AT&T Gave Feds 26 Years of Phone Calls

[teratos]

I am a law abiding citizen. The feds could read my e-mail, listen to my phone calls, open my mail. The only laws I violate are traffic laws. I still have a huge problem with this. It is nobody's business what I say or write or text. Our government is the "Big Brother" Orwell envisioned. It is the tyranny the Founder's feared.

Sooner or later I'm going to have to unplug from all this. Smart phones and Internet. Don't know how I'll do it since I depend on it so much. But I feel it's inevatible if I want to protect my privacy.

From the US Air Force extremism brainwashing (training) for equal opportunity officers:

"Nowadays, instead of dressing in sheets or publicly espousing hate messages, many extremists will talk of individual liberties, states’ rights, and how to make the world a better place. "

You are all a bunch of no-good-doer' extremists!!!!!

He shouldn't have a problem with it since he claims to have nothing to hide.
Since I don't keep any guns, drugs, or pressure cookers up my butt the government can anally probe me all they want. Whatever keeps 'Merica safe, right?

He didn't misspell "anal", he used the word "anally", the adjective form of "anal".

On the other hand, you misspelled "you're" as "your".

The Feds have for decades paid telecomms big money to keep their phone records for posterity, violating multiple state and federal laws in the process. Additionally, the Feds also have paid tech companies big money to delay or prohibit encryption protocols and secure email tools. This is no longer containable, as apps have been home-brewed for years now....but the FOJ sued the inventors of the PGP ( pretty good encryption) algorithms about 15-20 years ago with the pretext of national security because NSA could not break the algorithms.

Nothing you say on the phone, text on your device, send via email, or write on a blog is private my friends, nothing. So all those doomsday sayers and crazy tinfoil hatters we like to laugh at and denounce have been right all along...and are laughing at us now...Alex Jones anyone?

PGP and its cousin GPG are still fairly secure. Usually the encryption is not broken - the keys are compromised by getting password to the private key.

The problem is that you're encrypting the contents of the email, not the actual message, so it's completely susceptible to all the metadata collection going about.

It's why Groklaw shut down.

People seem to think email's like an envelope. It's more like a postcard. I've had to stop doing business with idiots on two occaisons that send unencrypted forms with my SSN typed into them.

I'm one of the few people I know using GPG.
