Our government just reauthorized section 702, which allows domestic law enforcement agencies (fbi, etc.) to conduct warrantless search for us citizens in databases created by agencies tasked with prosecuting noncitizens (cia, dhs, ins).

So the noncitizen agencies are using mass surveillance technology and techniques to create a huge database of everything and it’s fine because they don’t have jurisdiction to use it against citizens, then domestic law enforcement is allowed to go searching in it with no warrant due to a legal side door.

FBI 702 searches were used against the January 6 people though, so it’s good. Literally reauthorizing the domestic surveillance state every year because it could be used on political enemies.

To hear the spook watchers talk about it, cia is pissed because there’s an outside chance fbi will get the new toy taken away.

 

Lots of ppl in the “stay with .ee/hook up with shit” thread said everything is fedi drama. They’re not wrong.

There’s a new kind of posting in the air and it’s suffused everything. It must be given space to grow without interfering with the other posts.

If we had a lemmydrama and/or a lemmydunks comm and quarantined that stuff there it would allow for avoidance of fediverse stuff and give space for lemmy drama and dunking culture to develop.

Thedunktank is for non-fediverse shit. Twitter, Facebook, etc. it should stay how it is.

It wouldn’t stop the problem of federation stealing our posting energy but it’s a start to help people who don’t want to see the new hotness lib of the week.

Pic unrelated.
