Thoughts and a question on big gov't web tracking

[CostaRicaBound]

We've all read it ad nauseum in the various news, or heard it on radio/tv/etc... Recent revelations regarding big gov't tracking and keeping just about every piece of information on our whereabouts, online activity, phone conversations, and who knows what else. I stated early on that this practice will not plant its feet among the short-attention-span public for very long, and will soon be accepted as a norm. No matter which low-level jockey gets thrown on the grenade for this, I believe that ultimately this may become our new reality.

So, my question is: How many of you have found yourself backing off of certain online activity such as politically-oriented FB posts, posts on here, or merely simple web browsing, in fear that you possibly are being watched?

It's a crying shame that within such a short time period, so many of our basic Constitutional God-given rights are being put asunder. It's even more shameful that so many Americans are asleep during this bludgeoning.

Would like to hear honest answers from people whether you feel emboldened in the face of attack or if you are saving your fight for now.....

[Tylerls1]

Crazy people have been saying this for a long time now, question is who's crazy now?

 

[Retread]

When I was in high school, I made pot pipes for the head shop at the county seat. Pretty sure I was on the list then, so I might as well stay on it.

It is for your own good... Now shut up, pay your taxes and quit complaining!!!

I do watch what I say to a degree, but then some times not.

The Gov. has been monitoring a lot of your activity for years the only diference now is many more are aware of it. The only way to prevent information being gathered is to drop out no cell no internet dont drive a laye modle car no atm use you get the ideal.
