Do you not believe in your right to privacy? Or put another way, do you believe the government should know all your private conversations?
- paulcole 4y agoI don’t believe the government should know all my private conversations without due process. But I also don’t believe my in-game chat is a private conversation.
- tastyfreeze 4y agoA communication service provided by a company is no different than a room in a physical building. The government cannot "bug" a privately owned room without a warrant. Tech companies have granted the government freedom to "bug" all of their digital rooms. I long ago gave up on the idea that online communication is ever private. The FBI started recording all internet traffic in 1997 with Carnivore after all. But I do believe it should be private and require a warrant for the government to see. There are just too many bad things that can come from government monitoring all communications. The government shouldn't get a pass just because we haven't quite figured out how our rights apply in a digital space.
