New big blow to the privacy of the citizens of USA, καθώς η Γερουσία ψήφισε ένα νομοσχέδιο που δίνει στις υπηρεσίες fbi και η CIA, τη δύναμη να ελέγχει το ιστορικό του προγράμματος περιήγησής σας χωρίς κάποιο ένταλμα.
Senators Ron Wyden of Oregan and Senator Steve Daines of Montana have proposed introducing privacy into the Patriot Act, which gives law enforcement the oversight power to maintain national security.
However, the modification of privacy needs only one more vote, as many senators did not show up. (Do not hope, someone will be found)
This vote is a step backwards in protecting the privacy of US citizens on many levels. There is already a growing level of concern among privacy advocates, as governments around the world use the Koranic pandemic as a shield to introduce new surveillance measures without much debate.
Evan Greer, deputy director of Fight For The Future, a non-profit digital support group, said on the Motherboard that the Patriot Act should be abolished in its entirety:
The Patriot Act must be abolished altogether, and buried in the ground. It is one of the worst laws passed in the last century and there is no indication that the mass surveillance programs it allows have ever saved a human life.
Under Section 215 of the Patriot Act, the FBI and other agencies may request the service provider Internet που χρησιμοποιείτε τα data of your browsing without the need for a warrant.
