Privacy is only dead if we let it die.

Don't let it die.

Refuse to give it up ✊🔒

100% agreed.

I was thinking lately about all of this. There is one thing I don't understand. In most "civilized" countries when Police wants to listen to your phone conversations or get access to your text messages - they need a court warrant.
At the same time corpos do this on a daily basis without any kind of warrant.

Now, how is it possible ? Or even legal ?
They are invading your constitutional rights.

1. Corpos need to be "fixed".
2. Politicians need to be " fixed".

@as400 @Em0nM4stodon State is more restricted than companies, and for good reasons. And no, when using POTS, companies can't just spy on you. Same protections don't apply to Facebook (etc), I'm afraid.

I agree that privacy is neccessary, but I'm afraid selecting country and learning how its laws work will be needed for that...

EU may have more privacy protections than your country, in such case it may be good to study its laws :-).

@as400 @Em0nM4stodon I'm suggesting you need to state the country and the law, first.
