Good to see Alexander resort to doing the same thing the rest of us do when a third party has their poo poo - whine! http://www.politico.com/blogs/under-the-radar/2013/10/nsa-chief-stop-reporters-selling-spy-documents-175896.html quote:The head of the embattled National Security Agency, Gen. Keith Alexander, is accusing journalists of "selling" his agency's documents and is calling for an end to the steady stream of public disclosures of secrets snatched by former contractor Edward Snowden. I agree! Maybe end the third party doctrine to start?

Thrasophius posted:I've read that the EU wants to put trade restrictions on the US over all this, what would this imply for the world economy if it goes ahead? Do you guys think it'll just be a minor annoyance to both sides or a major set-back? It won't ever happen. The EU is just as bad and is complicit with the USA in spying. They're just spouting off for youtube clips and other election fodder.

Snowden just got a job with a Russian company. I dunno why that pisses me off. We really should be bringing him back as a hero with a parade. Make him head of the NSA. Get him to fix the Obamacare website. Hell, anything but trying to ineffectively brand him as a traitor. So much untapped talent gone cause idiots wanna keep their power here.

Internet Webguy posted:The restrictions are due to the fact that there are known bribes to the police and editors who are literally in bed with politicians. The culture of corruption goes deep within the industry because they have been allowed to get away with these kind of things for so long. Isn't bribing police & politicians a crime for anyone over there with its own existing penalties?

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/07/us/cia-is-said-to-pay-att-for-call-data.html?_r=0 Calling it now. Public outrage causes the NSA to lose power and the other 40+ alphabet agencies that do the same thing to gain power. Firmly looking for a third party that is not American at this point. quote:The N.S.A. is subject to court-imposed rules about the standard that must be met before its analysts may gain access to its database, which contains records from multiple providers. The C.I.A. appears to have a freer hand, and officials said it had submitted significantly more queries to AT&T for data. Watch my right hand...pay no attention to my left one.

The more that gets released/leaked, the more likely the whole program will be fundamentally changed. I can at least count on Edward Snowden to release the relevant documents where the US government is unwilling.

Paul MaudDib posted:Renesys reports that large-scale MITM attacks are now a reality. Not even just from the NSA. HTTP/2 with mandatory end-to-end encryption is sounding better and better all the time. I think they're used to getting companies to fall in line by bluffing them with stern letters. They're not used to going to real court, just secret court.

King of Hamas posted:Just because it is illegal does not mean that it is wrong, and Snowden did America and the world a favor by exposing the NSA's machinations. There should be whistleblower protections for individuals that want to expose government corruption but since America is a corrupt country there aren't. Your mindless legalism loses the greater issue. Relax, history will treat Snowden well. Better than Obama. This NSA crap is stuck to his legacy like white on rice.

Confirmed what we already knew: http://www.pcworld.com/article/2450080/fbi-cia-can-query-us-communications-collected-by-nsa.html The FBI and CIA have access to US info from the NSA gathering, and at least the FBI does not track how many times they query it. FBI has authority to search the database for 'evidence of crimes'. Sweet country bro.
