Looks like President Obama and Silicon Valley beat me to the punch.

I wrote that Hillybob would ask private industry to spy on the masses because current laws don’t allow the government to wholesale search through data.  They can only ask for limited searches and they require a specific search warrant. You can read my original post HERE.

Apparently Yahoo has already started to wholesale spy on US Citizens at the request of the CURRENT administration. You can read the details HERE.

Looks like President Obama has already chosen FOR US that Security trumps Privacy.  Odd that he allows this since he’s the one who axed the previous administration’s spying action.  Apparently rescinding  President Bush’s plan was all political theater as we can see he has no regard for individual privacy.

I imagine that President Obama had an “Oh sh*t” moment after he killed off Bush’s data collection plan.  It was soon after he axed the plan that the San Bernardino massacre happened and they couldn’t get into the phone of the terrorist.  Had he let the old plan remain, they would have already had all the phone’s data.

Since Hillybob is President Obama Part Deux, expect more of the same kind of “transparency”.
