Here's a wild idea, don't give the police information without a warrant. I know the Constitution is old and all, but it's still the law.
Everything seems lawless now.
Unless you have a legal team, you're powerless and it's CYA. I wonder who that structure benefits, possibly those with money and access to legal teams?
Seriously, corporations, it’s a free pass! “Sorry, we can’t release any customer information without a court order due to the legal liability if we were to release the information to a an unknown party acting fraudulently.”
Although, I have to ask (although I’m pretty sure of the answer); are some companies just giving up whatever information is requested to anyone with a .gov address? What if its spoofed, or typosquatted?
It's not unconstitutional if the companies give the info willingly.
Just because they found a stupid loophole doesn't make it any more acceptable. They're using our tax dollars to pay corporations that are spying on us, for our information. What they should be doing in a functional world is outlawing the companies from spying on us to begin with.
The government too. Snowden showed us what was going on and the government wants to arrest him
