General Discussion

Back in the early days, DU had a running joke about Agent Mike. My cousin used to take the battery out of her Tracfone when not using it so the government could not track her. When cable TV started, people worried the government would use it to see in our homes or listen in. There was a whole thing about satellites that were so good they could read the print off your book if you sat by a window. These concerns, warranted or not, have been around awhile.

Technology being what it is, I would expect if they don't know our addresses, they could within an hour or so if motivated. Not just DU, but everything communicated everywhere. In times past, we learned to live with the reality because our government didn't abuse it much. Now.... well all bets are off.
