If they put cameras in your bathroom and you are not aware, your privacy wasn’t violated.

This was the Chairman of the US Intelligence Committee

    So what I’m hearing is that theft doesn’t exist if no one is caught. Right? Supermarket chains etc. complaining of theft from any source other than recovered goods from said theft should be null and void.

    If they put cameras in your bathroom and you are not aware, your privacy wasn’t violated.

    There’s a reason they own all the major operating systems, messaging apps, social media platforms, cloud infrastructure and spy agencies.

    There’s always going to be some deliberate loopholes and exploits in or between the supply-chain to get to you when you’re inside their ecosystem.

    But some companies promise you’re “secure” and “private” if you use one of their expensive, shiny offerings. They swear it on their marketing, ads and PR releases.

    It’s that comfy feels of paying more for a false sense of privacy and security that matters.

    tldr; Use Linux and open source.

    The American intelligence apparatuses had been using this line of reasoning to legalize their illegal operations from the start: computers collecting data on citizens are not being ‘surveilled’. If a human needs to assess that data then they apply for a rubber stamp, but for the computer to collect and asses? There was never a need to seek authorization: it’s not surveillance. Computers collecting data and autonomously acting on that data–even to kill–can never be illegal. Welcome to the United State of Ammerikkka.

    That’s to say: it never mattered. The verbal affluent to legitimize what they’re doing is just that.

      To a Republican? The answer is a resounding yes!

      And if it is discovered, it is the fault of the person discovering obviously.

    Hey look, yet another GQP talking point that boils down to not understanding (or willfully dismissing) the idea of consent. Rapists one and all.

    If I kill someone without them noticing I would not be a murderer by that logic.

    People in the US have less privacy rights than Chinese people. They have the amount of privacy that corporations permits.
