What really gets me with these types of "safety" proposals is that we already have quite some ways to get someone's private information and communication if they are being investigated. Has everyone forgotten that? All that these wide reaching laws do is to allow for governments to investigate without substantiated reasons.
- tonetegeatinst 2y agoYep, same thing in most countries. Their exists a legal method to do it if they can get a warrant.... Or a FISA court order.....or a National Security Letter....or they can get around the need for this via just paying some data company or the company to access your data....

- dleeftink 2y agoKeen to read a source on this, as this would be valuable to bring up whenever new data harvesting measures are on the table.

- wizzwizz4 2y agoSame way it works if you're posting letters: the powers-that-be apply for a warrant to search for evidence.
