Senate Votes to Allow FBI to Look at Your Web Browsing History Without a Warrant

I wonder if the people who are so passionate about the 2nd amendment will help out and defend the 4th amendment. :)

As a matter of fact, I consider both of those amendments very important, along with the 1st.

I personally recommend people start learning to use things like the Brave Browser, TOR, VPNs, proxies, etc. Ditch Windows 10 for a Linux distro (LinuxMint is a great "training wheels" distro if you're a new to Linux), eschew Facebook like the plague upon humanity that it is, and remember the two most important rules of online anonymity:

Rule #1: Your real name, face, the sound of your real voice, and your location should be on a need to know basis.
Rule #2: Absolutely no one on the internet needs to know any of the above information about you, and anyone who claims they need to know such things should never be trusted. If the provider(s) of a service online want too much information about you, opt out if possible or feed them misinformation if necessary.
