    You would think with the 100 billion a year we spend now on intelligence agencies and military intelligence that... this would already be covered.

    perhaps you have misinterpreted their role. they aren't there to gather intelligence. they exist as an extended kind of sheltered workshop for people who are otherwise unemployable in the commercial sector. like unemployment, except they get paid a hell of a lot more and they have close to zero accountability.

    3. The government needs a new boogie man since terrorism seems to be wearing thin as a justification for crapping on the constitution.

    I disagree. Terrorism makes good Bad Guys because they're generally threatening - like, guns in your face, blow you up threatening, not "you called me an edgelord on twitter" threatening - and anyone you don't like can be painted as a Terrorist, with the possible exception of people like the Dalai Lama, Brian Eno, Krillin, etc. Drawing astroturfers, spammers and shitposters as the new terrorists would be difficult because it's hard to track them down. If your shitposter turns out to be a python script hosted on a burner account in the .cx domain, who do you arrest? Guido van Rossum?

    also, most shitposters turn out to be fourteen year old American white males, and there's only so much threat mileage you can extract from that direction.

  8. I really don't see a downside to this.

    You've never dealt with the police, then. Tricking them into damaging their own equipment while wearing a shit-eating grin doesn't exactly endear you to them.

    How would I know whether I have ever engaged in a 'non-conventional' act?

    They'd tell you, after you'd been arrested.

    What is the state's interest in doing this? Are people watching these videos out in the streets, or on the subway or something?

    They have to be seen to be doing something useful, otherwise people start to wonder why these wonks are getting paid so much to sit around watching us watch porn. A vaguely described quality like "non-conventional" allows them to define pretty much anything as "non-conventional", so it becomes a handy excuse to pinch anyone they want to. You can guarantee that nobody from the upper classes is going to be charged for watching spanking videos (despite this being the definition of Conventional British Porn for over two hundred years), and of course they will not provide detailed descriptions of what they consider to be "non-conventional", with exact guidelines for any border conditions. "Women sitting on cakes shall be deemed to be non-conventional only when the cake is more than two-tiered, for example three- or four-tiered wedding cakes, and where the icing or cream coating is more than four inches thick."

    i'm hoping this is another trumpeting - the loud noise made by nervous politicians who sense that their constituents are about to turn on them. as soon as they've made their loud noise and the jackals of the media seem to be appeased, they lapse back into their semi-comatose state.
