This bill was introduced 1/3/19, passed the house 1/10/19. Still has to pass the senate.

But, really? A bill to protect diplomats from surveillance through devices, but no legislation to protect citizens from big brother (at least I couldn't find any, please post if it exists). Congress sucks.

Totally sick of this "rules for thee, not for me" shit!

What do you think we can do about it though? One set of rules for a "human being" (regardless of position/status etc) - maybe another simplified set of rules regarding corporate spying?

Very complicated issue :\

I suggest any perk, pass, or privilege that gets granted to govt members must automatically and equally be granted to The People without exception.
