Thanks for bringing up this thought. I noticed that the Trump admin was for it and that seemed curious to me. Now knowing Pelosi is against it that makes me more curious. On the outside it sounds bad but maybe it's good in a way we can't see yet.

My gut reaction was/is to be appalled by it. Until I remember that Internet privacy is already nonexistent - except the government/tptb has a monopoly on the information. They police themselves, by being the only ones allowed access to the information. And we see how that has gone. How are we supposed to take down the Power if we don't allow equal access to other entities? This might very well be a step to a true FOIA!

On that note, you may be absolutely correct... and it may be a legit way to snag those from top down to make a case that would stick. Right now we know NSA has all that but gov. can't use it to bring any charges. Right?
