pathetic.... why does the gov't think it has the right to jsut go and do things to our personal lives.... oh yeah, i remember now, cause not enough people stand up to it
the antiterrorism act... which is in the process of refiining, gives access to everything legally to all officials as long as they can justify it (which is as hard as saying..."they could be a terrorist") This means they can monitor your internet activity, log keystrokes, tap phones, enter your house without a warrant and search it, and many more things ALL LEGALLY. This article is the least of our worries.
Apathy is our biggest problem. If people let the gov't abuse a law, they will.
thats exactally what i was trying to say,
I'd like to the reaction of the public of any nation if the government opened every single letter or package (I'm talking about snail mail here) and examined the contents. Nobody would be able to hear for a month because of the noise from the public outcry. Personally I don't see any difference (besides the speed of coarse) between snail mail and email so why will any government be able to get away with this?
Jimbo2112 good post.
I think the ppl driving these things are not located at the front of the camel.
i think that people should stand up for there rights, but i have never been able to get a large enough group together to make a difference
What exactly is their justification for this? Why do government agencies need to be able to access it so quickly that they can't get a court order? Makes me glad I'm not in the US...

Now you're trying to get a group together?
Stranger things have happened.....
my point in that thread is that they already do that. my point in this thread is that the antiterrorism act is alot more extreme then that. and besides i never said that we shouldn;'t stand up for our rights. i said that we didn't have that many rightsQuote:

as for the group... my point was i was trying to convince people to stand up, make their voices heard collectively... instead of sitting on their asses and just talking about how bad things are. sorry if i was unclear.Quote:

ppl should make their views heard, but too many are complacent it seems.
in reality we dont have many rights.. everything we do is subject to a rule or regulation EVERYTHING
privacy is an illusion - the gov is going to keep pushing it till every person's life is storred in a handy lil file for recall any time they fell like it - you want be able to take a crap without them knowing its size/shape/color/density :(
