Based on the search results, the key points regarding FISA and warrantless surveillance are:

1. FISA was originally passed in 1978 to allow the government to collect foreign intelligence information involving communications with "foreign powers" and "agents of foreign powers".[3][5]

2. However, the USA PATRIOT Act in 2001 expanded FISA to allow the government to obtain personal records of ordinary Americans from libraries and the internet, even without a connection to terrorism.[5]

3. Recent amendments to FISA, such as the Protect America Act, have further authorized the government to use FISA to conduct warrantless surveillance on Americans, bypassing constitutional protections.[5]

4. There is significant controversy and criticism around these expansions of FISA, with civil liberties groups like the ACLU arguing that FISA is being used to make an "end-run around the Constitution" and allow warrantless spying on American citizens.[5]

5. The search results indicate that while FISA was originally intended for foreign intelligence gathering, it has been repeatedly expanded to enable warrantless domestic surveillance, which has drawn strong opposition from privacy advocates.[3][5]

So in summary, yes the search results suggest that FISA has been used to allow warrantless wiretapping and surveillance of American citizens, despite the original intent of the law. This has been a major source of controversy and criticism.[5]

Not a good omen

Damn commies

Nice 😎

Is that John Connor and Ron Jeremy?

But but all the other tech companies are doin it! Come on Elon don’t be a spoil sport to tyranny.

It’s likely this is a real question they ask in universities now.

Checkmate ♟️

There is only one solution to this problem 🏴‍☠️

Scientific research now is basically the mainstream media of academia. A bunch of phd’s and students in a pyramid scheme of writing the most trendy tabloid style “research” because that’s what gets grant money (what the gov buys with tax dollars).

This is what they mean by “the science”, which is not anything resembling scientific research. It’s a scam.

Algorithms are the fence that keeps the sheep in.

Hope for the world restored

We all said “crisp” out loud.

If they say it out loud it’s likely already implemented.

Without algorithmic control the momentum of social movements will be unstoppable.

After something like Occupy Wall Street happened the narrative controllers realized they can’t let anything like that happen again so they subtlety throttle the levers of reach and account access in order or ensure it will not snowball into true opposition.

That can’t control #Nostr

Have a good one! 👋

😂😂😂 they have no sense of humor.

Grabbed both👍 Thanks for the heads up.

What if everything is in your head and nothing is real?

The Universe feed in #Damus has to be the best example of #Nostr working. You can watch and talk to people all over the world in real time as they come in. No restraints on language or location or politics or anything. Truly no constraints. Only freedom.
