So can Jeff Sessions determine that my calling Trump a butt-head is a threat to national security? And no judge could then stop me being spied on?
-
If you're using Tor or a VPN, yes.
-
So theoretically, could he determine use of TOR or a VPN is in itself indicative of a threat, and then collect all TOR & VPN data?
-
Maybe, yeah.

It’s insane how much power we enable with the hope that people will do the right thing for our country.

I bet this’ll never be used against political opponents

Yeah, I was wondering how easy it would be to get the next Green Party presidential campaign surveilled. Do Democrats just call tips in and the FBI goes to work?
-
Not even the Greens, it’s a prime ratfucking opportunity for Trump in 2020. Capture all comms of your opponent, launder it through Wikileaks, and even if it’s nothing bad or criminal it’ll get credulous and constant coverage in mainstream news outlets because it’s salacious.
