A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Nicely put. I seem to remember some government type trying to say it was not spying to record your data and mine it as long as a human did not access it. Kind of a similar thing Google says about Gmail.
Wasn't it the CIA directory that lied under oath then later said it was the least dishonest thing he could say. He got away with that too.
You can also look at the Patriot Act as another example of the US Government proving it is completely untrustworthy when it comes to the privacy of its citizens.
Oh I know. We live in interesting times.
