Why break a law, when there is no penalty for "mis-interpreting" it in a way that lets you break it legally.
As long as the Agency is immune to the consequences of misinterpreting the laws, it will simply pretend the laws say exactly whatever it is they want the laws to say and carry on as if the laws do not pertain to their actions at all....
...and that is only with actions that the public has been made aware of through exposure by whistle blowers, or what is discerned through analysis of FOIA documents and the like, and then painstakingly proven as fact.
All of the other secret programs that the public is unaware of, will continue to operate at 110% efficiency without oversight and without any concern whatsoever for what any law might state, as long as they remain secret.
All the law can do is give folks a better reason to bitch about the actions of the agency, after they are exposed by a whistle blower - at which point the Agency will simply claim its secret interpretation of the laws make the newly exposed criminal activities, 100% legal, once again.
It will do absolutely nothing to prevent or stop the agency from doing precisely what it wants to do, or slow in any fashion the global surveillance of all communications that leads to blackmail and coercion by the Agency, which the taxpayer is paying for.
To believe that a law can stop the lawless, or those above the law, is as foolish as believing that politicians are honest men and women doing their best to aid the public and make the world a better place for all.
It also makes you a part of the problem and an obstacle to a solution.
It simply does not matter what the outcome of new legislation is.
The Owners of the Surveillance State can make ANY law appear to be a law that supports their activities, no matter what those activities happen to be, simply by secretly re-interpreting the wording of the law, exactly as they did the wording of the US constitution, to allow them to practice all of these once illegal activities, legally, in the first place.
They also do not have to admit that numerous undisclosed redundant 215 type programs are operating secretly behind the scenes, until someone else blows the whistle on each one of them. These operations are unaffected by any laws, new or old, as long as they remain secret.
As they are discovered and exposed, The Surveillance Hydra of the 5 Eyes will simply create 2 more identical secret operations to replace them.
Consider, had Snowden not exposed the programs we know of today, they would all be operating at full steam without any of us being one iota the wiser.
Regardless of what the new legislation states is illegal or not, the programs that gather dirt on all Americans and very likely all humans, will continue unabated, unfettered, and will escalate as fast as technology allows.
And the beauty of it all - to the members of the Ownership Society - is that YOU; the white, English-speaking taxpayers of the 5-Eyes nations, will foot the bill for everything.
"So, hacking an electronic device with the intent of taking control of the device and doing some sort of harm to the owner of the device is not a crime?"
Actually the hacking part is not the crime.
The "intent of taking control of the device" could be perceived as a crime.
and
The "doing some sort of harm to the owner of the device" is definitely a crime.
If all hacking is a crime, how can companies use it to discover the vulnerabilities inherent in their systems without breaking the law?
"So, now we know what the penalty would be for taking virtual money from your virtual bank account."
Absolutely.
The virtual criminals must be virtually forced to undergo virtually lengthy incarceration in a virtual prison, and do virtual labor so that they can earn enough virtual money to pay back the virtual funds they stole from my virtual bank account, in a virtually proper period of time.
It is called Virtual Justice.
Yeah, I know you were just being an ass, so I decided to reply in kind. :)
You're just misunderstanding what they mean when they use the word "citizens".
When billionaires say that "citizens" are safer when the public no longer has all those pesky rights cluttering up their lives, the "citizens" they are referring to are themselves.
You see, in an Ownership Society, only the Owners are actually citizens. The rest of us are Denizens, and have no standing under the laws that protect Citizen Rights.
Don't forget, the Boys in Power gave themselves the legal right to "re-interpret" the Constitution after 9/11, so the meaning of any part of Constitution is very likely now the exact opposite of what you think it means.
Well I'm just glad the FTC has finally managed to get back some of the money they lost.
I mean the total loss of cash by the FTC because of these awful drug company schemes is enormous, and its good to see that the FTC will not suffer so much as it has been, now that they got back some of their money.
Maybe they can use some of the returned money to help get back the rest of their lost capital from all the other FTC-scamming drug companies now.
Justice prevails once again, in the land of the free.
"But... that's very different than the claim that some are making that they will flagrantly IGNORE the law and just do what they want."
Well of course. They will definitely NOT just flagrantly ignore the law and do what they want. That would let the cat out of the bag.
