"What's changing is that technologies that dramatically raise the cost of investigating those crimes are now the default."
Do you really think so?
Last time I checked, facebook made really really easy to investigate the live of everyone as never before. I'm not the one that says that, the FBI chief officers said that.
Last time I checked, there are cameras anywhere in the cities, from banks and shops to circulation plates readers with days of video buffers, so if something bad happens(terrorism) they have more information(and less cost) than ever before.
Last time I checked, they store your telephone tower triangulation information that stores when you were at what time.
They even can analogize all telephone communications of the entire country on real time, store them on a hard drive, and transcribe it for easy searching.
Today this people have more information than ever, but of course, they want more because they want to control everybody.
Terrorism and children protection has become the wild card they use to break the freedom of the people, convert us in the serves and making them the masters ( I got to meet the TSA people).

Note that some Facebook investors have professional relationships with the management of In-Q-Tel, a nonprofit VC firm created by the CIA in 1999.

- aidenn0 15y agoI have a friend who is a cop, and on slow days they just browse through the facebook pages of suspects. People regularly publicly post pictures of themselves breaking laws. A paroled felon posted a picture of himself holding a rifle as his _profile picture_ (in the US it is illegal for any convicted felon to posses a firearm).
- dennisgorelik 15y agoWouldn't it be legal for him to hold his friend's gun?
- ovi256 15y agoPresumption of innocence doesn't apply to criminals now, does it ?
- jeffdavis 15y agoWhat are you objecting to, exactly? There's no indication that the police would bypass the judicial system in this case. I would assume they would knock on his door and ask him about it. If they still thought a crime occurred, they'd make an arrest, and then proceed through the system as usual.
- andrewpi 15y agoNo. The law prohibits possession of firearms by felons, not just ownership.
- brown9-2 15y agoWho is "they" here? The subject of the pronoun seems to shift with each sentence.
