Title: CIA mass surveillance: the agency spied on and collected unknown data from U.S. citizens
Post by: Redaktion on February 14, 2022, 13:30:05
CIA spied on some American citizens, a letter from members of the Senate Intelligence Committee has disclosed. The agency hid the surveillance program from the committee and didn't disclose the exact details of the kind of data collection and surveillance carried out until March 2021. Details of the program haven't been made public yet.

QuoteKristi Scott, privacy and civil liberties officer at the CIA

Huh, and I guess that job title means about as much "Matron Theresa, Piety, Sobriety and Modesty officer at the local brothel"

In other non-news, government agency caught abusing its power...it must be that day of the week ending in "day".

If they truly believed it was legal and ethical, why hide it from the Intelligence Committee? As the saying goes, it's easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission.

Not just China and Israel do this but the US as well.
