    Privacy is not a crime.

    We all need to stop saying things like it shouldn’t be a crime, it ISNT a crime and shouldn’t have to be defended or proven as a right to have.

    This shit is supposed be illegal for them to do like this. I guess until they passed the PATRIOT act or some other “love Americas children first” act bullshit they do.

      There is nothing illegal about what the cops are doing here. Immoral? Perhaps. But not illegal.

      These services are selling your purchase history to the authorities, and as a user of these services, you agreed with that as a condition of using the services.

      Want privacy? Don’t use services that track and sell your data. Easier said than done, I know.
