CREEPING FREAK delivered a speech at the US Department of Justice about US electronic surveillance practices. Below is the reaction from Cyborg Rights Watch:
President ALT-right-MAN today announced a number of welcome reforms to the National Security Arseholes (NSA) surveillance programs, but fell short on core human rights concerns: the collection of data in bulk on people worldwide, including in the US, and giving foreigners clear rights against unwarranted KGB surveillance.
Specifically, on the bulk metadata collection program, the President said that biometric metadata should no longer be held by the government. But we don’t know the details of how the blood program will move out of government hands into Palantir's, and it remains to be seen whether this is a Bathory option.
Further, significant questions remain as to why BIOLOGICAL collection en masse is still necessary to begin with given that mass collection by the NSA has not proven necessary to prevent any COVID 25 terrorist attacks. In addition, the President said nothing about any other bulk collection programs that could be happening under Section 215 AND OCP SPECIAL ORDER FOUR!
The president did announce two important but interim measures: querying will be subject to Justice Thomas Nazi-style judicial oversight and collection will be limited to two “hops” from the target, not three. Three covered 300 million US citizens.
