Yeah but what about when the govt gets a listof people that dont want to be spied on by taking the purchase records from the Snowden company. !?!?! Then they will know who to spy on right away!!!! Muhahahaha!
Sorry , couldnt help it
"If you don't have anything to hide, why do you need to know when you're spied on?"

On topic : I would assume it simply tells them that the device is functioning without their use/permission ?
but there is just something I can't like about this product, something that seems dishonest. I can't quite put my finger on it though
Perhaps the "Trust me" nature of the technology? In a world where trust is treated like cheap currency while it becomes the most rare commodity on Earth?
There was a point in time in my living memory when privacy meant choosing who knew intimate details of your life and also was not considered an evasion or "hiding" things.
They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. Those Who Sacrifice Liberty For Security Deserve Neither. He who would trade liberty for some temporary security, deserves neither liberty nor security.
Yes, there was.Actually, there never was.
People may accept that to a certain degree but that doesnt make it right or legal, just something that a blind eye is turned toEvery country operates under the simple concept of surrendering a reasonable level of liberty, for security.
Ummm no. Everyone else iis letting you search? Fine. Post a guard outside to make sure that the killer doesnt leave my place while you search everyone else and make sure you have a warrant for mine before you try to step past the threshold. I am certain there are laws on the books that prevent me from guarding my own rights that way but until then....Whether that be warrantless searches of homes when a madman killer is on the loose,
the excuse here is that the meta data is no more private than the outside of the envelope on a letter sent through the mail. I can live with that but I feel it is a prevarication intended to smooth down folks that have had their rights trampled.or grabbing the metadata from communications that start in the US, but end outside of the US, in areas of the world where terrorists have historically found safe havens while plotting attacks. One of those areas is Western Europe.
Oh you mean with that information that was collected without a warrant because they did away with the requirement for one? I see what you are getting at but I still see these are prevarications.The only time they would be identified would be during a trial.
Absolutes and extremes are wise to be guarded against. In this case I would say that there is an equal and opposing mindset that is just as worrying.Perhaps even more worrying the this relatively new absolutist mindset that does not recognize the need to surrender any liberty, for anything.
