Stems from a dispute with microsoft who claimed that they were not legally required to produce electronic data to the US govt which was held overseas, because under current US law the govt had no authority in the matter. It also allows foreign powers to gather electronic data from US providers while circumventing existing privacy laws >Enable foreign police to collect and wiretap people's communications from U.S. companies, without obtaining a U.S. warrant. >Allow foreign nations to demand personal data stored in the United States, without prior review by a judge. >Allow the U.S. president to enter "executive agreements" that empower police in foreign nations that have weaker privacy laws than the United States to seize data in the United States while ignoring U.S. privacy laws. >Allow foreign police to collect someone's data without notifying them about it. >Empower U.S. police to grab any data, regardless if it's a U.S. person's or not, no matter where it is stored. the juice part of the bill begins on page 11 of the above supreme court docket
by foreign nations and foreign police, they mean russia and the kgb. the klapistan is now a protectorate state (read: bitch) of the russian federation now afterall. long live vladimir putin

So china or Russia could demand a US citizens info?
Well, your own government is the threat to you, not others.

US law preempts everything. That's just how it works. If a foreign country can't accept that, all they can do is block the service in their country.

We need encrypted decentralized platforms, sadly there is no business insentive to create them so we will probably never see any on a large scale

The purpose of this law is to legalize the shady practice of using allied foreign intelligence agencies to seize info. If the Brits can't get a warrant they call the FBI to get shit for them. The FBI calls the Brits when they have the same problem. The feds have been doing this for a while, but in the past they had to conceal their actions. Now it's totally legal, so they can do it whenever they like.
Samuel Bell
See - this is probably what they're going to do.
And with how shitty many of these are supervised, I don't think they'll just use this to catch Osama Bin Laden version 2 or whatever other actually terrible person...
Daniel Miller

>wypipo still think China will get with the hackey sack global government program They won't. This is explicitly for the US and EU to close ranks and police their dissidents more effectively. You get to be a big shitty oligarchy of failing economy while the east roll over you.
Jacob Ramirez
So this is what all the Trump drama was trying to hide.
Couple this with that act a while back that makes websites liable for user content and all of a sudden it makes sense.
Evan Miller
does this make it legal to wiretap anyones info without warrant? i was confused by the legal wordings, but it sure does seem that way
Ayden Perez

You have been for a long, long time.
Zachary Fisher
>because every country in the world follows US law
Hey, your country is not required to comply with this law, but we are not required to not put a 300% tax on anything you import from us either. 3000% on foodstuffs.
Better to avoid all that headache and just send the data over. You save a lot of grief to your citizens that way, and it's election year.
Aaron Nguyen
>allowing foreign governments to de.and data stored in the US Why the hell was this even attached to a US budget plan? This doesn't even benefit our own government unless they want to use puppet states to pull info on citizens without a paper trail.
Lucas Butler
I'm convinced that this is how they're going to pass the next Sopa. How the fuck is attaching unrelated riders on "must-pass" legislation legal?

Juan Fisher
Thats the only way to get things passed, just add them to the end of a bill that has to be passed and say you aren't approving it unless this extra thing is coming with it
Jaxon Barnes
>hurr hurr nothin to hide nothin to fear
Tyler Cooper
>And we are not required to buy anything from you, especially when you price yourself out of the market.
But all those other countries on the market are required to raise prices too, otherwise they get into a lot of "diplomatic" trouble.

>US citizens *had* protection from unlawful search and seizure >feds use technology to violate citizens’ rights >citizens protest unconstitutional law enforcement activities >statists accuse citizens of being criminals using “rock solid” logic of NUTHIN HID NUTHIN FEER
hey statist - I wouldn’t have to hide if the feds weren’t violating the constitution. everyone has a private life dipshit.
It started with terrorism, then drug enforcement. Next criminal porn, murderers, fugitives. Now immigrants and international travelers. And the kicker? POLITICAL OPPONENTS.
So yeah, you say you’ve got nothing to hide. But all your secrets are belong to them. So sleep tight in your ignorance statist. Nanny government will take good care of you.
I myself plan to keep fighting for my liberty and my god damned rights. With force if I have to.
