First off Butch said privacy on 'computers', you changed it to privacy on the 'net', 2 entirely different things.

The internet is NOT a social tool, it is a communications utility' nothing more. You may use it for social networking and that which you post to the public is public. Emails on the other hand are absolutely not public, any more than a telephone conversation is public.
The ability for the gubmint or someone to tap in and 'trespass' on that privacy does not make it any more legal.
The contents of emails like telephone conversation are part of your private property.
Anything posted on this forum or in your profiles is accessible by the public, emails exchanged are not.

He said computers and internet. I didn't change anything... I just chose to talk about the Internet.

If you want privacy on your computer, don't attach it to the Internet.
If you want to have a private conversation, don't have it over the phone.
If you want to send someone written as opposed to spoken words, try sending a letter.

It is actually currently legal for the government to read emails older than 180 days because the law regarding old emails hasn't been updated since 1986.

But even if they changed the law, do you seriously trust them not to find loopholes or covertly bend it somehow??

The best way to deal with this isn't to fight them, it's to adopt a certain protocol when communicating via the web, to not give a fuck, and/or to use alternative forms of communication for things that are personal. Honestly, I can't imagine anyone giving a fuck about what I say in my emails because I tend not to talk about or do things that are illegal or arouse suspicion.

I'm confused. Who signed this bill into law? Was it the republicans? Oh, no! Dumbo ears is a dumbocrat.

Is there a chance that it could get contested in January? The article seems to say so. How would this put the republican congress at odds with a republican administration? Has Trump been infiltrating the white house and signing shit while dumbo ears isn't looking?

Lucy this post is ludicrous, any hacker with simple equipment can hack what they like.
I think USA should be more concerned about what Trump will do.

people care more about the gubmint because they are entrusted to protect our right not give themselves a license to violate them.

Uhg I stand corrected, I should have reread that before I posted.
Your not doing anything illegal or wrong is not the point.
Because someone can break into your house does that mean it should be legalized?
There is an old saying in the legal industry. 'A good attorney can indict a ham sandwhich'.
You dont have to arouse suspicion or do anything wrong to wind up in the graybar hotel. That is the problem!
Then you get the steve avery treatment.

But some dont care about the other hackers, or what others can do. they only worry about govmnt.
as for what you find ludicrous, cest la vie.

Some are getting buyers remorse already.
Others dont care and wont care until it hits them.
