FBI Wants Authority To Filter Net Backbone

Dionysius, God of Wine and Leaf, writes "There are places where criminal activity is centralized: the backbone hubs located in hosting facilities across the country. All of the Internet's activity, legal and illegal, flows through these 'choke points,' and the feds, of course, are already tapping those points and siphoning off data. What Mueller wants is the legal authority to comb through the backbone data, which is already being siphoned off by the NSA, in order to look for illegal activity."

[America] Please stop trying to export this

You had your years of pre "police state", so let other countries have theirs. Don't export your "values" to other countries and help them go directly to the police state stage under the guise of democracy. If _this_ is democracy, I'd rather not have it.
