einfach_orangensaft ( @einfach_orangensaft@feddit.de ) 37•1 year agoi am quite sure such programs allready exists for a long time.
everything you do on servers owned by american companys will get u scored.
the nsa has a folder for allmost every human who ever used the internet, and doing certain things will rank u up in score.
Once your score reaches a critical high, human may check your folder to see if u are just a courios child searching for diy fireworks or a potential terrorist.
If that human sees the remote chance that u are the second type, they then keep close taps on you.
And if they see u buying sketchy shit then may come to your door to check up on you.
Google once had the motto: “dont be evil”.
People need to realize…they where not talking about themself.
Chaotic Entropy ( @ChaoticEntropy@feddit.uk ) 8•1 year agoJust remember to Google the occasional obedient remark.
“Why am I so gosh darn patriotic?”
“Is it normal to never want to hurt the USA?”
i just paste whole movie subtitles into search line by line with a script…giving the NSA check person some culture.
Fun fact: after doing this for a few years u get plausible deniability cause everything u say could just have been another movie quote

Why would anyone use Google after this precedent?

This was against Google specifically but I would imagine it would hold up against any US based search engine they felt someone was using. detalferous ( @detalferous@lemm.ee ) 3•1 year agoRight, they must respond to a subpoena. But they don’t retain search records, do they?
Possibly linux ( @possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip ) English1•1 year agoI think all search engines have this issue since law enforcement can step in any time.
The one exception might be proxy searches
Phoenixz ( @phoenixz@lemmy.ca ) 8•1 year agoI’m a computer engineer with over 30 years of experience. If I’d want to be a terrorist, they can Monitor google, and they wouldn’t find me. They can decrypt WhatsApp and a few others and they’d still not find me. They wouldn’t be able to find anyone halfway capable.
What they WOULD find is a lot of people just going about their day.
Makes you wonder who they’re trying to target with all this shit.
Banning encryption won’t stop child porn, not even a little bit
Monitoring google won’t stop terrorism (or child porn) not even a little bit
Can we please Please PLEASE make a law that requires politicians to know what they’re taking about? If a politician votes about banning encryption, he either know what it does and why it works or if he doesn’t know, he.doesnt get to vote.
