>Critically, while Section 702 does not allow the NSA to target Americans at the outset, vast quantities of our communications are still searched and amassed in government databases simply because we are in touch with people abroad. And this is the bait-and-switch: Although the law allows surveillance of foreigners abroad for “foreign intelligence” purposes, the FBI routinely exploit this rich source of our information by searching those databases to find and examine the communications of individual Americans for use in domestic investigations.

How would they know I’m using a VPN unless they’re already spying on me

I thought that was pretty common knowledge about vpn traffic? Kind of like why you don’t use a VPN on TOR so you don’t stand out.
Before the idea was that anyone on a vpn is some type of L33t hacker but not its legitimately to get around all the internet blocks.
If you are in the U.S. and your VPN end point is in Europe I’ve noticed you actually have an option to decline website cookies unlike when I just go directly to the site state side.

Let’s think about this a bit. Restrictions on mass surveillance are only about US citizens. Everybody else is fair game already. So 50% of redditors, nothing new to see here, just a storm in an American teacup. You can breathe easy and carry on, nothing has changed.

They’re going to do this shit regardless. Why not run a VPN and make it difficult.

They don’t have to spy, I’ll gladly send them a list of the porn I’m watching. All classic plot-based 70’s/80’s stuff.

Sounds like this is from US service providers. I would definitely go with a VPN that isn’t owned by by an American or Israeli company if you don’t want to be spied on

Not to kink shame but spying on my VPN usage is an impressive yet concerning level of voyeurism.

What are they gonna do? Spy on us even harder?

If you are NOT on an FBI watchlist by now you should be ashamed of yourself.

Wtf. I thought we already knew this?
I wasn’t using a VPN to protect against State level actors. That’s nearly impossible. I’m using it so I dont get tracked by ads so when I go to buy groceries they raise the price on me. Dynamic prices are going to fuck us all.

If they watch me maturbate, can they at least send me copies.

Is there anything, other than throwing all my devices in a bog and becoming a a bog witch (which I feel is a doubtful career choice) that won’t subject me to NSA spying?

So like, are they watching porn with me? Or what?

Time to fire up that VPN and make the NSA agent assigned to me see some of the craziest WTF futanari shit I can find. Mother fuckers going to need bleach for their eyes.

Fine. Hope they enjoy PornHub.
What, is that not what people use VPNs for, primarily? Not for hiding sensitive information, but avoiding geolocks and the like?

If your threat model includes the NSA, you have many problems.

Im fucked by the NSA like 4 years ago.
Not using a VPN may also subject you to NSA spying.
“Let us see inside your house and mind at all times, or else you’re a criminal. We will kill you, we’re not ‘woke.’”

Nothing to see here, NSA. I’ll be done in just a few minutes.
Lol they couldn’t catch even child sex racket, what can they even do?
Pretty sure I’m already on a watch list. Don’t give a fuck.
I think Edward Snowden exposed something like this a few years back. I’m constantly amazed that anyone is surprised by this shit.
I assume that I am always subject to NSA spying. I believe Snowden was telling the truth. Also that he is a hero.
NSA will spy on you with or without a VPN. ISP and websites will spy on you less with a VPN.
Well they watch nsfw stuff too lol
Make sure to leave your Telescreen always switched on.
I hate it here
The Chinese Post Office has been a Certificate Authority since 2000.
Everybody is spying on us. Thankfully, I’m boring, but I still would prefer some privacy.
This looks like another extension of Section 702 of FISA that the government uses for backdoor searches on Americans. Here’s a description of the issue from the [ACLU](https://www.aclu.org/news/national-security/five-things-to-know-about-nsa-mass-surveillance-and-the-coming-fight-in-congress).
