If You Use Tor Browser, The FBI Just Labeled You a Criminal

Sanders · 05-05-2016, 10:58 AM

So, if you want privacy, then you are automatically considered a criminal by the government.

Quote:

The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday quietly approved a rule change that would allow a federal magistrate judge to issue a search and seizure warrant for any target using anonymity software like Tor to browse the internet.

Absent action by U.S. Congress, the rule change (pdf) will go into effect in December. The FBI would then be able to search computers remotely—even if the bureau doesn’t know where that computer is located—if a user has anonymity software installed on it.

The rule changes, which the FBI said were necessary to combat cyber crime, come amid escalating tensions between the intelligence community and technology and privacy advocates, and just a day after the U.S. House of Representatives advanced a bill that would require the government to obtain a probable cause warrant from a judge before seizing data stored with tech companies such as Facebook, Google, and Dropbox.

This has been around before. There's nothing on the SCOTUS site for this.

Eventually there will come a time that if you have Internet access you
will automatically be under suspicion.

For something .....

I was thinking governments wanted all computers connected to the net so they could watch out for us.

Pass Classified government documents from a home-based private server across unsecured networks? "No criminal intent"... From a proven Federal Felons no less.

Stealing from the White House and getting away with it bought them what they have now.

LOL! Nothing to laugh at but at the point we're at we might as well...

It's all downhill from here
