I would expect any computer repair person to alert authorities if they happen upon something resembling child porn during a routine repair...

But what happens if they expand this 'training' to look at your digital music + movie files, personal pictures, or other content for violations of the DMCA, or whatever charge they feel like shopping for?

Slippery slope.

Child porn is one thing but you can bet they’re sending everything to the feds. Need a computer repair? Do it yourself or use it for target practice and buy a new one. Even so, “they” will be snooping on your every click.

Here’s a big Howdy! to the guy behind the screen. Long time no wave but haven’t forgotten about you.

The dirty secret is, Best Buy will go through anybody’s files whether they need to or not. Common practice for these “geeks” to swipe pictures, videos, and music.

If you use Best Buy to work on your equipment expect NO PRIVACY whatsoever.

Notice how their suing the “Trump Justice Department”?

Please show me the directive given by the Trump Admiration to the Justice Department to start this program within a month of him being sworn in and without a sitting AG?

I don’t know why Sessions doesn’t release all of the these documents immediately for all of these lawsuits against the DOJ. This would show that all of these actions were either directed by Obama Administration officials, or undertaken without proper authorization, or started by a prior administration.

I get spam, like maybe 5 a day. I never open it but the titles are similar to “Teens with bigco..” Sexy neighbor is hot for you or Cougars seeking yada yada yada, They send them to me with two words connected as one so I can’t block. All of it goes to spam. Should I be worried? Should I just change my e-mail? Even if I change will this crap still be sent to me? What to do?

How legal is it for the FBI to use U.S. citizens to search for this stuff? Whatever happened to the chain of evidence? Whose to say one of those Geek Squad spies didn’t put it there just to look lke a hero?

Didn't this occur during the 0bama reign of terror?

Did somebody mention secret agents and a geek squad?

[GOPJ]

Best Buy geeks also push the Russian Virus software called Kaspersky...

Details; were the Best Buy employees paid to look and then report IF they found something, or paid to look and report on every computer's content with a "nothing on this one", or paid a bounty when they found something?

And I would also expect that somebody in the Geek Squad probably has some kind of confidentiality agreement with their employer, to avoid having any corporate liability if stuff started showing up in unintended hands. Besides, getting paid by another party would be moonlighting. Wouldn't Best Buy want some kind of relief from lawsuits in this situation? (Unless, of course, Best Buy was in on it.)
