I'd like to thank everyone for my most upvoted post on lemmy ever. Not only have you upvoted it to the top for like 2 days you commented the shit out of it. I'd like to take this opportunity to say fuck the mods of this instance. This was my second post coming off a 30 day ban and I want to say these fucking mods have been nothing but bitches. I've never been more attacked on any other instance, subreddit, forum, etc. then I have been in this fucking instance. Not only have I been attacked I've been told my memes arent memey enough again and again.
I'll be honest, I do not know how to make a meme but I keep posting just to piss in these mods cheerios.
Thanks lemmy.world/politicalmemes for being the worst community I've ever been a part of.
Hahaha, no. The idea that devices with microphones are always spying on you is absurd. It just doesn't happen. It couldn't happen due to how much power and bandwidth it would require. And if they were it would be the corporations spying, and not the government. As for emails and text messages, sure. The US may collect a lot of data, but they can't process a lot of data. Look how many violent attacks there have been in the US, and how few have been prevented
They're really bad at spotting anything before it happens. When attacks fail, it's almost always because the attacker screwed up, not because the spies found out ahead of time. The Nazi who tried to drive a U-Haul into the White House wasn't stopped by spies, he was stopped by a security barrier, even though he'd been planning the attack for 6 months.
But, there's always a small chance that they'll stumble on you if you're plotting something.
