Is the Government Watching your Internet Activity?

[JohnRich 4]

News from I.T. Vibe:

Government seeks easier Internet wiretaps

"The US Justice Department has filed a petition this week to the Federal Communications Commission which requests that Internet Service Providers (ISPs) grant easier access to the FBI and other government agencies for monitoring Internet activity.

"...the petition aims to cover all forms of communication across the Internet, such as web site monitoring, instant messaging, e-mail and Internet digital telephone calls..."

If you're not doing anything illegal, you've got nothing to be concerned about.

LOL...yes, they are. But that's because I work at a government facility.



Based on my continued participation in this forum, they are obviously not paying much attention.

Never meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup!

Ditto. I usually ignore the consent to monitor window, though...

I know they are watching me closely. If I delete my email before reading it my boss gets all shitty with me.

If they are watching mine then all they see is DZ.com and a bunch of (legal) porn.

If Big Brother is going to monitor your internet action they don't have to ask permission Why because it easier to get forgiveness than permission.


Try typing in some Buzz words on the internet, wait a couple hours and look out your window
Next thing you'll notice that a different trash man is picking up your trash.

We're doomed....

Only time I have ever worn a suit to work was when I went for my ID picture.

They just watch me thru my windows and follow me in black helicopters.

Let them watch - they will find out what I have always known, I just ain't worth watching. I'm not that important.

I wouldn't really be concerend about the government watching you. The spyware and hackers out there are a much greater threat. You won't even known they have been in your system unless they decide to let you know.

Oh yea - this is old news. There was a program that made the news about a year ago that everyone found out the government was using, and was trying to get ISP to install.

eventually we will all have to learn ESP and telepathy.

now wouldn't that be cool.

By the time you read this you have already read it.

[AggieDave 6]

I don't know. They could, but why would they watch me? There are much more important people to watch.

Anyways, they'd go mad trying to keep up with my DZ.com activity ALONE, much less everything else on the 'net.

Actually, nothing has changed. As a kid back in the 60's I used to listen to Radio Moscow on the shortwave. It was political propaganda and music. I sent them a signal report with my location via United States mail. The feds came to my door, and.........that was the second time they had come!!!!

I had a hacker break into my system and set up a hidden FTP server. I only found it because my free disk space suffered a major hit. Have a firewall now.

Even better:
New P2P hacking tool

I was doing some reading on hacking habits last night...they have some pretty amazing technology, even if it is unethical. The roaming FTP and File Servers is really thinking outside the box.
