Obama Admin Wants to Allow Web Wiretapping

Nice to see people recognize this guy for who he is.
Slip a new skin on Bush and there you have it.
Well Obama comes with a lot of new taxes for struggling businesses, but pretty much there you have it.

Ah, hope and change huh, He failed to say the change was do not pass go, go directly to Socialism. If bush or any Republican was trying this NAZI crap the outcry from the Socialist left would be unbearable since every State run Media outlet would be running it 24-7,
Lits listen to a couple of them now like CNN, ABC, MSNBC. (Crickets chirping)
Enough said.

Wrong, Bush may have messed some stuff up but he actually loves this country, Obama does not not.

I'm sorry, but I have to call you complainers out. You cry and moan about things like this when the government does it, but you'll gladly tell Linda from India your social security number and credit card number when talking to some massive corporation that has something you want. Then they turn around and sell that information to spam mail companies.

Then the same people complaining about this will complain about law enforcement not being able to catch cyber-criminals.

You can't have your cake and eat it to. Either give up some privacy or have to live with rampant online crime.

It's just more of the "ZOMG teh guvment is evil...even though I vote for them...and they're technically made up of people like me"

That moronic thought is why thousands die without health insurance. Show me one instance in a country like England, who has cameras everywhere, where the government has done anything substantial to harm an innocent civilian. It's never happened.

I didn't know you were on speaking terms with Obama.

[citation][nom]L0tus[/nom]Gotta love these liberals prattling on about invasion of personal space as if it were some form of psychological trauma.Why don't we just suspend ALL forms of surveillance and then see how fast national security goes down the toilet.The problem with today's bleeding-heart liberal society is that there is no sense of responsibility. People have grown up vegetating in front of their PC screens and expect flawless security from the State minus the sacrifices that go with.[/citation]

What are you talking about? Conservatives are the ones with the "OMG the government is out to kill my mother and baby" attitude."

Remember that whole death panel thing?

I own a small business and have not had one tax increase or new tax. Your just spouting crap that was fed to you by Fox news.

Who said anything about trusting them?

Well.. it seems that people are starting to wake up.. Rep or Dem.. our government was not created to spy on its citizens!
Hopefully more people will get involved on what our government is and has been doing for quite some time now.. all in the name of security.
Please study up on the issues.. know who and what you are voting for.
Dont be fooled by slogans and commercials.. please get informed.. then go out and vote!
They work for us!

A necessary evil? I would be more scared of hackers than the governement with this. Since it's the internet, it will be easy for them to hack in let's say Facebook and use the monitor tool for their own deeds.

What happened to the days when this shit just got done. We didn't have to listen to whinny liberals bitch about their rights because they didn't know. (god forbid this system actually work and save some bloody lives for the sake of your porn surfing or downloading.) Black ops this stuff and just get it done!

My opinion: I guess you could say..you think this is scary, right? Now get ready for an even scarier thought: WHO is the driving force behind Obama - a public or private/corporate, interest? I think a lot of people already know the answer to that.

What next..'lawfully' snooping on private communications to extract words like "Obama sucks", then using this system to 'remove potential security threats'?

I feel sorry to the people who voted this individual in, I feel sorry for you because your Constitution is being desecrated by what I see as one of if the, biggest trojan horse scenario in the history of your nation..Obama is but the head of this beast; the belly shall devour. That's how I look at it, and it seems I am not alone either.

We might as well live in North Korea,Russia,Cuba and Americans criticize China.

I for one am willing to tolerate the odd bombing / terrorist attack if it means that I can retain my freedom. My privacy is worth the 0.0000001% chance of being killed by terrorists. What's the point in being safe if it comes at the cost of your freedom/privacy?

 

[Sabiancym]

You guys are all just paranoid and delusional. I don't have time to go through the many fallacies of "logic" going on in these replies.

Encryption alone is not enough for privacy. The whole physical/logical structure of the WWW and DNS are vulnerable to sniffing so poking more holes on our insecure browsers and OS won't make it any worse in theory. In practise what it really makes it to allow companies such as Google to track our internet habits and data which are supposed to be private. So I believe changing the Law won't make a difference.
