The Raw Story | US drafting plan to allow government access to any email or Web search

"Ed Giorgio, who is working with McConnell on the plan, said that would mean giving the government the authority to examine the content of any e-mail, file transfer or Web search," author Lawrence Wright pens. “Google has records that could help in a cyber-investigation, he said," Wright adds. "Giorgio warned me, 'We have a saying in this business: ‘Privacy and security are a zero-sum game.'"
This guy needs to be fired. |

I've een reading about this and it is so distressing to me. But most Americans will say stuff like "I don't care, I don't do anything wrong." Never mind that I know of an incident in which homeland security was invoked to get access to a lady's email because her husband - a govt. agent - thought she was cheating on her. Oh, there's so much that this could really matter! Will the IRS be able to see all your transactions through, like, paypal now? They can if they can read your email. This opens all kinds of doors with really, really, bad, scary stuff behind them. Whoever is saying this should have to put all his online conversations and emails on a website for the WORLD to see. What? Say it doesn't work both ways? Woah! |
