The government doesn't care how we express ourselves and they should have their limits of what a real threat is. The government should pry on someone's social networks when the person is being too specific about how they are going to harass

New technologies that people had never imagined a decade, or even some decades ago, are now expanding and changing all our lives. Taking smartphones as an example, people in old time had never imagined that small, tiny box could enable people to bring smart computer to everywhere.
