What a bunch of fucking bullshit, STOP. SPYING. ON. YOUR. OWN. CITIZENS. CUNT. BAGS.
It is completely unequivocally a violation of the god damn 4th ammendment. We do not need 1984 fucking big brother breathing down our necks all the time.
This is explicitly surveillance of foreign entities. The “backdoor” described is that your communications with foreign entities can be collected because the entire comm is collected.
You can disapprove of this program (I do, for other reasons), but it is not “1984”-style surveillance.
Yeah, it kinda is, whether you think so or not. Any spying that involves warrantless collection of citizens data is a 1984 style surveillance program, nevermind that there are literally NSA programs to do this very thing to spy directly on all citizens just cuz, what if they’re terrorists or something?
The whole apparatus is disgusting, and I’m surprised to see people defending it in any sense at all.

It’s really weird to say, but I agree with Rand Paul on this issue. Found our 1% common ground.
I have no idea what Rand Paul said about this, and if he isn’t agreeing with me on this one, then he’s wrong.
Edit: Holy shit, he tried to stop the reauthorization of the bill. I can’t believe we are on the same side with this issue.

Don’t confuse “this isn’t literally 1984” with defense of the program
Thank goodness you’re here to tell us how the restraint that three-letter agencies are known for is alive and well!
