That’s always been the problem with surveillance, but these twats never seemed to realize it when they brought it up. How fucking stupid can you be before you just forget to breathe for an hour or two?

It’ll never abused nor fall on the wrong hands. Never. And then it does and they act like nobody could foresee that happening. It’s infuriating.

All the data collection going on, it’ll backfire spectacularly eventually.

Not really a trump thing, as much as I despise the guy, the article says Biden pushed for this.

It’s a bad bill and shouldn’t be legal. The NSA already has so much power.
