My data is already bought and sold by companies. But when government agencies do it, suddenly we only need to stop them. Stop this madness. It shouldn’t matter if it’s corporations or a government, why not stop the sale of people’s data?

      then maybe you should limit your ‘chilling effect’ replies as to not damp down the fervor for change that is starting to develop in response to government overreach.

      Arguing that it isn’t unconstitutional isn’t productive if you want to see it changed.

      You don’t have to be a Devil’s Advocate for bad government policy.

        Maybe you should work on your chill, buddy, because I was asking a question. I don’t know if the SC has ever ruled on whether the government is allowed to purchase commercially available information without a warrant.

        I made no argument in favor of the practice. In fact, I went out of my way to state that I disagreed with the practice.

        But you’re well aware of that, aren’t you?

          I bet you think if you lick that boot good enough they won’t step on your neck with it.

          So fucking naive.

          Also I already reported your sockpuppets, enjoy the ban.
