So, theoretically if you set your browser to clear it’s history every time you close it, you may be committing a felony over and over again.

It would not surprise me in the least. If you can be prosecuted for taking your own money out of the bank, you can be prosecuted for anything they so choose.

Dang. I just cleared all of mine in hopes of speeding up my interwebs experience.

This law is only for ‘the little people’, the proles, not the ‘Inner Party’, didn’t you get the memo from Big Brother 0.00? Hillary is part of the ‘Inner Party’, here in Oceania.

Well, there is a fairly common statement that every man, woman and child in the USA commits at least 3 felonies a day.

We have a lot of laws, and basically living your life is a crime.

Well yeah, there’s lots of normal every day stuff that if you do it KNOWING you’re destroying criminal evidence becomes illegal.

Prosecuting someone for trying to wipe his internet browser history to cover up a lie he made to the police is not any great stretch of the law. You can also be prosecuted for throwing out your garbage if you know there is evidence of a crime in there that you want to get rid of.

Of course you are free to wipe your email server to cover up anything if you are a democrat candidate for president.

Only if you’re constantly doing stuff that would make your browser history evidence of a crime. Taking out the trash is legal, unless there’s bloody gloves from where you murdered somebody in there, then its destruction of evidence.

Or if you are falsely implicated in a crime and a malicious prosecutor wants to kick you around.

I have seen it happen. Seen it ruin lives.

Finally, a common sense answer to the paranoids.

Thank you!

I'm so computer illiterate that I could probably make a case that I didn't know what I was doing.

I clear mine every day.

If the Democrat Communists who run the US government knew how much time I spend on Free Republic....well....

It’s my understanding that just about anything is recoverable from an intact hard drive.

In other words, deleting files or overwriting them is pretty much a waste of time if law enforcement has enough time, money, and equipment to tease those files back out again.

It’s also my understanding that smashing a hard drive into dust and little pieces is the only sure method of destroying the data.

Is my understanding of this issue correct?

The comments to the article go immediately to, “Kill the rich — but only a few hundred thousand of them so we don’t feel icky.”

What’s funnier is the line preceding the comments: “Before commenting, please read our Community Guidelines.”

I guess “economic cleansing” of the 1% fits The Nation’s community guidelines.

Or/And, Lois Lerner.
