While I wouldn't consider the comment down-vote worth as someone else deemed it, I find one part I have to respond to. "if you're not from the US, I feel like you should have known…

Why do you keep stating such things as "he's trying to keep it safe" or "NSA is trying to help the citizens of the US." Do you have information on this or do you keep on stating yo…

No, no. edit: Tried to respond below but have been "submitting too fast" while submitting nothing for far too long to care to wait more. I am not saying the NSA has flawless execut…

"Realistically these companies don't have much choice" Of course they do. They can comply or not. If they do not comply they may face court. Of course it is impossible to say how t…

"I know it for the same reason I know unicorns and leprechauns don't exist - there is no credible evidence supporting it." Of course there is no credible evidence when evidence is …

Aside from the details that show the NSA having employees in companies install monitoring hardware worldwide? Or those that assist in providing data in return for some themselves? …

"No one has "control" over the Internet." Aside from the people who control the hardware, and the NSA/others seem to have control over those people, getting them to install monitor…

Too big to be considered anything but fellow conspirators.

Deciphering the doublespeak is tough. "Touches" implies, at least to me, data that passes through hardware controlled one way or another by the NSA or it's corporate affiliates. It…

"You're generally just supposed to know the law. Nobody necessarily tells it to you." If no one tells you, then how are you meant to know? How?

It would happen at the same time as the closing of Guantanamo Bay, I imagine.

Sure thing buddy, extremely large whales absorbing a pond of little fish will make the price (rate of exchange relative to whatever currency you fancy) more stable. All sarcasm asi…

You assume that I made that assumption, that is wrong. My position is those attempting to cause change from within have while at work helped give inertia and acceptance to what the…

Right, it is called disengaging, but that is not what you did. You yourself choose to waste your time and energy on this.

How did it waste your time? How is that a reason to attempt to moderate the comment from others by actively down-voting it? What.

Naturally my mind went to how investigations need to brew after data acquisition, but withholding bits of an investigation for those reasons is entirely proper as well. In an era o…

Someone is terribly mad at sane suggestions and commentary today. Yet another seemingly reasonable comment down-voted.

From the article: 'The judge said she wasn't ready to rule on the government's suggested remedies to eliminate antitrust behavior. She seemed dismayed as she noted that the publish…

A better suited title would be: 'Press Paid To Fail To Ask Any NSA Questions At President Obama’s NSA Press Conference' This fits entirely into the US government putting a noose on…

I never said anything was black and white, just that a very large amount of people have become complicit in what they acknowledge as wrong-doings. As to working within the system, …

After being informed nearly daily of how one's work assists another in their deeds, then continuing to accept salary, it is compliance and complicity. Others have shown they do not…

What moral imperatives were implied?

As I referenced in another thread, Obama himself voted for the FISA amendment[1]. How clearer must it get that people working for companies like AT&T and Booz Allen are complicit i…

The US government has been making a huge issue of who is a "real" journalist as to ensure journalist protection does not happen spread to very articulate, well informed, level head…
