    This is a great example of how profiles on all of us are going to be made by governments and corporations unless we take privacy seriously.

      *Have been made long ago and are being constantly updated.

      Snowden already warned us about this over a DECADE ago. Their scopes and powers will have increased exponentially. And that was under ‘trustworthy’ administration. I guarantee there’s a type of system in place that flags people before they do anything, just on pattern recognition alone. Of course, they can’t use that system as a legal basis for anything, so they don’t and use parallel constructions instead.

      Anyone who thinks “this is coming” hasn’t been paying attention. We’re already there and beyond.

        I find the funniest shit ever is how Snowden uncovered the biggest shit show and nothing happened. Probably the starting event for me losing all hope in this pathetic species I now call Homo Merda.

      And those who read your comment, already knew. Those that SHOULD read it, never will. The same problem as with warning-labels et al.
