The article is from 2015, so without defending mass surveillance: is there nothing more recent? It’s possible they did that in the 11 years since then after all.
Even if, its gotta be very rare. We know about so many recent cases of attacks where it turned out they already knew the suspect and were watching them, but never intervened.
“the gap between the Battle of Hastings and the completion of the Bayeux Tapestry is likely a few years apart. I highly doubt the government of England has changed since then”
Yes, smart devices in your home. Wi-Fi can be used to track your movements. Literally see through walls, your heartbeat and even track your breathing. Have fun with that information. Actually, that might be more of the older capabilities. When I think about it. For example, your internet provider could possibly tap in and view motion in the home. Especially if the home has been mapped out for the newer routers and such. If they actually wanted to, there is always a way.
Which is irrelevant to the article you posted. They weren’t asking for your theories about how mass surveillance could be done, they were asking if the claim in the title was still correct.
9 day old account with 50 posts posting a decade old article and replying to a question with an unrelated wall of text is a huge red flag imo
Why would the government of america need to wiretap your phone when your alexa knows what you dreamt about last night, your web browser knows what you paused to take a look at when scrolling, your phone reports where it is and what it’s doing to every cell tower in range, and there is a network of fully internet connected sattelites overhead at all times capable of resolving images at CENTIMETRE scale.
What does this have to do with literally anything mentioned so far? Did you reply to the wrong comment?
Honestly you should not be on the internet if you can’t tell the difference between asking if an information is up to date and whatever the fuck you thought I said.
If this is the media literacy level on the fediverse no wonder the world is fucked
You asked for updated information, since this was a decade old, I asked why would they have to wiretap your phones when there’s a listening device in every home, and a fleet of satellites that know what colour underwear you’re wearing.
Your inability (or unwillingness, serving no point but to be snarky) to draw parallels between related topics has nothing to do with my illiterate/schizo ass.
I’m honestly not interested in arguing this further. There’s obviously a significant mindset difference between us.
To me answering a different question than what was asked and insisting that it was the question has two explanations: The person genuinely misunderstood the question, or they are intellectually dishonest akin to a politican trying to maintain their image. Both cases lose all their credibility in my eyes, even if I agree with their message. But it seems many people are okay with any manner of speech as long as the message is one they already believe in
I don’t think I can change your worldview. Good day

They haven’t really made newer claims apparently, but on the other hand there’s this, surveillance backdoors are dangerous;

The gap between the signing of the Patriot Act and when that article was posted is 14 years apart. I highly doubt anything has changed since then.
what is this even supposed to mean?
“the gap between the Battle of Hastings and the completion of the Bayeux Tapestry is likely a few years apart. I highly doubt the government of England has changed since then”
ok since it makes sense to everyone else, someone explain it to me
how does merely the length of time period 1 determine which events occur in time period 2?
how does publishing an article saying that something has not happened yet prevent that thing from happening after the article is published?

I don’t think you understood the inquiry
I just gave them some more info about a type of surveillance. Maybe you should think again.
the question was, is it still true that no acts is terrorism have been prevented in the last 11 years
Which is irrelevant to the article you posted. They weren’t asking for your theories about how mass surveillance could be done, they were asking if the claim in the title was still correct.

46 migrating zebras eaten by crocodiles so far
Comment:
Not that I suport the crocodiles, but this is from the last migration season, are there newer numbers?

Crocodiles can crush bones like tissue paper. They can remain invisible underwater until they strike.

Which is once again not what was asked.

Who cares if it is a new account, that is actually irrelevant. And a comment about actual surveillance isn’t irrelevant with this!
They can tell when I move the coffee table through the cleaning robot.
