Dear folks, here's something we REALLY need to be aware of: FBI proposal
Let's get this straight. If the rule change is granted, the FBI can be warranted to hack, yes, hack as insert malware into any computer computing device, anywhere for surveillance purposes Does anyone else find this extremely alarming? This is certainly an attack on anonymity online and a real threat to privacy of probably many innocent individuals! The ACLU has a 29 page (!) response to this - which you can find here.
A hearing is set for next week, Nov. 5. The public is able to comment on this and other proposed rule changes! Comments will be accepted until Feb. 7, 2015. You can comment, electonically only, by going here - and scrolling way down to link for "review or comment on proposed amendments to federal rules of criminal procedure" (or something very close to that wording!). I think it would be an excellent idea to let this group know how we feel on this issue. I intend to comment, after I read just a bit more and work up my statement!
This blog discusses issues of social justice (in an inclusive sense), civil liberties, human rights, other social issues, and offers thoughts on society and humanity in general from a progressive, feminist perspective.
