LOL Even though I'm a fur so I don't hang around those types I still tend to see them when TPing around. It puzzles me too. I just chalk it up to "it must be a human thing..." lol. "Big corporations though - Google, Facebook, Amazon, Miscrosoft, Apple... we have no chance of stopping them..." I think the only way to hurt a big corp is in the wallet. It's like their family jewels in a way. But the problem here is EVERYONE has to hit them there for them to feel it. Sadly theres still enough people doing business with microsoft and walmart to keep them in business for a century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might have had a point and a god post if it were not for the rather delusional notion of stopping an organization born of human nature and the natural tendencies of government. The time to "stop" the NSA was back when the organization was first created. Oh - and in case you haven't noticed yet, the NSA (like any similar organization will become eventually) has grown to the point where elected officials mean nothing to them. They were running these programs well before they had even a marginal legal leg to stand on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were running these programs well before they had even a marginal legal leg to stand on. Actually that do work within and under the umbrella of the FISA court - and have adjusted course based on its advice in past. They have also been caught over-reaching a number of times. But when so caught, they pull back. Furthermore, every power they take, they get lawyers to approve first. The logic may be warped, but they do craft it. They are skewing the rules, but still trying to follow them. Contrary to conspiracy theories, they have not commited an outright coup. Though the beast is big and way out of control, it is still nothing more the a police agency wrapped up in a dragnet policy it has led itself to believe is the best solution to the problem it has been tasked to solve. Dragnets have been popular with policing agencies at several points in history - and reforms have always managed to cap them and send policing back on track, because dragnets don't produce good results. They are the product of natural overreaching and a lack of professional analysis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see this as a confrontation, Opinions are free to have to have no matter what. They are someone's thoughts, whether you or I think they are right or wrong or a developer, who is to say what one person feels is right or wrong? Not us. The creator can say what he wants, but how you or I use the end product is within the way we see it and no one can say if it's valid or not. For the record, I do not see sl as a game. I don't see how my opinion was out of left field. I responded to a post. The post had to do with if people choose to spend money in sl or not, how was that out of left field? My more accurate statement is very accurate, to me, and that is not my opinion at all. It's fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perrie Juran Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 I was thinking what some of the activity reports these agents who were logging into SL must have looked like. Maybe something like this: Agent X and myself had been tasked with infiltrating a suspected subversive group in SL. There had been some unusual comments about them in the SL Forums and it was decided that we should penetrate this group: The Bisexual Furry Skunks. Agent X and I discussed what would be the best way to proceed. At first we thought we would just log in as skunks but decided that might be too obvious and arouse the suspicion of the BFS. Looking at the pool of available Avatars, Agent X chose a Neko and I chose for myself a Purple Unicorn. We logged in and headed to Secret Refections, a SIM where there had been reports about these Skunks gathering. Hanging around the Teleport point we observed several "human" Avatars entering the SIM. We'd run there names against our Data Base but no matches were coming up. We were about to go try another SIM when a very handsome Male Ava appeared. Running his name through the data base we discovered that this account had been flagged as a top priority. It had been reported that a Martian had been sighted in SL and here in front of us was the suspect, howbeit disguised as a human. Agent X IM'd the suspect first and we attempted to engage him in conversation. After talking with the suspect for several minutes about the usual problems like lag that all SLers seem to complain about the suspect indicated that he was just going to be on his way. I knew I had to act fast if I were to hold his attention. I'd read that Martians are horny little buggers so I got right to the point. "How would you like to have a three way with us," I asked. The suspect stopped and just stood there saying nothing. After what seemed an eternal minute the Suspect spoke. "I'm flatterred but no thanks." Poof he was gone. I enterred a note in his file that an innitial contact had been made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lunar Core Posted December 12, 2013 Share Posted December 12, 2013 Lovely - and guess who appoints the judges on FISA? The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, with no political oversight whatsoever. Until a new Chief Justice is appointed, there is nothing the general public can do. Contrary to what you believe, these programs have been in operation a very long time and will continue to be in operation for years to come. The difference being that they will wait until the storm dies down as they have done with each and every overreach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
