(62,325 posts)the government can access YOUR info is with A WARRANT showing PROBABLE CAUSE OF WRONGDOING, because in none of the privacy statements I have read does it say 'we share your personal data, posting and/or calling data WITH THE GOVERNMENT. No where. In fact they have consistently denied doing so.
People are now asking Verizon, et al, to show them the warrant they used, showing that people like me, did something so wrong that a court issued a warrant showing what that wrong doing was, before they handed over THEIR data.
You have a very poor understanding of the rights guaranteed to US citizens in their Constitution. Not just our Constitution, but the EU Bill of Rights, and every other Democracy on the face of the earth.
So far we have not seen those individual warrants.
We have not been told what we did wrong that allowed the government to stalk and snoop on our activities.
The only info gmail, FB, the Banks Drs etc can share is WHAT WE AGREED TO.
Millions of Americans never agreed to have the government spying on them.
This is such a dangerous thing you are pushing here. A real threat to this Democracy.
As for the banks knowing what you are depositing or taking out, that too needs to go. It was a terrible policy which people have been and still are outraged by and people take steps to prevent it because they know about it.
Iow, you are now USING a bad law to try to excuse even worse attacks on our rights. Unbelievable.
