Because the government can and will use circumstantial evidence to target certain minority groups.

If you're afraid of what u say on the Internet then u are failing at the Internet. Now I am failing more at the Internet then I used to, so in conclusion not having a place I where free fuckin speech is not totally ok kinda sucks a big fat western popsicle.


How has it abused this authority? It sounds like you're just being paranoid.

I value my privacy and don't want you shitstains collecting my every keystroke thanks.


Nobody wants your keystrokes, stop being conceited, but if you're a criminal the government has every right to get a warrant and then access your phone records which they conveniently kept on file.

It's not about conceit. I don't want someone barging into my room, it doesn't matter if I'm jerking off or not.

question, how come the government can spy on citizens but citizens can't spy on the government?

if the government says law abiding citizens have nothing to worry about how come there are classified information?

how could this possibly harm Americans who aren't actively breaking the law?


How could a peeping Tom cause any harm if you aren't doing anything wrong in the privacy of your own home? Let's legalize peeping Toms.

MySpace is pretty dead, I don't think Tom is coming back.

What you do online isn't private. Next.

I see a real risk to letting a peeping Tom do that, actually, and it's a terrible analogy to compare a peeping Tom to the government.

That is your problem, if you want to use the internet privately it is well within your means to do so, there isn't anyone stopping you from doing it.

Yeah I can take my internet experience back to 1993's 28kbps speeds by using a thousand proxies. I'm sure you wouldn't want someone looming over you in real life recording every word you say, this isn't far off.

Keep it PC, wouldn't want to get flagged.
