The NSA already has the database and is tracking both of those anyway under secret FISA warrants.

The fact that you think they get warrants to collect data into that database is cute.

They probably have like one warrant that's basically just a blank check to spy on anyone.

Which continue to expand, and just expanded even more this last time under Biden unfortunately.

They don't need one because of third party doctrine. They can just ask your phone carrier for your location and useage data and Google for your browser history. Those companies are free to sell that information to the government, which they do.

But they have to publicly disclose that information if they sell it, under a FISA warrant there's already a gag order on it.

[–] PriorityMotif 1 points 6 months ago

The public disclosure is in the EULA, which nobody reads.

Better watch out for the IRS, SSA and not to mention all those state DMVs. They know what you make and what car you drive!!!!111oneone

I don't recall the "NSA plan to track women's periods" in the Snowden dump. And so many gun sales are cash-and-carry that it's not something they can manage easily.

For any given person, I'm sure the FBI could figure it out with time and effort. But there's no national tracking database for all guns and pregnancies

It may be new. Snowden dump was what? More than 10 years ago?

Secret court. I case you thought we had a transparent justice system.

Well, it's not so secret now is it?!

Gal-durn blabbermouths.
