I think I speak for all FReepers when I say that you have nothing to worry about if you have nothing to hide.
Worrying about this just means you’re buying into Losertarian conspiracy kookery.
The government loves you and just wants to save you from the evildoers doing terrorism.
Fear what the government tells you to fear and you’ll be OK.
FReeper orthodoxy must be maintained.
“The telecom companies will not report back to the government on what they see, except in aggregate statistics, a senior DHS official said in an interview granted on condition he not be identified.”
No one with an IQ over 80 should actually believe the above statement.
Also, I think that the official needs to be identified.
