We can finally end warrantless surveillance in the US

We can&#x27;t, the technical capability ensures it will be used. The ONLY option is to ditch most Internet use, go back to pre-backdoored hardware, do everything over Tor or i2p, and basically force the surveillance state to manually stake people out with actual field agents, which is so expensive that it&#x27;s basically impossible to do at any scale.<p>As long as people insist on carrying a gov-corp tracker pod with them everywhere they go, and plug in listening devices throughout their homes, the nightmare will continue.

Making it illegal won’t change anything, they are already illegally gathering info on us. My comment history has plenty of references, I’m honestly exhausted how often I have to share that info

One form of warrantless surveillance persists and expands: warrantless financial surveillance, euphemized as KYC&#x2F;AML&#x2F;CTF laws.

&gt; We can finally end warrantless surveillance in the US<p>&gt; Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) allows the US government to spy on foreigners while also sweeping up “incidental” communications of its own citizens.<p>Haha, this guy is joking. The US spies on its own citizens with or without the Section 702. He references the Snowden revelations so he should know that.

Would be great if you guys also extended this to all non-US citizens.

Here&#x27;s a faster fix: Simply repeal the U.S.A.P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act.
