FBI Wants Authority To Filter Net Backbone

Posted by kdawson on from the say-please dept.

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."

  1. [America] Please stop trying to export this by pembo13 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    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.

    It's the JEWS, stupid.
    The JEWS want to be able to watch everything we write on the internet, so that we can't tell the truth about them. That they run the U.S. government. That they live off YOUR taxes. That they STEAL billions of dollars every year from the American people. That they are behind the promotion of homosexuality, pornography, abortion, non-white immigration, and everything else that is destroying what was once a beautiful, WHITE country.
    Don't believe me? Try looking at film footage of America from 1950, and compare it to today.
    Or do the same for ANY European country. Or Australia.
