    Thanks.

    Now that we’ve cleared that up, I’d just like to state for the record that I agree with the EFF, not you. Sorry.

      That’s what concerns me. Everyone wants to follow others these days.

      If you did a little research and came up with your own conclusion good on you but I am concerned that people will just be followers.

      I also think the EFF has a flare for being politically charged up for no good reason.

        Agreeing with a persuasive argument is not ‘being a follower.’

        Frankly, the fact that this bill seems to have broad support among the same Congress that’s not only renewing but expanding FISA is suspicious enough to begin with. The EFF’s analysis about how it preempts potentially-stronger state laws to form a ceiling on privacy rights instead of a floor just proves the obvious: that it’s a limited hangout designed to give the appearance of addressing the problem while actually shielding big business from real privacy protections with teeth.
