She's not talking about Trump here other than just an example of a much larger problem. Keep your TDS in the relevant threads.

It occured to me that gargantuan NSA database can not only be used to fabricate a case against anyone, it would also be very useful for blackmail.

I wonder if they have some of Epstein's material. I'll bet they have Hillary's "private server" emails, seeing as they were bcc'd internationally to some Chinese email addy.

Yup. That 10 terabyte external hard drive you got on black friday?

Easily backed up along with everybody else's on the alphabet agencies 10 yottabyte server, along with every phone call and email ever sent and any conversation that has ever been had near a device with Siri, Alexa or Cortana.

They're not "watching" you, per se... but everything has been cataloged in case you ever become a person of interest.



Anybody ever wonder why your upload transfer rate is only about 1/10th of the download rate you pay for when there's absolutely no real reason for that to be the case? Seems pretty self explanatory when you think about it.

Just hours after a secret meeting with Silicon Valley tech giants to discuss censorship of "misinformation" surrounding coronavirus, and just days before Julian Assange's extradition hearings are set to continue, Kristin Hrafnsson - a WikiLeaks' journalist - reports that the WikiLeaks' Twitter account has been locked-down...

WikiLeaks twitter account has been locked, shortly before Assange extradition hearing. All attempts to get it reopened via regular channels have been unsuccessful. It has been impossible to reach a human at twitter to resolve the issue. Can someone fix this?@twittersupport @jack

It is not the first time Twitter has - allegedly - acted to suppress WikiLeaks voice.

The United States of Surveillance


After Rite Aid secretly deployed facial recognition software in 200 stores, NOW, perhaps, the US Congress will step in to address egregious surveillance ... at least when it comes to facial recognition software deployed by businesses.

How Big Tech created a data ‘treasure trove’ for police

PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — When U.S. law enforcement officials need to cast a wide net for information, they’re increasingly turning to the vast digital ponds of personal data created by Big Tech companies via the devices and online services that have hooked billions of people around the world.

Data compiled by four of the biggest tech companies shows that law enforcement requests for user information — phone calls, emails, texts, photos, shopping histories, driving routes and more — have more than tripled in the U.S. since 2015. Police are also increasingly savvy about covering their tracks so as not to alert suspects of their interest.

Not only has it become far easier for police to trace the online trails left by suspects, they can also frequently hide their requests by obtaining gag orders from judges and magistrates. Those orders block Big Tech companies from notifying the target of a subpoena or warrant of law enforcement’s interest in their information — contrary to the companies’ stated policies.

Apple in 2018 shared phone and account data generated by two Democratic members of the House Intelligence Committee, but the politicians didn’t find out until May, once a series of gag orders expired. Microsoft also shared data about a congressional aide and had to wait more than two years before telling that person.

Law enforcement can also ask tech companies to preserve any data generated by a particular user, which prevents the target from deleting it. Doing so doesn’t require a search warrant or any judicial oversight, said Armin Tadayon, a cybersecurity associate at advisory firm the Brunswick Group.

Brad Smith, Microsoft’s president, last week called for an end to the overuse of secret gag orders, arguing in a Washington Post opinion piece that “prosecutors too often are exploiting technology to abuse our fundamental freedoms.”

Just listened to a show that explained Palantir is running the UN Global Digital ID 4D, which we will all be required to abide by, a copy of China's societal quotient status control. So our bank account will be directly altered based upon our activities, Constitutional Rights be damned.

I'm sure they will have an "unbiased" Ministry of Truth Monitor.
