Been going on for a long time, still remember the day it happened to me 33 yrs ago based on being the recipient of phone calls from a phone whose owners were being investigated. Never know how you might be drawn in to things.

The current story is that they were reported by the company they work for, as they did the searches on company PC's that evidently have loggers on them.

How many people are in the US that have access to the internet?

Probably not a drastic number...

Now if it was just that group of agents... That's a shit ton.

My wife worked for a very well known broadband provider. There is a good chance you might using said broadband providers network to access this site at this very moment.

My wife was a security analyst. Her job was monitoring traffic on the network. The purpose of their monitoring was to detect Trojans, worms, pirating and child pornography. In order to detect the items I mentioned they are "supposed" to monitor bits and pieces of the traffic to detect them but not look at end user access as a whole. I can tell you that their traffic monitoring bits and pieces is on the honesty system; if they want to look at the last site you visited they can do that and they can do it back pretty much as far as they want.

With that being said ALL of your Internet usage can be easily loaded onto a drive somewhere and handed over to .gov. There's a really good chance it is handed over to .gov anytime they ask for it and you never even know your data has been inspected.

That would prob be more like the headline; feed the agenda. It wouldn't be that it was a joke to see how true it was. It would be blown out of proportion and how they saved the world! lol

You don't watch the news much do you? Nothing has to be handed over
