Warrantless Mass Surveillance... so hot right now
- Right now? Where have you been for the last two decades?
  
  I've been complaining about it the whole time, were you not listening?
  It's hot right now, and it was before too
The DHS is a shameful boondoggle and should not be.
Sounds like time for a bot army.
This is the DHS we're talking about, after all. The dregs of the 3-letter agencies, you could probably fool them with an old iPad and a 6 year old randomly pasting comments around.
Everything keeps getting more and more dystopian.
Who's ready for the flight risk category 👋👋
What does Toothless have to do with the DHS?
I’m actually fine with this. It’s essentially reading through information made publicly available by the users themselves and determining if they are a threat based on that information.
This is literally what we want. This isn’t surveillance of private data, this is watching what people themselves put into the public.
- This isn’t surveillance of private data
  Yet
  
  That’s the line we draw. Digging into people’s private data in the name of security is inherently an invasion of privacy. This is… looking at public information.
Sounds like the moral score of China
