This video shows some of the reasons the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of Northern California recently launched the dotrights website that deals with a lot of the threats to free speech and privacy rights online that I've talked about in previous videos

oh shit.....i gotta stop watching so much porn

Is that why Verizon has chosen to give personal information out to the government? If I'm not mistaken, the company folded like wet cardboard against the government several months back. If you're not concerned with the government or any company keeping tabs on you and what you do...then you're not paranoid enough.

I believe sacrificing your life without the assurance of a afterlife, is the ultimate sacrifice, and is far more honorable! WTF is she thinking? She's basically saying life doesn't matter to atheists. I guess freedom doesn't either.

that is not cool

For me, I'm not personally scared of the online companies doing that. Why? They don't have a fucking monopoly on it. Besides, the government and the private companies are buddy-ed up to do this in the first place. The simplest solution is to take the government out of the equation. Ads will still be there, mostly to what you want. And if the company screws up, I know for sure I'd be on another site.

After I took the ACLU facebook quiz I almost stopped using Facebook altogether.

In Katz v. United States, 389 U.S. 347 (1967), the Supreme Court ruled that the amendment covered a person's "reasonable expectation of privacy", rather than solely on whether that person's property had been intruded upon.

I do believe my web history is a "reasonable expectation of privacy" and therefore I do believe the government collecting this is a violation of the 4th Amendment

[GoOutStrange]

Not all actions by which governmental authorities obtain information from or about a person constitute a search. Therefore, government action triggers the amendment's protections only when the information or evidence at issue was obtained through a "search" within the meaning of the amendment. If no search occurs, no warrant is required. Generally, authorities have searched when they have impeded upon a person's reasonable expectation of privacy.

[GoOutStrange]

My contention is the government doing something to protect us from the government always works against us. I think about the Jefferson quote regarding the government becoming a "legalized" criminal.

I must agree that discrimination based on web searches should be illegal.

I also think it goes against the 4th Amendment, but government who swears to uphold those rights chips away at them daily.
