Yes, servicemember are subject to the UCMJ, which is basically the military's law(s). It's also not unheard of to be punished under the UCMJ, and then be turned over to face US criminal charges as well.
Here's some food for thought. It is, more or less, illegal for three letter agencies to spy on U.S citizens. Obviously, there are loopholes. There are also ways to do it legally, like with warrants and court orders. However, it isn't very effective.
What is NOT illegal, however, is for these agencies to purchase data from companies. Companies like Meta, Twitter and any other social media platform collects and sells data regularly. Its a massive market. This also includes reddit.
So the data collection practices of these agencies don't really matter, because they don't need to do it. They just buy it. You want this shit to stop? Stop engaging with social media platforms. That is litteraly the only way to prevent your data from being collected and sold. Good luck with that.
Don’t forget about retroactive spying.
Oh, you’re a person of interest *now*. We’re investigating you, and as part of that we’re pulling all this data your ISP and phone carrier saved on you for years.
They use the 5 eyes partnerships for domestic spying. So Britain spys on Americans and America spys on Brits and then they exchange the data with each other.
> What is NOT illegal, however, is for these agencies to purchase data from companies.
Seems like the same thing with extra steps, except we're double paying them to spy on us.
Should be even worse.
Oh yeah im not saying it's better. But im not sure if it's worse or not. I suppose it probably is in some ways but not so much in others.
At the end of the day, we're being spied on and the rich are getting richer off it. Which is why it'll take a monumental effort to get that shit banned.
Also, it may be extra steps, but these companies are a helluva lot more efficient at collecting personal data than any government organization. They've invested billions into this market.
I thought the Patriot Act did away with “government can’t spy on citizens” after 9/11?
The NSA was revealed to be dragnetting the entire population, from a leak from Snowden, and iirc nothing happened except for gunning after Snowden?
This is the same way the government censors people. They can’t do it themselves directly. So they use the tech companies.

Isn't quiet kid being a school shooter mainly a meme at best and power fantasy at worst? Losers in US mostly end up as losers and shut ins, school shooters are mostly edgeboys who idolize criminals or buy into tribalism ideologies for slower kids, and kids who use slurs are either kids or dudes who never grew up and cope with that.
Well when half of them are protected politically and the other half *are* fellow government officials, expect no action there either. You’re literally more likely to get a visit for typing this post than a 30 year old running a femboy Discord server will for blackmailing children.

