US government secretly issues keyword warrants to Google allowing them to track anyone who searches certain names or details

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Investigators are secretly using keyword warrants to help track down criminals

The relatively new style of warrant orders Google to track and provide user data on anyone who searches specific names, addresses or telephone numbers

Cybersecurity experts fear that keyword warrants set a precedent for breaching the fourth amendment protection against unreasonable searches

Google, however, has defended its decision to respond to the federal government's keyword warrants and claims they protect users when doing so

Both the FBI and Department of Homeland Security have been cited as entities that have or may use keyword warrants

I have to agree with the NYCLU when back on Dec. 10th, 2020. They filed a complaint letter with the Fed's and called Google not honor the unconstitutional “geofence warrants”.

In part their letter said.
"These blanket warrants circumvent constitutional checks on police surveillance, creating a virtual dragnet of our religious practices, political affiliations, sexual orientation, and more."

The question is how much more will this Congress and Admin mimic the typical Rise to Power of other Socialist Coups.

#3 Use DuckDuckGo for anything other than searching for hotels, restaurants, bland shops etc

#4 VPN to mask your endpoint. And use a non logging search engine.

And if you really want to up the security use TOR for your searches, then use your regular browser to open the links. TOR is too slow for anything else.

Welcome to the Socialist/Fascist surveillance state, sponsored by the leftists at Big Tech.

Yes VPN and TOR are a added step.

There are other way that allow ISP's and the Fed's to track and provide DNS lookup data, IP Connection info to VPN's, Google cookie funded websites tracking, your MAC id, data load and etc... All open the door to Super System correlation of data.

EXAMPLE:
Ever have a VPN and forget to disconnect before using G-Mail? Remember all those followup security questions?
Like was this you? That then ties you to the VPN issued address.

Also remember to avoid The Carnivore and Echelon Keywords.

Also as reported back in 2007 the replacement snooping systems is now located "inside an ISP's network at the junction point of a router or network switch" and capable of storing vast amounts of data flowing through the provider's network.

But either way Big Brother is Already Here....

Stop using your IMEI coded Cell Phone to surf ☺☺ yeah right good luck on that ☺☺. Start using an application like Mad Mac. to change your MAC ID, go USB flash drive Boot OS, find Wifi open Hotspots out of CCTV Cam view.

#10 The OZ publishing then retraction of Echelon info led me to avoid involvement with CALEA. There is so much stupid out there.
