    If SSCI 702 bill goes forward, it will be enabling moment to turn our IC into something far worse than Stasi. I don't say that lightly.

        Please share it broadly. As I said, I'm NOT just speculating (though I hope some journos work to confirm it on their own).

        TBF this has been in place since 2014. But the RU hack JAR this year and this bill would blow it up.

        It basically kills Tor and (probably, tho to a lesser degree) VPN as means to organize privately.

        well, they don't have effective deanon attacks for Tor as far as public data goes

        I think they're bulk collecting at exit nodes. This the inclusion of so many in the DNC hack JAR. They're all RU facilities now!!!!

        So bulk collect (remember, they can keep anything encrypted anyway), & sort through what they want, I THINK. (As I said don't get tech side)

        People often compare the IC to the Stasi or the Gestapo, but the Reichswehr and Generalstab make for a better comparison.

        Stasi and Gestapo were instruments of repression in a dictatorship whereas the Reichswehr destroyed the democracy it had sworn to uphold.
