They'll just use that as an excuse to spy on you and me though. There are better ways to catch people other than spying and snitching on them.

Try putting this article on the privacy community and you'll see my point.

    They're already spying on you and me. (Well on you, at most, since I don't use their product.) If you don't want to be spied on, try not to use the product made specifically to spy on you.

    But since it is a given (and well-known; they even say so themselves, though not using these words) that they spy on you, if, while spying on you, they see that you're planning to, and again I stress this, shoot up a school they have an obligation to warn of the upcoming slaughter.

    I was talking about the government spying on you, which I can almost guarantee that they are. Won't be long before they mistake and innocent person for a school shooter and call a raid on their house. If that's you one day, don't complain.

    I will be far less concerned with me accidentally being raided on a mistaken belief that I am about to do a school shooting than them not raiding someone they know is about to do a school shooting ... and then the shooting happens.

    I'm sorry if this is confusing to you, but in general I view a period of inconvenience as a mistake gets shaken out far better than a bunch of children getting butchered. Of course this is partially because I'm not American.

    What makes you think I'm American? I'm just comparing the data in countries where surveillance is widespread. As far as I've seen they're more often used to imprison people for small crimes, often due to political reasons, rather than catching criminals like these.

    I don't fully disagree that we need to catch these types of criminals, but the method that you're presenting has never worked and I don't think it will in the future either.
