Doesn’t mean they should be allowed.

As soon as you give up they already won. It matters.

Wait, have they not already won?

Wasn't the PATRIOT act supposed to be temporary?

They’ll figure out what to do with the information later.

They will most likely use AI driven software to analyze the data and find ‘anomalies’

InappropriateTA t1_j51xqfp wrote

Yup, I am pretty certain they want the dataset so they can train an AI on records tied to known illegal activities (or just suspected nefarious behavior) and let it loose on the rest of the records.

Incorrect. PATRIOT Act + "Metadata"

That gives them the justification to sweep up records and use Metadata to see if it fits signatures. Nothing different than the whole Metadata collection unveiled by Snowden.

You're thinking about individual cases, but if they tie it to homeland security and terrorism, gives them free reign for the most part

Typical Reddit downvoting correct information. Jews4beer is right, even if the username seems wrong.

The Patriot Act did indeed expire in 2020 and no longer exists. Claiming that something is possible to do today because of the Patriot Act is therefore wrong. Patriot Act is dead.

Most of the capabilities got rolled into the USA Freedom Act

That's bc they rolled all of the abilities of the Patriot Act to the US Freedom Act and then virtue signaled on killing the Patriot Act like they were doing something good for us.

However they are allowed to buy the data from private firms, just like they are buying phone records or movement profiles when they can't get a warrant.

>If you are not awaiting trial for a financial crime it is illegal for law enforcement to access your bank records

I don't know about that. Money laundering is a crime and the US Treasury can certainly investigate it before indictment.

GoldWallpaper t1_j53amy5 wrote

This is dumb and obviously false. Even leaving aside the things others have pointed out, the whole point of investigations is to decide if someone should or should not be on trial.

Had you said something like, "Without a warrant, it is illegal for law enforcement to access your bank records" that sitll would have been wrong, but not as obviously idiotic as your actual statement.

Think harder.

Cuz they’re obedient drones working for a shell of a government who has been owned by the central banks since we privatized the federal reserve.

Remember, they need to see every transaction over $600.
But fuck if they can do anything about the crime committed byt HSBC, UBS, Wells Fargo, etc.
Or the trillions unaccounted for in defense spending.

The government is the biggest criminal.

I hate to say it , but as long as there’s been online communication; there have been the means to both capture it and analyze it. End of discussion. The world’s governments aren’t giving up there ability to spy on us all. Why would they? I tell those that who truly want anonymity to simply unplug. Nothing online is secure. Was never designed to be…..

because they can but also it should be a concern because a lot of them were involved with jan 6th or other qultist movements.