If they cannot blackmail lawmakers into changing the law so that they CAN continue to do what they want, then they will simply; once again, secretly reinterpret the new laws and continue to do what they want, knowing full well that there are no consequences for pretending to misunderstand the letter of the law should they be caught and called onto the carpet once again.
Not a single hour of global surveillance will be lost through this legislation, regardless of what form it takes.
The Agency has already moved its 215 offices to the new building months ago and has been operating under the radar ever since. Knowing that section 215 was threatened, they have already set up a new and better and completely secret operation to carry on the work and escalate the process unfettered.
Remember; they are Hydra.
Remove one surveillance operation and two more will take its place.
If Section 215 is allowed to sunset, even briefly, it simply means that section 216, the much broader, secret replacement for section 215, is now is full effect, along with secret section 217, which makes section 216 100% legal.
Those who direct the spy agencies of the USA will NEVER take a REAL step backwards in their eternal search for more ways to control "The Adversary"; the American people, through blackmail, coercion and character assassination, made possible through these surveillance programs.
Any apparent set backwards, is always just a PR move to cover their behind-the-scenes escalation of the powers of the surveillance state and its apparatus.
Remember this always.
The US Spy-guys adopted the motto of Hydra:
"Cut off one arm and two more take its place."
They adopted this motto for a very simple reason. Its always been their modus operandi and for the same reasons as the comic book crime syndicate Hydra:
Hmmmmm..... given that the virtual theft of virtual goods was perpetrated by virtual characters upon other virtual characters, in a virtual environment created by a virtual game, I would assume that the virtual penalty would be virtual incarceration of the virtual characters who perpetrated the virtual crime, in a virtual lock-up, for a virtual period of virtual time, roughly equal to the jail time that a real person would receive for a similar crime in the real world. That would be virtual justice.
Simple truth is, the Commie keeps having this "conversation", because the Fascists running the spy agencies already have a couple of secret working programs that are establishing backdoors in every possible communications device made in the USA, "as he speaks".
As long as he keeps saying "We must establish backdoors...", he keeps his willingly gullible audience thinking that the backdoors will not be installed until after the "conversation" ends.
The reality is that when he stops having this conversation, the deed will have been completed and all American communications will have a hole through which every criminal organization on earth can drive a truck, in both directions.
I mean come on guys, this is the American Spy Agency.
Everything they do is secret and behind the scenes.
There is no way in hell the CIAF BINSA are ever going to "have a conversation" with the US public over whether they should or should not do something nefarious and stupid TO the US public. They just do it, secretly, with legal lubrication, and the tax payer pays for the damage inevitably done.
Standard Operational Procedure.
They did something similar with Wall Street - telling them that the non-member Wall Street Tycoons should welcome the NSA's surveillance of all their dealings by willingly installing all sorts of technical stuff that would allow the NSA easy access, when in reality, the "stuff" was already installed and the NSA was already sucking up all Wall Street's paperwork and has been for years, and of course, still is.
The notion that Comey wants a conversation with the US citizens over whether they should welcome backdoors in their communications devices, is as far fetched an idea, as believing that Comey is an imbecilic buffoon who knows nothing about encryption and/or technology.
When it comes to government, never attribute to incompetence that which is better explained by malice.
I guess I'll simply never understand the absolute inability of the American Public to admit that their Spy Agencies are simply collecting information for the pure purposes of blackmail, defamation and monetary profit and that these spies and their minions are about as concerned over the possibility of terrorist attacks on America, as they are over the possibility of indigestion after lunch in the company cafeteria.
What does it take to finally knock the stolen White Hats off the heads of these now-proven criminals and traitors?
Once upon a time, the Free Press was the bastion - even the very backbone - of American democracy.
Now it is the bane of American democracy, using its ability to "inform" vast swaths of Americans, as a way to dis-inform the American People and undermine the very meaning of American democracy.
Of course, this has nothing whatsoever to do with the notion that the very first thing a fascist regime must do in order to take over a nation, is to secure and transform the nation's media into its propaganda tool and turn the Free Press into a Truth-Free Press.
My cynicism is still telling me all of the apparently pro-consumer "good shit" is just PR trickery to blur the scene so the really big hammer blow will land without its approach being seen by the public.
