Trusting the government costs you your privacy, your freedom, and even your stability
People who use black tape to cover the cameras on their home and office computers, iPads, tablets and cell phones, can no longer be written off as ‘paranoids’.
The big portals showing the masses what the government is really up to all came last April, and until Obama’s gone from the White House, civilian life will never be the same.
It was last April when a judge in Texas denied a request by the Federal Bureau of Investigation for what he described as a warrant to remotely “hack a computer suspected of criminal use”, raising questions about the legal requirement for the government to use computer hacking techniques in investigations. (Wall Street Journal, April 23, 2013).
“By “surreptitiously installing software”—a technique typically associated with computer hackers—investigators are able to infiltrate computers and gather extensive information, according to a document in the case.
“The judge’s order said the data the FBI could obtain includes “search terms that the user entered into any Internet search engine, and records of user-typed Web addresses.
“The government also is seeking email contents, documents and chat-messaging logs on the computer, as well as to take photographs for 30 days using the computer’s built-in camera, the document states.” (emphasis CFP’s).
So Big Brother Government does have the ability to watch you right on your handy computer’s built-in camera.
