> The Internet: The United States government should not spy on its own citizens. That will not happen in a Trump administration. As for protecting the Internet, any attack on the Internet should be considered a provocative act that requires the utmost in protection and, at a minimum, a proportional response that identifies and then eliminates threats to our Internet infrastructure.
from buzzfeed(o):
> Trump told CNN during a debate that he would “penetrate the internet” to prevent ISIS from using it to recruit fighters and “close down parts of the internet.” Trump has, at times, expressed an interest in enhancing surveillance of Americans, saying at times that government should be tasked with with monitoring mosques and that police should create “demographics units.”
“We ought to start [surveillance] up again, and we ought to start it up this morning,” he told the Breitbart News Daily radio show last year.

- micaksica 10y agoWhile I'm not here defending Trump, I expect to see a lot of the debate vitriol get completely reversed by Trump's advisers now that he actually has the Oval Office. I find this one scary as well, but I will wait and see just where they go with this now that they have their "mandate". That said, it is likely to see sanctioned, commonplace profiling of minorities in a Trump administration. Rudy Giuliani seems to be one of his closer domestic crime advisers, and it is Giuliani that hired Bratton for the "zero tolerance" Terry stops (ie "stop and frisk") in NYC.
