Anyone who believes things just because their chosen party proclaims them to be true is probably an idiot. Even politicians mostly just pretend to believe most of the crud they spew.
Their entire business is based on monitoring your internet usage and using that to learn about you so advertisers can make more money from you. Of course they're monitoring your Internet usage.
A much better question would be, what possible motive could they have for offering a "free" service that doesn't monitor you?
For example, if it's a random type of tree frog in the amazon because of logging, that's one thing. If it's something that will cause the massive collapse of society because I can't get a steak... That's another thing entirely.
Actually, the best way to make sure something doesn't go extinct is to make it taste good.
As long as health care costs rise faster than GDP growth, they will continue to displace all other government spending. Demographics alone in most western countries guarantee this will continue to happen for the next couple of decades at least.
Maybe we just can't afford to do everything that would be nice to do? Health care costs continue to rise exponentially. All other government spending will continue to decrease as a result
There's no gamble, student loans are guaranteed by the government. That's why everyone can get them, and that's why the cost of education has exploded.
1) The NSA intercepts and stores virtually all communications sent on electronic networks anywhere it can reach. Not just metadata. In the case of phone calls, they also speech->text them and make that archive searchable.
5) The NSA has physically broken into the fiber plants of major public Internet companies (ie. Google), supposedly without their knowledge, in order to steal data sent only internally.
So, because the government has overreached by creating a million different taxes, and has creating thousands of laws criminalizing victimless crimes, it's also OK to criminalize private movement of money that could be, but isn't necessarily, being used to break those other overreaching laws.

Mikrotik has cheap ones too, that work great.

They're already doing this in Vancouver.
If that's the only choice to evade their data gathering, then yeah. Obviously it would be better to buy a car you can trust, but from who?
Yank it out and put in an aftermarket one that you know isn't spying on you.
Always told to us, of course, by people who themselves live in mansions, travel via private jet, and are driven around in armoured SUVs.
Well, they have PaaS covered with Azure.

I still want the land the Saxons stole from my British ancestors. And let's not even mention the Romans and Vikings.
I don't know why you think I'm a repub. I'd terminate all corporate welfare instantly if it was up to me. And let the banks die when they screw up.
Vancouver's full of them, too. And the Gulf islands. And they're about as "liberal", as in loony-leftie, as it gets.
Delusion is thinking there's an infinite amount of other people's money available for your pet projects.
The problem is that things a lefty court might think are obligations are not necessarily things taxpayers can actually afford to do.
If history is any guide, righting the ship of state is incredibly unlikely. Dictatorship and some form of imperial rule are far more likely outcomes.
Obviously I meant in the modern world. I have no doubt hunter-gatherers killed off many species.
From the same dipshits that argue that any decrease in public spending will suddenly turn us into Somalia.

And we have water.

Well, among other things, he revealed that:
1) The NSA intercepts and stores virtually all communications sent on electronic networks anywhere it can reach. Not just metadata. In the case of phone calls, they also speech->text them and make that archive searchable.

2) The NSA constantly works at ways to break into encrypted communications, including hacking into the VPNs of supposedly friendly governments.

3) The NSA listens to the cell calls of friendly foreign leaders. (hopefully, also, unfriendly ones).
http://www.spiegel.de/internat...
4) The NSA may have worked to weaken encryption standards in order to make their task easier.

5) The NSA has physically broken into the fiber plants of major public Internet companies (ie. Google), supposedly without their knowledge, in order to steal data sent only internally.

6) Major Internet companies, and all telcos, have willingly shared much or all of their client's communications with the NSA.

7) The NSA and foreign intelligence agencies share data in order to evade domestic spying restrictions.

8) The NSA has hacked into at least one major supplier of SIM cards, in order to spy on calls made from the phones made with them.

So, because the government has overreached by creating a million different taxes, and has creating thousands of laws criminalizing victimless crimes, it's also OK to criminalize private movement of money that could be, but isn't necessarily, being used to break those other overreaching laws.
Got it.
Make sure and stay in the Free Speech Zones.
If they only detect 5% of them, then sure, why not?
