@POGOBlog @JakeLaperruque @jvagle For example, years ago, I wrote about how the NSA was piggybacking on tracking cookie from Google to help identify people it wanted to target for malware. Google didn't create that cookie for that purpose, but its mere existence made it easier for the NSA folks #POGOchat — PolitiTweet.org

Andy (River) Peterson @kansasalps

@POGOBlog @JakeLaperruque @jvagle A5. But really, it's an issue most of the big tech companies have had at least some peripheral involvement in in part because the nature of their business makes them attractive targets for law enforcement warrants and subpoenas. #POGOchat — PolitiTweet.org

@POGOBlog @JakeLaperruque @jvagle A5. Well, we can start by talking about how Amazon's actively pitching real-time facial recognition systems to ICE, as Jake and I revealed last year: https://t.co/UuHybOWwDc #POGOchat — PolitiTweet.org

@chadloder @JakeLaperruque @POGOBlog @jvagle @paulohm Absolutely - and I don't think we as a society have figured out good solutions for that danger yet. Interesting stuff going on with Right to Be Forgotten in EU, but hard to figure out how to square with other civil liberties like free speech, etc — PolitiTweet.org

@JakeLaperruque @POGOBlog @jvagle A3: Another thread I'd like to drop in here is @paulohm's work about how overcollection creates the potential for "databases of ruin": almost everyone has at least one piece of information somewhere that could upend their life if placed in the wrong hands. https://t.co/M4n9wiB0vM — PolitiTweet.org

@POGOBlog @JakeLaperruque @jvagle Ok, maybe not directly "all of us" in the way that you might think, but we are all affected by living in a world where we often don't know who might be watching: it has a chilling effect on free speech. https://t.co/MACXnMNIIW — PolitiTweet.org

@POGOBlog @JakeLaperruque @jvagle years later, some of those programs have been reformed, but the public is still all too often left in the dark about how sophisticated systems are deployed by governments which makes it almost impossible to conduct meaningful oversight to protect civil liberties #POGOchat — PolitiTweet.org

@POGOBlog @JakeLaperruque @jvagle A2. There are so many ways, but also so many ways we just don't know about! When the Snowden leaks broke in 2013, we got a lot of confirmation (and new revelations!) about surveillance programs that relied on both the content and metadata related to people's communications. — PolitiTweet.org

@POGOBlog @JakeLaperruque @jvagle Answering Q1 here is hard because there's such a personal element, but from a policy stand point: I think a lot about what behaviors by companies and by the government go beyond normal expectations of privacy and the 4th amendment — PolitiTweet.org
