- littlebylittle, on 10/11/2007, -3/+16They use a lot of private companies who mine data as well. The Fascists love the Internet. You can bet that every Political Post on Digg is mined. Screw you Fascist MFers. The "Powers That Be" have always hated "The Printing Press." Now much of it is digital.
- schroeder, on 10/11/2007, -6/+17Digg me down, but i hate when people don't edit the headlines/descriptions to fit the max character limit..... lazy ass people...
- AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -2/+10Terrorists this, terrorists that. God.. after 9/11 I'm wondering why the government can't see all this activity they're doing is in fact.. dare I say it? Terroriststic?
"WAR IS PEACE FREEDOM IS SLAVERY IGNORANCE IS STRENGTH." - rodgerdodger5, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6" I would give my fingerprint to Continental Airlines—the airlines I fly—in order to get through the line and be assured that I'm a safe passenger. But I don't want to do it with the government. The government is there to protect privacy, not to invade our privacy. Now our government, it does more to protect their secrecy and they violate our privacy." - Ron Paul
Edited to add that studies have been done that show that the data they are using has up to a 50 percent error rate.
RON PAUL 2008!!!!!!! - williamdyer, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Being left alone until a complaint is filed is a right.
- Bdog2g2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6I would suspect that with most social networks, the data mining is done for them. They just simply have to look at the comment threads for each individual and they would be able to paint a fairly accurate picture.
It would not be difficult for them to see that I hate Bush and Cheney and any other crooked SOB in government. - polyGone, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Insurance, itself, is a scam. We are required to have it by law and privatized companies are allowed to profit from it. There is really no limit to what they can charge and no guide to judge whether you're being charged accordingly. We constantly pay into it and then get penalized for using the service we've been paying for. It's because they bank on us not needing it. The laws regarding insurance are just as idiotic as our monetary system. Both get to profit from something we are required to have/use.

Yeah you're right. The Federal Government is just so talented at allocating its resources. - Babykitkat, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5We have not been Free since 1913

- Crad123, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Oh, so it's ok if the guy locked up is wearing a turban. If there is no Habeas Corpus, then how is anyone supposed to know if the "terrorist" even committed any crime? Let's put it this way, alot of people have been released from Gitmo, and no, they weren't charged with crimes, and yes, they were there for a long time.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Terroriststic? I can't believe I didn't see it before!
- wishninja, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I am no longer innocent until proven guilty. I no longer have the expectation of privacy. I no longer have a barrier of reasonable suspicion between me and enforcement.

- rcook18, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Can I come over to your house and paw through your personal belongings? You don't mind do you? If you have nothing to hide, why would you mind?
- bkemper, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Yeah, dig me down, but the general trend here is to dig up anyone who asks to be dug down.
- rcook18, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Are you kidding? Warrantless searches on behalf of insurance companies is good?
- escapedspecimen, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2I would have liked to hear more about how they mine
- ajrizzo, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2"I would have liked to hear more about how they mine"
... I think theres a reason they didn't go into detail. - rcook18, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Where do you think Target is getting their marketing information? You don't think the insurance companies are the only ones paying to receive the government's data-mining reports do you?
- williamdyer, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3Financial privacy and communications privacy, for two. And habeas corpus. And property rights.
- Cherubim, on 10/11/2007, -1/+3These search tools can and will be abused by the fascist pigs in government. You must be a retard to say you're ok with this.
- Banelos, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Sen. Patrick Leahy seems like a really reasonable man that tries to hold the governmental departments and programs accountable for their actions. Rare to see that in US politics where the word corruption has been replaced with lobbyism.
- polyGone, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2My point was not that insurance isn't necessary. I don't want you to pay for my "anything". I just don't think corporations should be able to profit from the fact that we must have it. Why not have something similar to Social Security (not tapped into of course)? We can pay into our insurance fund and then, when we need it, we have it. What we end up paying almost always ends up being more than we receive. I just can't stand when the federal government passes laws that boost profits for certain industries.
- njp12, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2It's amazing how this administration parallels the Nazi's. I think Keith Ellison might be on to something. This inspired me to research this for my blog, scary stuff.
nickpinkston.com - maxtangent, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2For thinking everyone would recognize sarcasm?
- maxtangent, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2What part of FREE SPEECH ZONES are you not understanding??
- daveseibert, on 10/11/2007, -0/+2Only one in six is aimed at terrorism? I thought all other problems disappeared after 9/11...
- maxtangent, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Since when does Bush care about warrants?
- maxtangent, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1How about FREE SPEECH ZONES? Sounds like a lot of critics have been silenced.
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 10/11/2007, -4/+5Insurance scams cost us all more than terrorist attacks. From fraudulent car and homeowner claims to frivolous lawsuits, to health insurance scams. We ALL pay for those losses.
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1One of the the primary objectives of the so called PATRIOT ACT is to identify and destroy the underground cash economy. W4 PAY AS YOU GO slavery for everyone........
- Cerialthriller, on 10/11/2007, -1/+2If im out on workmans comp. for breaking both my hands will looking at porn flag me for insurance fraud?
- maxtangent, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Be aware though, that in SpaceM's world, there are only ever two possibilities: the way Republicans do things and the wrong way.
- rcook18, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Good question. Where are the checks and balances?
- maddla, on 10/11/2007, -4/+5You guys think this is bad..... you should see what the chip in my arm does!
- ryanr313, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3What liberty have you lost? Can you be specific?
- inajeep, on 10/11/2007, -2/+3Yes the FBI is here to do more than track down potential terrorists. I work in the IT field and have at various times had personnel information at my fingertips. Same thing. It's not a mass conspiracy to peer into your personal lives. Is the potential there for abuse? Of course it is. Where are the checks and balances? How do you or 'they' determine what is a legitimate use of that data versus illegal access?
- Bdog2g2, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1as opposed to "alternate" emails...?
Please take your medicine before getting on digg - SpaceMonkeyZero, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2I hate to say "But Clinton..."
But who used FBI files to their political advantage? oH yeah, that was Bill and Hilary Clinton. - davidbrucelink, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Welcome to the most oppressed country in the world!
- inactive, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1"Several Senators and Congressmen have even ended up on TSA watch lists, further fueling fears that non-targeted data mining is likely to finger plenty of innocent people"
- Bdog2g2, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1the same guy who dugg you down.
can't win them all - superdupergc, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1i dont know who could have dugg you down for that
- psyjoniz, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2is anyone really suprised?
- wishninja, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1How many points do I get for saying that I "hate the feds and the cops" on dig about two of three times a day?
- SpaceMonkeyZero, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2Actually it's "Terrorists this, Identity Theft Rings that, Insurance scams this..."
Either you're with us, or you're with the ID theft rings! - Bdog2g2, on 10/11/2007, -2/+2I agree with your comment, but you told me to digg you down...so I did.
- Crad123, on 10/11/2007, -1/+1If you use your primary email address for your digg account, you deserved to be tracked.
- 2012not2112, on 10/11/2007, -0/+0Ryan313. The camps are in place. Just waiting on marshal law to go into effect. This could happen with the next fake terror attack on America by some of our Goverment Agencies.
