United States massively violates citizens’ right to private life

United States massively violates citizens’ right to private life

 It wasn't so long ago that this site VotaireNet.org was banned on Facebook.
Oh, no, there was no announcement or decree. Not even a good raking over the coals; those are often the job left to bots and provocateurs in user content in order leave the Facebook strategist's hands clean from libel charges in the public view. The same as politician's accounts are studded with glowing accolades from scripted commenters. By Facebook's community standards, however, those accounts are exempt from the rules.

And, like most "help" contacts on corporate vendors that forward your life's ambitions, machines handle all your concerns and complaints. There is nothing human about it - bandit

The 2021 statistical report issued by the Office of the US National Director of Intelligence, Avril Haines, on nominative internet surveys points to a widespread violation of the right of American citizens to privacy [1].

Each intelligence agency is entitled to request Internet companies for access to the personal information in their possession concerning either foreign or domestic Internet users suspected of crimes. Edward Snowden revealed that this data comprises emails, video chats and voice chats, photos, file transfers, logins, social media account details, and beyond.

Under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), such a probe can be greenlighted not only by magistrates and the US Attorney General, but also by an official, such as the director of national intelligence.

In 2021, the CIA carried out around 4,000 personal searches… while the FBI undertook 3,394,053. The data thus collected can ultimately be used for purposes which depart from the original motive.
