Court Battle Over Internet Calls

Posted by samzenpus on from the tap-out dept.

koweja writes "The federal appeals court has is hearing a petition to overturn an FCC rule that extends current wire-tapping laws to cover VoIP calls. The petition comes from various privacy advocacy groups, including the Center for Democracy and Technology. Aside from the obvious privacy issues, the rule requires that providers use equipment that allows wiretaps, which would require many companies to "upgrade" in order to comply."

    Please.

    While you are at it, can you vote in a rich white oil man who might want to invade some oil rich nations under the guise of an old obvious debunked lie? Also, make sure he can let black and poor people drown and live in pure misery while his cabinet is further exposed for the criminals they are and nothing comes of it at all. I would also like the economy further weakened along with the dollar and at least one more prime terrorist training ground created like Iraq so I can really feel unsafe so some of the most dangerous people in the world get some live training. It might be a bit too, but how about making the Constitution officially bigotted before removing more of it and to hell with passing no law to endorse any religion.

    Taking away more of my liberty and freedom is the only answer to this as Benjamin Franklin can agree to. It makes as much sense as sitting and staring like an idiot at a wall while the nation is under an attack that was allowed to happen.

    Please.
