Both of these can have a chilling effect on free speech, therefore I'm against the CIA doing this to citizens. The potential threat against citizens nowhere near outweighs the need to uphold our constitution.
- mywittyname 8y agoI think we all agree that they shouldn't do this to American citizens. The problem is we can't isolate their capabilities to just foreign persons.
- saagarjha 8y agoWe could make doing this illegal and enforce it…
- village-idiot 8y agoUnfortunately, other nation states might not care about US laws. Which returns to the above statement that it’s better for the CIA and Apple to be in a security arms war than it is for Apple and the FSB, at least from the perspective of an American.
- TremendousJudge 8y agoAs a "foreign person", I'd rather like for no organization to come and record everything I do just because I wasn't born in a specific place. Ironically though, the average American citizen is probably under more CIA surveillance than the average foreign person such as myself.
- JustSomeNobody 8y agoI'd rather we didn't either. If we trust you enough to let you visit, work, whatever, then we should treat you respectfully.
