Feds seek Google records in pornography probe

  1. “Experience should teach us to be most on guard to protect liberty when the Government’s purposes are beneficent. Men born to freedom are naturally alert to repel invasion of their liberty by evil-minded rulers. The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well-meaning but without understanding.”

    —United States v. Olmstead, 277 U.S. 438, 479 (1925) (Brandeis, J., dissenting)

  4. Again, these posts are fine, I agree in some respect. I think some opinions are a bit extreme, thats all.

    You do not know that the information released cannot be tracked to individuals.

    As the MSN article states:

    A link to the history of the Child Online Protection act:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child_Online_Protection_Act

    So it appears the government wants to pry into the private actions of people in order to prove their case that the Online Child Protection act should not have been struck down. Again, a slippery slope and an abuse of power.

  6. Im not a government official, therefore I dont know.
    Nobody here has a thing to worry about unless you are involved in said crimes. Unless you're downloading kiddie porn or attempting to blow up Americans, guys in suits and black sunglasses aren't going to show up at your door.

  7. A slippery slope and abuse of power? If this escalates beyond terror/ porn, yes I agree, it is abuse of power.
