View Full Version : If you use any sort of privacy tools, you are an extremist according to the NSA

*Warning* if you click on the link below, you will be targetted.


If you use Tor or any of a number of other privacy services online or even visit their web sites to read about the services, there’s a good chance your IP address has been collected and stored by the NSA, according to top-secret source code for a program the NSA uses to conduct internet surveillance.

There’s also a good chance you’ve been tagged for simply reading news articles about these services published by Wired and other sites.

Legal experts say the widespread targeting of people engaged in constitutionally protected activity like visiting web sites and reading articles, raises questions about the legal authority the NSA is using to track users in this way.

“Under [the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act] there are numerous places where it says you shouldn’t be targeting people on the basis of activities protected by the First Amendment,” says Kurt Opsahl, deputy general counsel for the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “I can’t see how this activity could have been properly authorized under FISA. This is suggesting then that they have come up with some other theory of authorizing this.”

The findings also contradict NSA longstanding claims that its surveillance targets only those suspected of engaging in activity that threatens national security.

The argument that we should not care about all the spying because we are "small potatoes" to the NSA is now completely moot. Just reading an article will make you an "extremist." That's f*ckin insane. I guess I've been an extremist a pretty damn long time ago since I read pretty much anything just for the f*ck it when I'm bored. Again, don't click on the link if you've never read articles like that nor used programs like TOR or IP ghost or whatever.

The excuse for our government to spy on us is always 'terrorism'.


But we know our government has an interest in spying on us regardless.



So are we so naive as to believe our government does not support or even sponsor terrorism as a justification for carte blanche surveillance and intrusion?


I remember when Bush was in office, all the liberals were screaming false flag and surveillance state and unconstitutional and all that.

Apparently a quick swap of the little letter in front of the President's name from (R) to (D) has alleviated all of those concerns and opinions entirely from the American left.

Now we're on to more important issues... like gays in the military!!! And whatever else jon stewart tells us to focus on and blame on the stupid republicans, garrgagaghh!!!!!!!



God bless 'Murica.

you are dumb as shit. the only way you can actually think that liberals arent pissed about unconstitutional surveillance under obama is if you get your information from the comment section on fox news articles. most of the true liberals i know are furious and feel completely betrayed by obama, its the mainstream moderates and hillary clintonesque fake liberals like kevinnyc who dont care.

Just a few short years ago data-mining algorithms and techniques were an extremely hot topic. In an En Essay sponsored cyber security curriculum I remember someone did their doctoral thesis on the topic, together with a real world demonstration quickly reducing terrabytes worth of data into categorized, relevant "target" strings

Be afraid. Be VERY afraid :pimp:

If this article sounds like a Bunch of Chicken Little Bullshit, that's because it is.

However, sheeple like Rambo just eat this stuff up.

It's from wired. I personally find them to be credible.

Of course, you would oppose this. Not surprising. You are hands down the biggest tool in this forum.

The political party of the president has no bearing on whether the NSA will spy on us or not. Hugo Chavez could be president and he wouldn't be able to stop them from doing it.

I lost 100% of what respect I had left for Obama when he addressed this spying issue and said some shit like "Now, you're going to have to give up some freedom for security"

Yeah, and if a girl put her facebook profile on private, she a bitch. Learn to see this shit in context, mother****er. What am I supposed to assume, that they ain't hiding some ass good shit in their photo albums, that they ain't got one pic a brotha could fap to?
