Today, the Colorado Supreme Court became the first state supreme court in the country to address the constitutionality of a keyword warrant—a digital dragnet tool that allows law enforcement to identify everyone who searched the internet for a specific term or phrase. In a weak and ultimately...

    i 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.

      Now you know not to search on Google regarding planned acts of terrorism against the establishment tyranny. But what the heck are you doing searching on Google anyway?

      We know that police and courts don’t believe in fourth amendment protections, especially when it comes to people they really want to convict. The problem is, when they justify illegally obtained evidence for child molesters and serial killers, then it’s easy to justify the same for illegal parkers in non-white neighborhoods, or persons protesting against law enforcement overreach.

      And that’s why the state of the US engages in the same indictments that are listed in the US Declaration of Independence.

        I’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.
