So where is anything false posted ?

The things are and have been relatively common knowledge know, in the news at times for a decade,
and really are TAME compared to the other news/ expose's about what the leaders and members and employees of some (or many) churches and religious groups and even the boy scouts of America ! have been doing ....

so where's the beef ?
Where’s the proof?

I want to present the case of the morality or immorality of churches using keylogging. This is a technology that records every key stroke one makes on their computer. Some companies and institutions can legally keylog employees on work computers but there are also illegal methods and situations where keylogging is used too.

If you using computers that belong to a church or a ministry then I think they got the right to do this.


If a church however has this setup on something like a Wifi then that is a little more creepy, but still probably within their rights. People surfing certain web sites like porn etc. could bring viruses etc. to the network, server, or host computer.


Now if the church is using something beyond this, like some kind of malware that does keylogging of folks that are church members, or people that visit the church web site, then that would concern me..... But the other stuff seems like it would be within the rights of the organization, etc. as far as the US Law and Constitution are concerned.

of what specifically ?

More than enough 'proof' of a lot more than all in this thread has been on the news for over a decade you know ? Have you been so isolated ?
So what I’m getting is that you made a claim about churches doing this in significant numbers, but instead of backing up that claim, you’d rather try to insult me and claim that I should know this.

Okay, since it’s been on the news for a decade, it should be pretty simple to link to at least one recent article on this.

I’ll wait.

Please excuse me as I feel an involuntary urge to ramble; sort of like that itch that I feel when a pest starts chewing on my bare back.

Has anyone else noticed that the OP is a new member with only 18 posts; that he stirred up a bunch of stink, attacking nameless churches, posted in the OP without providing any source for his claims; and after that first post goes MIA, appearing to have abandoned the thread?

Does anyone else here feel like a hit and run victim?

Ramble ended.

How or why were you ever insulted ?
How about focusing on the question? No need to get distracted.

Where’s one recent article on this? Us isolated folk want to know.

I'll even help this go along faster..

I typed "Tulsa church installed keylogger onto parishioners computers" into a Google search engine and came up with:

NOTHING!

Zero results for news articles related to this search. ZERO.

And yes, I've unwatched this thread.
