Now you scaring me bro
I forgot that it was true during the Obama administration they were tracking our convos, when Edward Snowden leaked the NSA documents in 2013.
The NSA, the CIA and GCHQ spied on users of Second Life, Xbox Live and World of Warcraft, and attempted to recruit would-be informants from the sites, according to documents revealed in December 2013.[135][136] Leaked documents showed NSA agents also spied on their own "love interests," a practice NSA employees termed LOVEINT.[137][138] The NSA was shown to be tracking the online sexual activity of people they termed "radicalizers" in order to discredit them.[139] Following the revelation of Black Pearl, a program targeting private networks, the NSA was accused of extending beyond its primary mission of national security.
You've been recorded ever since the Patriot Act was passed in 2001, whether it's Email or phone calls. I remember when we were constantly reminded at work or from my home internet service provider to delete Email to save space on the servers prior to 9-11. Then they started automatically deleting anything over a certain number of days old. Now everything is saved. At work I started confirming everything via Email as managers liked to verbally tell people to do things then deny that they had. It might be something counter to company policy, safety regulations or unapproved spending. The company could still delete those but I copied everything to my home Email too.