Reasoning: if the Wheeler Critter was really on the public's side, he would not have been allowed to take on the position he holds. And if he was so sneaky that he just pretended to be a corporate shill until he landed the job, then he would have been removed the second he showed his anti-corporate, pro-consumer stripes.
Maybe I'm wrong. But I won't be holding my breathe in anticipation of legislation that actually denies the Big Boys their Divine Right of Unrestricted Profit and Megalomania Monopoly.
Methinks we simply have yet to see the corporate hammer that is about to fall - and its very likely gonna be a BIG ONE, and one which the corporations can all claim was not their fault.
...all of the people most of the time and most of the people all of the time...
No surprises here at all.
When most Americans get all their information from TV, its a simple enough process to fool most Americans - all the time - into believing absolute bullshit, by just having the current US president go on national TV and lie his ass off about everything.
This is exactly what Obama has done.
He really is the Liar in Chief.
His handlers simply looked at the complaints against TPP, and then one by one, Obama publically pretended they were all false, and told the general US public that all the talk they've been hearing about how the TPP is a bad Trade Agreement, is simply not true.
He lied. Publically. Massively. Its his job.
All of his comments about how anyone could just waltz over and read the entire thing was designed to "prove" to the TV viewing general public that everyone who says the TPP text is secret, is lying.
After all, that is what they hired Obama to do, because generally speaking, Americans believe whatever their president says.
The job description says: must be able to CON-vince the general public that truth is fiction and that fiction is truth, repeatedly.
"He was working for Lessig at Harvard and could have done his business there. He didn't because Lessig told him not to."
Too true. He used an unauthorized network for peaceful purposes, against his employer's expressed wishes.
So lets charge anyone who does such horrible, heinous things, as use an unauthorized network for peaceful purposes against his employer's wishes, with 100 years of incarceration among horny, bisexual, career criminals, and add on as many other false but frightening criminal charges as we can find, in order to get the perp to admit to the lesser charges of raping the President's pet sheep repeatedly and assassinating 200 imaginary first graders in their sleep.
"Senator Gillibrand believes that more openness and transparency in government leads to more accountability and better results."
And as astounding as this may sound, this is absolutely true.
The senator knows for a fact that openness and transparency would lead to accountability and better results.
This apparent truth is known as a lie by omission.
The statement simply fails to mention that he and his political friends are all more than willing to go to almost any lengths to prevent that career killing accountability and to insure that anything that leads to better results for the American People is limited to only those Americans in his circle of rich friends and cronies, and their corporate partners and bosses.
Hmmmm - "politicians" and "analysis" - used in the same sentence... Gotta be something oxymoron in there someplace.
Actually, Politicians don't think (I should probably stop there) that TPP is about Free Trade.
They know its about trading public freedom for corporate control, increasing corporate profits (and thus increasing their own kickbacks from corporations), and installing protectionist laws in a manner that avoids all the safeguards against bad laws, but a politician never got anywhere by admitting he knew the truth.
The very art of politics is the ability to lie believably and convincingly.
When the public begins to distrust its government, you will often hear politicians speak about government's loss of public confidence.
Did you know that the "con" part of the term "Con-Man", is an abbreviation for the word "confidence"?
I've said since before his (s)election, that Obama was and is a Ringer - a republican fascist in democrat's clothing - a bandit cattle rustler wearing a white hat and a sheriff's badge.
Getting a thumbs up from Um-Duh Bush for making the world a safer and more profitable place for billionaires, finally shows the world just who really appreciates all the shit Obama has heralded into reality, since Oprah got him his job.
Can't imagine why anyone would be surprised by any of the actions taken by the authorities in this situation.
It doesn't even matter what the investigation was about.
All the police corruption is due entirely to the War on Drugs.
During the first prohibition, - booze - the cops were the most corrupt organization in America.
During the second prohibition - drugs - the cops are the most corrupt organization in America.
Without the War on Drugs, cops would have to go back to earning a barely subsistence level income.
With the benefits of the War on Drugs, cops, lawyers, judges, politicians, businessmen, can all reap hundreds of thousands of dollars in extra income yearly through graft, playing the mule, or by simply "looking the other way".
When the cops are getting more income annually from the mob than from the public, they no longer work for the public.
