Had Bush been president when the latest CIA scandal broke your faux red-faced outrage would have been the stuff of faux legends

But the affirmative action president was in charge so it's "nothing to see here" as always

Have kind of a short memory, do you? Have you forgotten? Bush was wiretapping everyone.
;-)

That was the alt left hysteria at the time, "Bushitler" blah blah blah

Everyone is Hitler... Hitlers everywhere. We get it

You need to learn how to read for comprehension though. Reread what I wrote, pay careful attention to the "when the latest CIA scandal broke" part this time

Seen on social media: "They spy on you through your microwaves because they know it's the one place you can't put tin foil."

This would be funny except that people's TVs are spying on them.

quote:

The popular TV maker Vizio began in 2014 to incorporate software into its TV sets to collect information about our viewing habits on a second-by-second basis. Then, working with a data analytics company, they were able to associate that data with very detailed and specific personal information of the viewers. Yes, Vizio sold you a TV set and turned around and spied on you as a thank you for your business!
Vizio installed the software on 11 million TV sets without ever asking for permission or informing their owners that they were collecting the data. After a lawsuit was filed by the FTC and the state of New Jersey, Vizio settled and paid a fine of $2.2 million.

And in Germany, some people are destroying dolls.

https://pjmedia.com/parenting/2017/02/20/these-dolls-were-classified-as-hidden-espionage-devices-in-one-country/

quote:

Since My Friend Cayla has the potential to steal the information of the children who play with it, she is a no-no in Germany. The doll has been removed from the market by the Federal Network Agency, and parents who have already purchased Cayla are actually expected to destroy her. Seem a little extreme? Maybe not when it comes to small children.


Consumerist explains how the toy operates:

They connect via Bluetooth to a mobile phone app, usually belonging to a parent, and then from there access the internet in order to interact with kids and answer their questions. To accomplish that feat, the apps record and collect conversations between the toys and the kids, and use speech-to-text protocols to turn kids’ questions into searchable queries.

When users first set up the app for their toy, they may be sharing data you don’t want shared. Cayla in particular asks for multiple pieces of personal information — the child’s name, their parents’ names, their school name, their hometown, among other questions — so it can converse more naturally. The app also allows for location setting, and both the Cayla and i-Que apps collect users’ IP addresses.

If that doesn't creep you out, maybe this will: the information is then transmitted to the servers at the headquarters of Nuance Communications, the company that provides Cayla with her voice-parsing services.

I am not so sure about the whole "internet of things."

I suppose that the microwave MIGHT be spying on you if it is connected to the internet.

Those online apps to remote control vibes... good idea for fun, but not exactly private.

Vibrator Maker To Pay Millions Over Claims It Secretly Tracked Use
http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/03/14/520123490/vibrator-maker-to-pay-millions-over-claims-it-secretly-tracked-use
The makers of the We-Vibe, a line of vibrators that can be paired with an app for remote-controlled use, have reached a $3.75 million class action settlement with users following allegations that the company was collecting data on when and how the sex toy was used.

Standard Innovations, the Canadian manufacturer of the We-Vibe, does not admit any wrongdoing in the settlement finalized Monday.

The We-Vibe product line includes a number of Bluetooth-enabled vibrators that, when linked to the "We-Connect" app, can be controlled from a smartphone. It allows a user to vary rhythms, patterns and settings — or give a partner, in the room or anywhere in the world, control of the device. (You can see a video promoting the app's features here; be advised, it is briefly not safe for work.)

Hitler thought in a "conservative" manner?

Other than being historically false in every conceivable way

This should be entertaining.....

Go on then - why is it 'false'?

Some current US conservative/libertarian trends in thought are generally considered to be:

1. Smaller, less intrusive government.
2. Respect for private property
3. Respect for individual rights

Does the patriot act not ring any bells here Firm ? It rides roughshod over the three items listed above. Its ironic the right love to use the term health care nazis, yet get upset when similar comments are aimed in reverse.

I love the "When Trump said 'wiretapping,' he didn't mean 'wiretapping.'"

I guess it depends on what the meaning of "is" is.

Trump wiretap claims: White House softens stance on unproven tweets

Unsubstantiated claims by US President Donald Trump that he was wiretapped by Barack Obama were not meant literally, the White House press secretary says.

Sean Spicer said Mr Trump had broadly meant "surveillance and other activities" when he made the allegation in a tweet earlier this month.

He also suggested the president was not accusing his predecessor specifically

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-39262158

In his tweet Mr Trump said: "Just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory."

He added: "Is it legal for a sitting President to be 'wire tapping' a race for president?"
Despite repeated requests, the White House has not given any evidence for the claim.

You mean like paying people to pummel and pepper spray women and beat old people, rioting and committing arson at opposition rallies, demonstrating outside of politicians' homes, stalking opposition politician's family members, even mothers with babies and ambushing them with screams of wild accusations and threats?

Wait, you alt left psychopaths doing that

Hi Fuckwit, I see you are deflecting again. The posts of mine you quoted are not the same thing as the claim Trump has made.

I know that wont worry you, what with your fake name, fake news and fake brain.

As for my having "no compass" not only are you unable to tell North from South, nor East from West but arse from elbow