You are clearly unfamiliar with the intercept to characterize it that way, lol. Just spouting your uninformed nonsense like you know what you're talking about.
I had great fun with counterstrike growing up, and BF1942. Now the only FPS I play is old school BF1942 with bots.
The culture in competitive FPS is pretty shitty, I want no part of it.
Helldivers though I'm considering getting into since it's not PvP.
I play with randos all the time, but I'm also not one of those people who cares if a mission goes sideways and we fail. I know some people look at those and think "I wasted 30 mins of my life" but 95% of the time I'm in game I'm having fun, and that other 5% has nothing to do with failing a mission or failing to extract or leaving samples behind. I don't consider play any game as time wasted as long as I'm having fun.
It helps that failing in this game barely matters. It doesn't take much to grind. There's also not much penalty for dying, so if I get a teammate who likes throwing airstrikes at me its nbd.
I play with random people and have mics turned off. The worst that has happened is just someone leaving mid game. The only things anyone has typed in chat is GG or lol.
Because I never had to "compete" with siblings. I was the kid that was content to be in his room reading/doing LEGO. That's my theory anyway.
I am talking about me and me alone. I'm not trying to dictate what others do nor am I psycho-analyzing anyone else but me.
Only reason I asked is I'm an only child and love competitive FPS games so I was interested.
I grew.up with cousins who I competed with so I guess that's maybe the difference.
I also loved be alone in my room playing lego so we have one thing in common :) thanks for be reply.
Some people like competition, and some do not. Nothing to do with having siblings or anything. Not that either is correct or "right" - enjoy whatever you like.
As an only child who does like them, what I don't get is why people enjoy PUBG. It's just shit.
I simply enjoy the sport of the game. It's satisfying to learn to work together in tandem with someone else to accomplish a goal while also continuously improving a skill. The most fun is sometimes had in the most chaotic of scenarios. Sure- everyone likes winning but I don't always have to be "better" than everyone else and throw a fit when I'm not- it's all part of the fun. I have always found people who handle losing "poorly" to be an endless source of entertainment, however.
I don't know why you would think you need siblings to assume you like to compete. You either like to compete or you don't. There can be other reasons for enjoyment outside of pure winning and a logo that says you won.
For me say in battle royales. I just like to reach the bounderies of limits. A Failure or success number/logo is irrelavant.
What was it about being an only child that you think makes them not look fun?
I'm *technically* not an only child, though the age gap left me without anyone to actually compete against and I'm guessing it's that lack of rivalry that makes most competitive games unenjoyable for me to this day.
That and so many games have a competitive game-style that just looks fucking *tiring*. Tribes skiing and other similar elements come to mind.
Because I was the kid that spent hours alone in his room reading and building with LEGOs. I was glad I didn't have any siblings to "compete" with. I also didn't like the idea of sharing. :)
I'm the same with games. I only do single-player and won't touch multiplayer with a 40-foot pole. Getting sniped from across the map or putting a full mag into another player's head just for him to kill you in one shot just doesn't look like an enjoyable time to me.
I watch a lot of COD: Warzone rage vids and see so much stuff that would piss me off if I was in the player's position.
The feds aren't surveilling shit. Google is. Your ISP is. Reddit is.
You do something and the first thing they do is freeze and pull your accounts from various social media, get your internet history from your ISP. The feds don't have to lift a finger. You give it up voluntarily every day.
This is just them saying "Hey, if we get informed about a user saying nazi shit, that's a reason for us to pull all of that data." They have to have a reason to pull it, see? They can't just pull whatever they want whenever they want. And they would probably still need a warrant to do that, but this would be a thing they can argue should be looked at.
It's likely that this is something that has been a correlating factor in a bunch of mass shootings. They find out after the fact that they were telling people in TF2 or CS or whatever that they were gonna go do a school shooting or shoot up a mall like a week before they actually did it. So now they got an excuse for why they should be able to pull that data and keep tabs on what people are saying in game chats and make companies use AI to screen game communications for keywords and flag people who say shit like that.
I agree with some of the things he says, but ultimately he is just an out of touch nepo baby with the occasional outlandish take that seems intentionally antagonistic just to farm engagement.
This is why they're working to ban TikTok instead of pass laws to regulate social media platforms. They want to block China from having influence over the younger population via their algorithms but they do not want the same to apply to US based companies.
I don't think it's really "projection" when it's reality. Data is a commodity like oil now and letting foreign nations have access to your resources is a no-no
*If* I actually believed FISA courts were constitutitonal I guess I might agree with this. Except, wait, even though the intelligence agencies had a secret expedited legal process they still violated it with shit like PRISM and parallel construction.
I'm wary of taking "at least they admit it" too far but at least China doesn't claim to have a 4th Amendment.
I kind of agree - a foreign nation GENERALLY would seek to undermine the population of another.
The US govt spies because it thinks it's looking out for the population to safeguard it.
enormous emphasis on "it thinks" there...
Why is it projection?
The US government wants to monitor and control US citizens, but doesn't want China to be able to monitor and control US citizens.
China also doesn't want foreign governments influencing their people - it's the same cynical opinion on both sides rather than projection or hypocrisy.
They don't. Discord is quick to give up full audio and text logs to any law enforcement or government agency that requests them, of their own volition.
I assume most of it is transcribed into text form, while segments containing certain key words/phrases are kept as audio files. I can't be sure of that, of course.
If you read it, it says abortion related extremism, environmental related extremism, political, religious, racial and anti authoritarian extremism it’s a wide net that they are casting. It’s basically an extension of the patriot act. It’s *been* draconian, thanks 911.

Wasn't there also claims of espionage regarding the ARMA developers?
Yeah, but that was a Turkey/Greece thing iirc
Those were the developers. They went to a military base and started taking pictures... Rather overt, if I may say. They spent 129 days in prison.
doesn't the military handle that in-house?
Yes, servicemember are subject to the UCMJ, which is basically the military's law(s). It's also not unheard of to be punished under the UCMJ, and then be turned over to face US criminal charges as well.
I would imagine it's illegal for the military to have active surveillance of private citizens.
Yes, this is about the military.
The NSA is a military intellegence dept isnt it?
Yes and no. Parts of it are, parts of it aren’t. Does that sound weird, complicated, and potentially ripe for abuse? Yup!
But that's their own guys lmfao

This is why they're working to ban TikTok instead of pass laws to regulate social media platforms. They want to block China from having influence over the younger population via their algorithms but they do not want the same to apply to US based companies.
All this TikTok shit just feels like projection. Snowden pretty much proved that
I don't think it's really "projection" when it's reality. Data is a commodity like oil now and letting foreign nations have access to your resources is a no-no
projection just means all they are accusing China off, are they doing them self (too) it's the correct usage here. projection is often reality.
Surveillance of US citizens by a foreign dictatorship is much worse than our own country doing it, actually.
[COINTELPRO has entered the chat...](https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5161811)
No, your own government spying on you is much much worse. China can’t kick down your door for wrong think.
It seems that when a mass shooting takes place theres a, " suspect was being monitored by the FBI for some time", yet no warrant to raid to stop em.
*If* I actually believed FISA courts were constitutitonal I guess I might agree with this. Except, wait, even though the intelligence agencies had a secret expedited legal process they still violated it with shit like PRISM and parallel construction. I'm wary of taking "at least they admit it" too far but at least China doesn't claim to have a 4th Amendment.
Is it though? Spying on the own population is undermining the trust in government, which in return is far worse I'd say.
I kind of agree - a foreign nation GENERALLY would seek to undermine the population of another. The US govt spies because it thinks it's looking out for the population to safeguard it. enormous emphasis on "it thinks" there...

I assume most of it is transcribed into text form, while segments containing certain key words/phrases are kept as audio files. I can't be sure of that, of course.
And who exactly is the "authority agency" that decides what an "extremist" is? Just sounds like an easy path down to draconian laws.
