a "potential domestic terrorist - watch closer" list. A list that will eventually be used later, for some reason or another, so let's just hope we never get an authoritarian in the White House with stacked courts! That could never happen here, could it?
P.S. If you live in the US, just part of your connection going to another country (be it a CDN or server hosted in Canada, or US server gets overwhelmed and switches to Canada) - full content logs for you.
Cointelegraph is (was at least?) a reputable source for national security news. It's mainly for OSINT and national security interested folks who know better than to do the majority of their research on a smartphone, so it may not be great on mobile, I don't know.
Snowden chose Russia because the other option was life as a political prisoner without a chance at a fair trial. Egotist, sure, but at least we know what we know now. Can you imagine how fucked we'd be if he never leaked them?
And regardless of the source, (site or person quoted), what he's saying is absolutely true. The NSA is about to be able to gather ALL mass communications and look at them whenever, without a warrant which was the only safeguard before.
I'm legitimately about to throw my tech into a fucking dumpster and get a dumbphone and a smartphone with all hardware removed besides what's required by Briar.
Most will read this and think I'm being overly paranoid. When I talked about the FVEY (now 14EYES) surveillance dragnet before the Snowdon leaks, everyone thought the same.
Thanks for the info. A couple big assumptions in there without backing, but I think I understand why you're making them.
An uncomfortable perspective I've developed over the past few years is that some of these privacy sacrifices might allow the US government to more effectively counter malicious efforts from governments like the CCP and Kremlin who have no such restrictions. That said, I have no doubt they'll also be abused.
And, if passed, these tools will fall into the hands of the next president. We're in such a generic Tom Clancy script, it's boring.
Well, seeing as it's the NSA, they're likely doing this now but working for a more legal possibility.
If they can access your hardware now they fuckin will. They definitely aren't asking for permission... or forgiveness for that matter.
It's pretty fucked up how a community about privacy and all the comments are like "I don't believe him he's a russian asset"
One of these countries is the largest military superpower the world has ever seen, has invaded or meddled in countless countries around the world for their resources, and has one of if not the most expansive domestic surveillance system... and the other country is Russia.
Russia has it's own problems, but they're not the threat that the US is to the world.
Russian shill says what?
Can you elaborate? What did Snowden say in support of Russia? I must be out of the loop because I haven't heard.
He's speaking 'bad' of USA, and that's where tribalism kicks in.
You don't get Russian Citizenship, with a nod from pootie, unless you are a useful idiot or a tool.
Collect this article as NFT, wtf??? Sorry, I am not sure I can trust that site on anything now.
My immediate reaction was the same. I don’t trust the NSA at all, but I’m certainly not going to trust anything this site says when it’s shilling the article as an NFT.
OP actually posts a lot of sources, but it's probably a bot.
I have seen more than few accounts that soley post this website though. It's obvious all their articles are fearmongering to encourage crypto.
What does it even mean to collect it as an nft?!
Nothing, really.
It means you get a little certificate.
That says you own the article.
But you can't edit it.
But you can show it to your friends.
But not if the site is down.
And the resale is gonna be like, whoa~
Maybe $50 less than you paid for it.
But the sentimentality is worth it.
You should definitely get two.
Sorry about that, the headline was caught my attention while I was surfing.. You should ignore the crypto / nft thing
you got baited by the site, probably bullshit made for clicks
Left handed mouse in the background image is unusual.
Not for the men of culture...
