    This is just pr, they are talking about fighting police level warrants. It says nothing about NSA level mass surveillance (aka PRISM). I would love to see Google, Microsoft, and Fa…

    Well refusing to allow a shady Israel company to handle your wiretaps would be anti-Semitic! /s We should also note that unlike the NSA, Israel follows no international laws and do…

    You pay more, for more, if it costs more to give you more. In this case it is not costing these internet service providers a single dime to fulfill Netflix's bandwidth. Do you thin…

    No because this is artificial scarcity. It does not cost these big internet service providers a single dime more to serve up Netflix than it does to serve up Wikipedia pages. The i…

    The reason there hasn't been much discussion is because the state controls the parameters of discussion through heavy use of propaganda and intimidation, and they don't like the qu…

    I would argue the NSA threat is actually worse. The NSA has the kind of funding and clout to pull off what other hackers and nation-states can't. They are sowing the seeds for tyra…

    Could these hacking incidents against Mt Gox have been the work of the NSA? It is extremely unlikely to be Karpeles because hurting Mt Gox would send the price of Bitcoin tumbling,…

    I would really like to know why Google is fighting so hard to keep this video up when they regularly remove anti-Judaism, anti-Israel, and other distasteful content under "hate spe…

    It's a little bit hard to take this seriously. If someone found a 0day in the filesystems or thumbnail renderers they would take the easiest approach and try to spread the bug as f…

    You know what is a better idea for stopping attackers rather than molesting random people at the airport? Not having terrorism as a foreign policy. Like Noam Chomsky says, the best…

    This is a nice idea in theory, but after all the NSA revelations, we should all be very weary of cloud based data storage. Mozilla is based in the US, so what is stopping the NSA i…

    The Washington Post is a fucking joke. And then they wonder why people are abandoning print media in droves and turning to the internet for news.

    The difference is the government can use their profiling and data snooping to take away your life or liberty, while corporations can't.

    There needs to be more shunning of NSA collaborators in the tech community. The NSA has only been able to achieve this Orwellian level of surveillance through the cooperation of bi…
