A new report (PDF) lists violations of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which will expire at the end of the year unless it is renewed.

New research by the Open Tech Institute has found over 200 violations by the NSA and the FBI since the introduction of a controversial surveillance provision designed to collect foreign intelligence. Violations include over-collecting data, violating attorney-client privilege, and conducting unlawful surveillance of Americans, who are generally protected from spying under the constitution.

    This will continue as long as the house and senate are a majority Democrat or Republican and either a Democrat or Republican is president.

    The above post together with its moderation very neatly sums up everything that is wrong with the late great United States of America. Let's not expose the real problem, let's all just shove our heads in the ground (or up our asses) and pretend there is no problem. Anyone who points out there is a problem is a troll and needs to be silenced.

    In other news, chocolate rations have been increased to 35 grams and we've always been at war with East Asia.

    When there's a tie in the Senate, @VP Pence gets to vote. As he did for Betsy and for the Planned Parenthood thing. Terrific system! 🇺🇸
