I strongly stand by my statement in my prior post!I used to frequent a forum that was quite wide open with what people could say/post - with the exception of people posting identifying info or making threats.
There were quite a few trolls.
There were also a few trolls who doxxed some members of the forum somehow by sending posts/etc. to their relatives or employers.
Given the even more severe consequences of red flag laws, it bears some thought and caution as to what some people say or infer here - myself included. I have an ex that would maybe be tempted to do something like that if she knew how and was able to figure out I was here - even though I have not spoken to her in years. Then there are the strangers who just feel they want to and that would get a thrill out of doing it to someone online, whether they had reason to or not.
So yes, we all should probably think a little harder about what we post anywhere.
Probably one of my most used jokes on my wife. "If I told you you had a nice arse, would you hold it against me?". Still makes her smile so I guess I'm still good to go with it.I strongly stand by my statement in my prior post!
Like many issues today, "it's complicated" applies . . .I'm familiar with people getting in trouble in court based on things that are said on social media attached to their real name that are publicly searchable or that other people could share/screenshot to use as evidence. Without using your real name, and not providing people with information against you, it would be tough for them to use forum posts against you.
For example,
Arresting officer says: "Give me your phone."
"Ok officer" (hands phone over)
Arresting officer: "what's the password"
"Silence"
(You don't have to say anything)
Have fun having a case against someone that says nothing. They have a duty to prove your guilt. You don't have to help them.
The NSA records, analyzes and collates every electronic communication that it can get its hands on, around the world.Every single thing that you WRITE online and even SAY in a telephone conversation (Land line or cellular telephone.) is known to Big Brother in one way or another.
Hence why you never set those features up on your phone (big brain).Like many issues today, "it's complicated" applies . . .
TL/DR they can't make you input or provide a passcode, but unlocking with facial recognition or touch ID is not prohibited

FAQ: What You Need to Know About the NSA's Surveillance Programs
A detailed snapshot of what's known about the NSA surveillance programs.www.propublica.org
They are only supposed to do this for non US citizens or those who communicate with persons of interest, but to do this, they grab everything they can. Generally they don't keep all of the raw data unless the person is of interest to somebody, but they do keep much of the metadata (data about the data - e.g., time, place, who was involved in the comm or transaction, etc.)
Now red flag laws are generally a state thing, and the NSA generally does not share anything with state govs - they often do not share with anybody - but ISPs do share a lot with anybody willing to pay them, or govs that subpoena them. And remember, this data generally does not go away.
Then there are the trolls...
So yeah - ALL of your internet traffic (including HTTPS which the NSA has broken), phone calls, all of your financial records, healthcare records, insurance records, your location from your cell phone (GPS turned on or not), facial recognition, license plate recognition and anything any government agency knows about you. ANYTHING electronic that they can tap into, which is just about anything.
The NSA runs all this thru their analyzing software and creates a map of your friends, their friends, their friends friends - at least 7 layers out - more if you are "interesting". Voice recognition if you are interesting. They have software that can capture words spoken in any language they know of, if they are interesting words or spoken by interesting people.
If anybody in that map is "interesting" to the government, then you are also "interesting" to the government and so are all of your friends/relatives/etc. - including people you work with and so on. Anything and anybody they can associate with you, they know. That includes everybody here, your FB associations, Reddit, etc.
But is anyone interested in Kevin Bacon??So they know I'm 7-degrees from Kevin Bacon…. Isn't everyone?
And here I am just worrying if I dare to eat a peachThat is the question: . . . .
