I don't understand THAT statement. I'm pretty sure that the degree of privacy I expect from strangers is far greater than the one currently expected from the FBI or from any law enforcement agencies. I don't expect strangers to tail me or to run profile checks on me, much less call to try to get into my phone to check whether or not I'm really up to something funny.
- xapata 10y ago> I don't expect strangers to tail me. But you do expect that a stranger could tail you if they wanted to. You could sue that stranger for harassment and get a restraining order, just as you could sue law enforcement for the same thing. > privacy I expect from strangers is far greater than the one currently expected from the FBI The comment about strangers not tailing you suggests you care about de facto privacy, rather than de jure privacy (your right to privacy). In that case, if no one is investigating you, you have absolute privacy. If we're talking about your right to privacy, then I agree that the FBI should have only the same privilege that any citizen has, unless they obtain a warrant. Conversely, I argue that the FBI should be able to get a warrant to access any data that a citizen is legally able to share.
