Congress Stops Pretending About Privacy After CIA Destroyed the Internet

No-one trusts the Internet anymore because the CIA is on it and no-one trusts them so the Internet is finished except for Amazon.  They talk of 'breaking the Internet' on Twitter but those li'l guppies apparently didn't notice it's already smashed.

Meanwhile, Trump has tried again in his trite little way to be breathtaking and has ordered elimination of Internet privacy but, wtf, it was already gone.  (RT:  Internet privacy rules removed by Congress)

Picture of a company which has been selling us out all along and to whom privacy never meant anything anyway.


You would have to be in a cave and living on worms to have failed to have heard about the way the CIA / NSA has been hacking and poisoning the Internet around the world.  What difference is online privacy supposed to make after the CIA has already destroyed it.

Now we get this stupid melodrama about privacy from the same pols who ordered the CIA to do it in the first place.  There's no comedy in this and it's so banal it doesn't even make for satire; it's just endless mediocrity.

The CIA lives in assiduous mockery of the Fourth Amendment and that's the best legacy they leave; they've got a whole lot worse than that.


It's most unusual that so many are lackadaisical about it since trust in the Internet won't magically come back.  That goes to the sci fi part since we want a system we can use where the state isn't constantly trying to look up our dresses.

Ed:  it won't matter if your nether parts are committing no crimes

Yah, sure.  I've heard that before.  Just relax and enjoy it, right?
