It takes 20mins to fet from base houseing to the gate, lord k ows what traffic is like by the causeways, its an hour of driving before you're anywhere worth being and then its a coin flip if its exciting, so its either the ft. Walton beach strip clubs or onbase recreation.
No wonder eglin is addicted hahaha.
But in all seriousness, there are teams of people on the data crunch side of things that seems like a pedestrian insight
More specifically, the Border Patrol are spying on reddit users. Why are they creating these reports themselves and not relying on other agencies to investigate? Does border patrol have jurisdiction over all national security matters?
>The spying is revealed in a January intelligence bulletin produced by the Border Patrol and leaked to me.
LOL Nobody should be shocked. I forgot who said it but someone said something to the tune of they don't need to wire tap because people openly post all over social media for everyone to see.
People see it as a way to share information with friends and family, meanwhile governments use it as a survaylance tool, always have been.
Tin foil hat time: DARPA wanted to create LifeLog to track everything about you. Now you post everything they wanted to know about you on Facebook.
Why not? I definitely consider cameras recording our every move in public to be spying/surveillance. It is one thing for a person to see something in public. Quite another to have automated systems recording and analyzing everything for all time.
This is OSINT (open-source intelligence) and isn't spying by any technical standard because it's speech in a public venue, there isn't a way to raise hell like with e.g. Snowden. Spying would be going into their DMs without a warrant (which is probably happening).

Extreme waste of tax dollars, though. I guess this is an important lesson in Big Brother and "having nothing to hide." They will put something worth hiding in your hands and swiftly arrest you.
This was an inevitable step for a surveillance state. Technology will consolidate the position of the leaders while making organised resistance impossible.
One of the mistaken beliefs of contemporary neofascists is that Pournelle's Iron Law only applies to bureaucracies. It would be much much less work for ICE to stop executing American citizens, stop abducting citizens and lawful immigrants, and stop keeping deportees in overcrowded and opaque concentration camps, and repair their own reputation by generally operating within the law like good faith public servants. But obviously doing that would not meet the needs of the expanding autocracy.

The OSINT folks aren't technically spying but they're a lot closer to it than this.
