Comment on Using Metadata to Find Paul Revereparent

Comments

I'm personally not interested in using web surveillance to catch abortion bombers, the police already have very sophisticated and functional methods.

Did we need a google tap to find McVeigh?

Additionally, your comment of 'If you think the U.S. is headed in the direction of outlawing alcohol or teaching creationism is all schools, I respectfully suggest you find something different to worry about -- maybe pot... wait, we are becoming more lenient on it as well.' is very nonconstructive. To say that trends do not buck or that social opinion never sways is the height of short sightedness.

Do you think we need another constitutional amendment to augment the 4th and make data that corporations gather about us be considered private and require that the government obtain a search warrant in order to get that data from the corporations?

This is a very constructive question. I'm afraid I am not qualified to answer. I would like to think we just need to get congressional action explicitly delimiting the privacy scope as illustrated by the 4th.

I'm generally in favor of leaving the constitution technology agnostic.
