‘Eyes Everywhere’: Congress Is About to Vote to Expand Mass Surveillance of Americans, Experts Warn

“There would be eyes everywhere,” Goitein told Motherboard in a phone call. “Any entity that you visit as a customer, that provides Wi-Fi service, could be required to let the government tap into its equipment, and pull out entire streams of communications.”

The Brennan Center for Justice and the Electronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC) issued a joint statement on Sunday deeming the bill a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” that would target businesses “far outside the tech sector” that “do not even have access to communications,” like libraries. The reform bill is scheduled for a floor vote on Tuesday at 4 p.m.

Torn between two fascists and on the brink of all-out surveillance, keep out of the USA. Could capitalism have something to do with this?
