  • 702 allows the US National Security Administration (NSA) to collect information/data worldwide which has the side effect of collecting some US persons information/data. The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) is a government agency that’s supposed to monitor other agencies for things like privacy concerns in regards to national security laws. The PCLOB has agreed with the EFF that 702 should have significant reform to improve protections for US citizens before it gets reauthorized. 702 expires at the end of this year, and the EFF believes it should expire first to remove any information that has already been collected.

    One of the biggest concerns is that US law enforcement can and has been searching this data without a warrant, thus violating US citizens right to privacy.











  • Is it just me or are all of those problems directly related to republican or at least conservative policies? Healthcare crisis because they oppose universal healthcare, debt crisis because they don’t believe in regulations on banks as well as bailing out Wall Street whenever they ask these days, a housing crisis because we let corporations run wild and buy up single family homes for the sole purpose of renting them at incredibly unaffordable rent levels. I think you can point to many instances where we are in the situation we are in, specifically because they are incapable of governing for the people and not for themselves and their friends.

    I think this article leaves out too much context on what they are doing for those people whose only form of shelter on the street is taken away by the city.

    Why would a homeless person reject a shelter over living on the street? Are these shelters less desirable somehow? Maybe that could be changed BEFORE you force people to live in them. If that’s not the issue and it’s just people being stubborn then sure, eventually they will go to the shelters when they have no other place to go. Are these places staffed with enough people to deal with the issue that made these people homeless in the first place? Or services to get them out of a shelter? Why haven’t we pumped billions into the people and not just their 2nd and 3rd order of effects of being homeless?






  • However, some were supportive of the plan. “He’s almost onto something with that,” one person wrote. “I’ve been saying if they insist that life starts at conception, men need to be paying child support at conception. Make the testing free. And demand back pay.”

    I can’t tell if the writer is playing along with the joke or not. I read that to be quote not actually supportive of the plan, but pointing out the obvious conclusions to actually make this stupid idea work.
