The FBI, NSA are spying on you!

[Woodypc]

 

Thats what I saw on the news last night. I wasnt paying attention though I just remember seeing PRISM show up somewhere. *Sigh* Well I guess nowhere is safe from America, World Police.

I hope one day, when SpaceX can launch us to Mars...America isnt invited. America ruins everything.

 

*!AWESOME!*

Our government doesn't care about the constitution anymore. True but sad.

[Guerrero]

Just leave America. Come live in NZ or AUS. We dont have spies in NZ. We have crazy Green Peace though.

The NZ government has even admitted on illegally spying on its people

[LAwLz]

False alarm!

Guess I should have looked closer at the source of the words, and not just the business insider article and the reddit posts. The list of words was complied by Willaim Knowles and the purpose was to get people to add some of the words in the list to emails and such, so that the NSA would start collection emails and other messages containing them, and thus slow down their spying (back in 1998). No idea why this resurfaced again after over a decade but there you go. No need to be afraid, but some of the words might still add you to a watch-list, but maybe not the number 7.

 

Don't want the NSA to think that you are a terrorist? Then you might want to avoid using the words on this list. The list contains such goodies as "the", "firewall", "RAID", "AOL", "passwords", "redhead", "nerd", the number 7 and the first 4 letters of the alphabet, "a", "b", "c" and "d".

The list was found on this website: http://attrition.org/misc/keywords.html which is supposedly a very trustworthy source. I think this list contains waaay too many common words which everyday people use. With the news about PRISM, I feel very uncomfortable these days. Feels like the US is spying on me and everyone else. If it continue like this, I wouldn't be surprised if we will get cameras in our houses in a few years. Or well, it is already happening with PRISM and the Xbox One...

What do you think of this list? Too many common words in it? Do you feel like you are being spied on for no reason?

 

 

Edit: I should probably add that you should take this with a big pinch of salt, since the source is someone who reddit who says he is a journalist, and his source is some site which says they got insider info. Not 100% trustworthy.

[Nertballs]

did anyone else just search all these words to piss them off? :P 




lol jk i'm in ireland.

[sonarctica]

This doesn't surprise me at all, gladly I'm from Finland (finally something good about it) and nobody cares about it. As far as NSA knows, only polar bears and cavemen live here.

[felixbearpig]

lol im going to call someone and send an email to someone with all these words being said or written

[AroundWayOtherThe]

Well, you've just buggered up your privacy by posting that list, haven't you now?

 

Seriously, how is 'pseudonym' there...seriously...wut

and 'Nerd'...

and 'Jasmine'
and 'BLOWPIPE' ? XD
AND PORNSTARS?! EH?!?

I keep finding things and editing this post... Imma stop now

[miljaker]

[xxmarijn]

They are probably monitoring this thread.

[Anult]

watch out bro, they may spy on us to see if we're inventing something so they can steal it.

 

also, why the hell is bubba the love sponge in the list of keywords? what is wrong with the NSA?

[felixbearpig]

so..i heard domestic disruption in 1997 can put you in austin with pornstars that look like toads. because you were thought to be a  fish named Bubba the Love Sponge, the head of an internatinal spies orginization called bob. 

all the bold words are on this list, you should continue the story lol

[ShiverMePenguins]

watch out bro, they may spy on us to see if we're inventing something so they can steal it.

[nicholaswillems]

"Mavricks"

 

Everyone who misspells the new os x (mavericks) will be spied on :D

[gjrud]

Wait, someone is knocking at my door, be back in a second.

Oh Sh...!

edit: by the way, the first screen only had "JAVA Tutorial" in it but then I noticed the word "STEP" was also included.

Make sure to always check where your next step will land, you don't want the NSA to be after your neck :D

Edit 2: well, the "pun" in the first edit came out pretty well even if not intended xD

[boggle4321]

15kg

 Badger

 codes

1997

 Flu

veggie

Kiwi

 ninja

rogue

Nike

 jack

 

the list goes on... 

[NaftaLord]

It's like they saying that they only monitor the alphabet letters.

Wait a minute, you can make words with the alphabet, ha i'm on to you.

[Nicktrance]

"a" and "the"? so basically almost everything you type... I know most countries have something similar for text messages and such but usually they just check for drug related terms and such.

[Steff1993]

Meanwhile @ NSA:

 

"John look at this website, linustechtips.com, should we take it down."

- * eating donut * "Meh whatever"

"Ok your call" - presses giant red button -

*** linustechtips.com takedown, drone initiated, target: Linus Sebastian ***

[TGBSeth]

 

Whether or not the NSA is actually collecting and holding onto private information for years on end is unknown, but we are fairly certain that they could do so if they wanted to.  One of the Internet Archive’s engineers, Brewster Kahle, put together a spreadsheet of what he estimates the cost would be for the NSA to hold onto a years worth of phone data.

[James_AJ]

Why should this be of any surprise? This has been going on for a looonng time and every time the US gov't has been dismissing all claims as fake.

 

Mateys sometimes need to trust their guts.
