Glad to see faggots like you campaigning for the government clamping down on free speech by monitoring "radical right wingers" like it is East Germany.Considering that we have many posters campaigning for treason, insurrection and a lot worse, they might want to be aware of the key words that get the attention of the feds.
Maybe the FBI has received complaints about USMB.
More likely they followed just followed the scum from Stormfront.
Maybe. Half the Nazis were queer though. Or are you trying to suggest there's some parallel attraction between USMB and Stormfront?
Republicans currently control Congress – they could repeal the PA next week.
Ummm...well, OK. Unlike 99% of the queers onboard, I actually admit when I'm caught stretching the bounds of credibility, and then it's almost always in a humorous context. There was only ever one census conducted by Germany of its queer population. I should say its queer male population, over 15 years of age. I've written six thousand-word essays on this subject, footnoted and referenced, but I'm going to cut it short, because this deserves a thread or 12 of its own. The German male homosexual population in the mid 1930's was 3.2 million.

You seem very obsessed with things gay, Mr. Sweetnam. Hmmmmm..... this is fun to watch.

FBI App: Social Media Scraping
Posted by: Kimberly Kurimski Updated: October 14, 2014
Social media isn’t just a tool for employers screening prospective workers anymore. Watch out for an FBI app designed for social media scraping. Social media can work as an early warning system for potential threats, criminal activity, or other risks. As of April 2013, the social media companies are still lobbying against this endeavor by the FBI. The companies who are listed among those actively resisting include Google, Facebook, and Yahoo.
A Possible Solution to Early Threats
According to sources, the FBI has been looking in to hiring a contracting company to put together an application to scrape social media sites for signs of domestic and global threats. While some indicate that the application could allow for early warning against threats to our country, others are quick to point out that such an endeavor could implicate trouble for freedom of speech. The request by the FBI for the scraping application was posted on the FBI’s Strategic Information and Operations Center website on January 19, 2012, when it caught the attention of a number of other groups including New Scientist Magazine.
Why Social Media?
Why is the FBI looking towards social media for the next step in national security? According to the request by the FBI’s Strategic Information and Operations Center, social networking is the premier first response system to key events and the “primal alert to possible developing situations.”
What does The Application Do Specifically?
Although the application has little information released to the public, the FBI claims that the application allows them to predict both domestic and global threats by being able to predict the actions of individuals deemed to be a threat, detect people who are misleading law enforcement through their online actions, and to track the actions of groups that are suspected of terrorist actions. According to a spokeswoman knowledgeable of the project, the application will not differ from other similar types of applications being utilized by other governmental agencies. There are still some concerns by many that the application will allow the FBI to zero in on specific individuals; however, the FBI spokeswoman insists that the application is simply designed to track the “words and activities constituting violations of federal criminal law or threats to national security.”
The internet is a public place and what you post here is open to the public. There is no right of privacy on the internet and yes, the FBI is not the only agency monitoring the internet. Your local police could be doing the same thing.
From my perspective this is like having cops patrolling in your own home town. They aren't concerned about the average law abiding citizens. They are only interested in those whose intentions are illegal. It was by monitoring social media that the FBI caught the 3 men from Georgia.

So obviously this is an effective means of law enforcement. Do you have an opinion on this monitoring? Do you support it or oppose it?
Has the NSA bypassed the proper channels or were they simply not required to go through those channels if they had no intent of gathering information pursuant to a criminal prosecution?You're at liberty to disagree, but until there's a way to send emails, text messages, and phone calls without an ISP or wireless company like Verizon, there's no reasonable expectation of privacy – you're still turning over personal information to a private third party.“The internet is a public place and what you post here is open to the public. There is no right of privacy on the internet and yes, the FBI is not the only agency monitoring the internet. Your local police could be doing the same thing.”
Correct, there is no reasonable expectation of privacy when one willingly submits information to a third party via the internet, email, text, or wireless communications.
I disagree in regards to email, text, and wireless communications. When you post something publicly on Facebook or USMB it's expected that everybody can see it. When it comes to a private conversation on the phone people do expect a certain level of privacy. It's not a right, but it doesn't make violating that privacy right either.
Don't be all civil while I'm trying to disagree with you. What the fuck...
Seriously though, I support law enforcement going through the same channels they would to obtain any other search warrant. If there is enough evidence that a judge approves it, it's fair game. Unfortunately, in the case of the NSA, it looks like they have bypassed those channels many times over, without always getting approval from the third party provider. I consider that theft of private data. Not of the person whose conversation it was, but of the third party provider who holds that data.
The last thing the NSA and similar surveillance programs want to do is prosecute the average citizen for a relatively minor offense, as that would compromise the programs.
What sort of standard should the NSA be held to with regard to the gathering of information if that information is not used as evidence in a criminal proceeding, never to be subject to a 4th Amendment search and seizure challenge by someone's defense attorney?
They actively tapped into private data, held by a private company, obtained from private citizens, without a warrant. They should be held to the same standards as any hacker who does the same thing.
Of course they are watching USMB for exactly the reasons you mentioned. We have members promoting treason on a daily basis. They obviously don't like the electoral system our Founding Fathers setup. They will bitch and moan about anything they deem unconstitutional, but promote violence to anything justified under our Constitution.
HEY G-MAN. FUCK OBAMA!!!
Well I voted "pineapple." The dumb-ass Presidunce and his cretin Attorney General might want to investigate me, I suppose.
I don't like Obama as President, and I speak out against his policies all the time, but when you actively promote the assassination or overthrow of a democratically elected leader you are guilty of treason.
And THAT'S how I got to Memphis!
What if it turns out that there might be some consequences for expressing your true beliefs and somebody finds out what your true beliefs are?

I would really like to see you pussies try to "bring down the hammer" on the right wing. It will just be a repeat of the Bundy Ranch where you guys lose and retreat.
Germany is vying with the US and Sweden for gayest country in the world, last I heard.
canada didn't defeat the US in the War of 1812. It was Britain. That fallacy is a myth created by canadians so they would think they are significant. As for the 3rd most powerful military in the world...I don't think so. They cannot defend themselves...they are reliant on the US military and NATO. canadians have been and forever will be nothing more than cannon fodder.Canada more closely resembles the US than most countries. Contrary to popular belief, they have the 3rd most powerful military in the world, and is the first country to defeat the US in war in 1812. They are no pushovers.
Damn right I am Shlomo.Glad to see faggots like you campaigning for the government clamping down on free speech by monitoring "radical right wingers" like it is East Germany.Considering that we have many posters campaigning for treason, insurrection and a lot worse, they might want to be aware of the key words that get the attention of the feds.

You seem angry, little Adolph.
No, but I figure you would know since sodomy it is clearly up your alley.Germany is vying with the US and Sweden for gayest country in the world, last I heard.
I bet you hear that, little Adolph. Your butt itching already?
