Celebrate the Fourth! Use privacy sites and privacy browsers.

The Fourth Amendment Amendment that is. As I type, it's July 5, even on the left coast, but it's never too late to celebrate the Fourth Amendment .

Turns out, going to a privacy site gets you into the NSA database. On the other hand, unless (1) you've been dead for at least a century and (2) were not a leftist rabble rouser while alive, you're probably in the NSA database already anyway.*

to the parent of the above thread, wildbilln864

I think the least we can do to celebrate the Fourth Amendment is try to clog the NSA's system. (It's already probably way massive to do the USG any good, but what the hell? It's a relatively easy way to protest.)

BTW, I don't know, but I'm guessing, that this post violates some anti-terrorism law or another, by encouraging people to try to clog the system. If so, I don't care. I am willing to go to jail for the rest of my life over this, if comes to that.
