Ordinary Internet users, American and non-American alike, far outnumber legally targeted foreigners in the communications intercepted by the National Security Agency from U.S. digital networks, according to a four-month investigation by The Washington Post.

Nine of 10 account holders found in a large cache of intercepted conversations, which former NSA contractor Edward Snowden provided in full to The Post, were not the intended surveillance targets but were caught in a net the agency had cast for somebody else.

I would rather just worry about terrorist attacks when they happen than have my privacy violated in this manner. Seriously.

frick the NSA and frick our nosy-arse government.

I don't really care if they watch or not, honestly. If they want to see me on The Rant and batin', more power to 'em.

I have always had this opinion. Don't give a damn. I understand its wrong but there will never be anything that we can do about it..

Big brother has always been watching and always will. Once you think they are not watching, they will be.


Really dont care and think we are spending too much effort fighting it when there are much bigger fires to put out.

This will not change until we elect officials who say they will change it.



















Bahaha, just kidding. It'll never change.

This is all that needs to be said, honestly. No one is going to stop, not even if we have a revolution of sorts (although any uprising against the military if they military were against the common people would fail, so we'll say a bloodless military coup) they would literally be like: Oh, so we can read everything at any time? Well, guess we'll just destroy tha--...nah, you're right.

The narrative is simple, and if any other country had discovered what we did, they would be using it to the fullest without any reservation whatsoever.

Can you imagine if Russia or China figured it out? They'd be watching us all bate and switch all day.

Believe it or not, there's alot of Terrorists already in the USA.

Would you rather worry about a close target or one with distance?

Y'all are being a little naive here. 90% of NSA workers are sitting around right now listening to Arabic phone calls within the US..

They may think they're more important than they really are.

That's because, unlike me you're a stupid skeptic conspiracy fig who doesn't have a TS/SCI clearance and you are not a member of the intelligence community.

This.

Both of my parents are in the IT business and both have had TSC for a long, long time.

Everyone likes to think, as I said, that they're more important than they actually are.
