If they put cameras in your bathroom and you are not aware, your privacy wasn’t violated.
This was the Chairman of the US Intelligence Committee
It’s not a crime if it’s not discovered?
Someone ought to tell his wife to get STI tests done pronto.
To a Republican? The answer is a resounding yes!
And if it is discovered, it is the fault of the person discovering obviously.
Did you really get raped, or did the roofie I put in your drink do its job?
Giggity
And somehow voyeurism is still illegal.
What do you MEAN ‘if we don’t know’??
EVERYBODY FUCKING KNOWS
Mike Rogers deserves to not ever feel safe or secure. I hope he dies.
If I kill someone without them noticing I would not be a murderer by that logic.
This is the type of motherfucker to say:
“Well I raped you while you were drunk asleep, and you didn’t wake up, so was it really rape?”
The American intelligence apparatuses had been using this line of reasoning to legalize their illegal operations from the start: computers collecting data on citizens are not committing ‘surveillance’. If a human needs to assess that data then they apply for a rubber stamp from the state to allow surveillance of a human, but for the computer to collect and asses? There was never a need to seek authorization: it’s not surveillance. Computers collecting data and autonomously acting on that data–even to kill–can never be illegal. Welcome to the United State of Ammerikkka.
That’s to say: it never mattered. The verbal affluent to legitimize what they’re doing is just that. To people ignorant of computers it may have sounded reasonable back then, given it was dressed up enough, but in the day of computer-controlled economies and warfare I don’t think it can stand anymore even to a moron.
It can’t change though as changing would necessitate all the current political and economic structures to change: to voluntary put in excruciating effort to give up power. Not only are you asking those in power to debase themselves, but to also debase all those around them. It cannot happen.
What can happen and what should happen is that you should act. You are in control of you: liberate your computers. Not only is this something that is possible, but you are also empowering yourself. When you do this you inversely disempower the polities and economic controls that are superstructures built on this foundation of computer-surveillance and -manipulation.
This is the guy Abdul El-Sayed is running against.
Hey look, yet another GQP talking point that boils down to not understanding (or willfully dismissing) the idea of consent. Rapists one and all.
People in the US have less privacy rights than Chinese people. They have the amount of privacy that corporations permits.
“You can’t have a home invasion if you don’t know the robber is hiding in the closet”
Alrighty, so we’ll install hidden cameras in all the showers in your home. You won’t know about it, so you won’t mind either
i thought that guy had sworn off suits for good
How in my bathroom? Like in the bidet?
