Internet Surveillance in the US and UK

Recommended Posts

Has anyone been following this? Basically, someone named Edward Snowden, a 29 year old former technical assistant for the CIA and current employee of the defence contractor Booz Allen Hamilton has went public with some serious information;

"The NSA has built an infrastructure that allows it to intercept almost everything. With this capability, the vast majority of human communications are automatically ingested without targeting. If I wanted to see your emails or your wife's phone, all I have to do is use intercepts. I can get your emails, passwords, phone records, credit cards.""The NSA routinely lies in response to congressional inquiries about the scope of surveillance in America. I believe that when [senator Ron] Wyden and [senator Mark] Udall asked about the scale of this, they [the NSA] said it did not have the tools to provide an answer. We do have the tools and I have maps showing where people have been scrutinised most. We collect more digital communications from America than we do from the Russians.""We hack everyone everywhere. We like to make a distinction between us and the others. But we are in almost every country in the world. We are not at war with these countries.""You are not even aware of what is possible. The extent of their capabilities is horrifying. We can plant bugs in machines. Once you go on the network, I can identify your machine. You will never be safe whatever protections you put in place.""A lot of people in 2008 voted for Obama. I did not vote for him. I voted for a third party. But I believed in Obama's promises. I was going to disclose it [but waited because of his election]. He continued with the policies of his predecessor."

More info can be found on the situation here. Something tells me this isn't going to end well for this guy.

GCHQ is the UK equivalent.Bit surprised there's little talk around here... or not. I guess it comes to no surprise the Nazis have been doing this for a few years now.I don't get why Duane was banned from this thread though?(Just logged in for the first time in a while to find I was banned for two weeks for trolling. Result! Didn't miss anything. :thumbsup: )

I know he can't reply to this, but anyway, this is the problem with people like you Aaron. You post this, and instead of the main question being "GCHQ"? it's "the Nazis?", thus completely nullifying any point you were trying to make.
