Mozilla is taking a poll on that and other relavent questions. And there is a petition to sign. I think they will get a lot of signatures.

Not only is it cellphones but wired phone collection and taking pictures of the back and front of all mail received!

 

No wonder I do not want to call, write or email anyone to discuss anything I feel is personal.

Signed petition (for all the good it will do).

So, let's say the GOV (some branch thereof) decides that it's wrong/illegal for the NSA to collect data on private citizens without any justifiable cause or court permissions. And then, let's say that the NSA promises to abide by the ruling and stop any and all such surveillance.

 

DO WE REALLY BELIEVE THEM?

 

This is our conundrum. :(

They actually did the other week:

FF Case Analysis: Appeals Court Rules NSA Phone Records Dragnet is Illegal

 

We now have the first decision from a court of appeals on the NSA’s mass surveillance program involving bulk collection of telephone records under Section 215 of the Patriot Act, and it’s a doozy. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued an opinion in ACLU v. Clapper holding that the NSA’s telephone records program went far beyond what Congress authorized when it passed Section 215 of the Patriot Act in 2001. The court completely rejected the government’s secret reinterpretation of Section 215 that has served as the basis for the telephone records collection program. EFF filed amicus briefs in this case in both the district and circuit courts, and we congratulate our colleagues at the ACLU on this significant victory.

 

The Second Circuit’s opinion stands as a clear sign that the courts are ready to step in and rule that mass surveillance is illegal. As we’ll discuss in a future post, it also marks a significant change in the context of the ongoing legislative debate in Congress about these issues. Above all, it is clear that Congress must do more to rein in dragnet surveillance by the NSA.

This post explains some highlights of the opinion. .....

That said, does anyone actually believe that that will stop them at all.

Half empty or half full?

But I never was one to go belly up. So...

Part of some tactics is disinformation. That or discrediting information through humor. :hysterical:

Even if the phone tapping stop's there's still malware implant's Etc.....

But most of the public will forget about it. When the story get's old. Oh look a butterfly!!! LOL.

No really I think education is the answer. And going back to when the internet started.

Ya before wired hacked jpegs and made it possible the see pictures online.

When we all looked out for each other. And security of the net.

Because if most people dont educate them selves, and take care of security issues.

Guess who is going to step in and do it for them.

And all in the name of protecting our freedom.
