Diminished freedom means the terrorists win
Re “Online Privacy Again at Issue,” June 2
The government wants to snoop into our online activities purportedly to track the child pornographers and terrorists among us.
Though no one outside those categories would mind these people being tracked, should not the Justice Department have some probable cause first so it can get a warrant? If we trade in all of our rights to fight terror, have we not already lost?
If the government gets its way, we should all boycott the Internet. Financial disincentives will keep Big Brother out of our lives unless necessary.

Now we know who Big Brother is. His name is George.
