Law allows feds to read your email without warrants

[cqcn88]

This is what "we the people" voted for. Is this at all surprising to anyone? I fully expect to see more and more of this. I wonder how private the private messages on any given firearms forum will be.

They have a long and very boring / nerdy read ahead of them when it comes to my email box.

Welcome to the People's Republic of Amerika, comrade!​

The majority has spoken. They want free handouts and will exchange freedom to get them. Have a nice day.

Just FYI..... Your "Private" messages on any forum are not truly private. Admins hae complete access to EVERYTHING on their forum. Nothing is private!! If you have put your thoughts into words it is no longer private.

This.

If you aren't willing to say it in court, don't say it online.

And for you jokers who think you "deleted it", think again. Your ISP has backups of everything, so unless your timing is absolutely perfect -- or you work for the ISP! -- it is in some geeks' cabinet somewhere in the basement or off site.

Person reading my email: spam, spam, spam, oh! I think I got something, wait, nope just more spam.

Like the Bush era stimulus checks and the PATRIOT Act & TSA?

Nothing different than reading your electronic medical records that was first established by Dubya. An Orwellian tale comes to life...

Anybody reading my email is going to think I am either hung like a horse or a horse fly... My lil brother thought it would be funny to put my email in every porn site he ever visited....

If you want to grow your junk by inches, need cheap viagra, or want to meet midgets just let me know I have the hookups....

Email is going to the wayside, almost every way I communicate in business and personal life is though IM, text message, and phone calls. I receive roughly 150 emails a week for work, compare that to over a thousand Instant Messages (GTalk, Skype, etc) and ~150 texts messages in the same time period. Personal life is some what similar with text messages and social networking over taking instant messaging.

Email is a fading form of communication, people want instant responses in communications and are turning to IM, social networking, text messaging.

If they read my email maybe they can help me collect all of the lottery winnings I've won and just need to claim.

The non-business sector...perhaps, but unless you like to carry your iPad in your back pocket, it gets difficult to read a .doc, .pdf, a Google map, etc.

Personally, for me, I like email...I prefer to not have to instantly be reached. I like responding back at my own time and my own pace. If I need to get in touch instantly, I'll send a txt that says call me. Then I will talk on the phone...then again, that's probably because I'm an oldster in my 50's and not with the "instant" crowd. IM's and txt don't have any tonal inflections, so you misinterpret many times what the other was trying to communicate (like having PURPLE on a forum for instance).

But in business, email isn't going away soon.

You made some valid points and while I agree with you that it is not going away soon, it is a dying form of communication.

I could labor on about how our company recently saw a dramatic decreasing in email usage after standardizing one IM client that works on all smartphone (android, iOS, WP, BBOS) OS platforms, but it would be utterly boring and an epic thread jack. lol

When it comes to real estate, it's all about three things: location, location, location.

When it comes to online privacy, it's also all about three things: encryption, encryption, encryption.
