Top Senator Warns Sweeping New Surveillance Powers Will “Inevitably Be Misused” by Trump by everyone
the new surveillance power we currently have was abused by Bush Jr, Obama (who made it more invasive), Trump, Biden, and now Trump again.
Follow the constitution you fuckers! No more spying without a warrant!
If what Trump is going to do with the surveillance powers is exactly what it was intended the president could do with them, is it really misuse?
In software engineering, we call this “works as designed.”
Yes it sucks more that Trump specifically will weild them. But the real problem is that the office of the presidency has these powers. Not specifically which president had them.
I think non-software people call this getting their face eaten by leopards.
Our “left”-centre government party here in Germany is still trying to pass the next version of a surveillance bill, which has been struck down multiple times for being unconstitutional over the years. All the while, it is getting more and more likely that we will have our own neo-nazis in power next year.
wym neo, west germany never got rid of the og nazis in the first place https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adolf_Heusinger

Properly worded headline: Top Senator Warns Sweeping New Surveillance Powers Will “Inevitably Be Misused” by us
Yeah, let’s not pretend this isn’t absolutely a class issue. Snowden, Assange, and Manning happened under Obama. This is an “us” vs the “elites” Trump is just a convenient excuse for the next democrat to abuse these same powers and be like “well Trump was doing it”
Edit: if you don’t think the Biden administration isn’t doing the same thing right now to protect our precious “Healthcare” CEOs from another “getting even” attempt you are sadly mistaken
