Quote:FBI says it can seek journalists’ phone records without a warrant: report

Quote:The Federal Bureau of Investigation is allowed to seek journalists’ phone records with the approval of two government officials through a secretive surveillance process that does not require a warrant, The Intercept website reported on Thursday, citing a classified document.

Got to get a jump on those journalists who haven't sold out, and will call the establishment out on their bullshit.

It's sad to hear that the US is now a surveillance state, but so is most of the Western world, unfortunately. Also, the Intercept is an excellent online news site. Definitely one of my favourites.

A lot of journalists already use them due to heavy surveillance and have done so for years. Quite rightfully so, too. Fuck the surveillance state.

@Retired Army sorry it took so long. Your posts got caught in the spam filter and I had to go buy some rubber gloves because I was not sticking my bare hand in there to fish them out! Yuck

Note that the USA is colored yellow, according to the newest report on freedom of the press by reporters without borders. The only thing surprising me a little is Poland being white. But that's obviously because the data has been collected before the clero nationalists took over and started working on their press.
