The FBI, NSA are spying on you!

[Chevaishr]

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.

Sorry

so i'm not going to have an interesting night... well ok that's cool  :lol:

[Guerrero]

Read through that list.... my rights have been violated.

Didn't see that false alarm

[Shunei]

Im german so if Im use any of these words their thinking Im the next Hitler

 

hm can find "Hitler" on the list

[Snickerzz]

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.

@sonarctica D: you have freaking police moose! finally something good about it my ass XD

[pcracer]

Well since you made a post containing all theese words, you might already be the number 1 terorist suspect on the NSA's list.

Australia gets 'deluge' of US secret data, prompting a new data facility

 

 

LINK: http://www.theage.com.au/it-pro/security-it/australia-gets-deluge-of-us-secret-data-prompting-a-new-data-facility-20130612-2o4kf.html

 

Read it all (The comments are also good) but here is a few paragraphs I would like to point out:

 

 

"Privately labelled by one Defence official as ''the new black vault'', the data centre is one of the few visible manifestations of Australia's deep involvement in mass surveillance and intelligence collection operations such as the US National Security Agency's PRISM program revealed last week by US intelligence leaker Edward Snowden."

 

 

"Officials cite intelligence relating to North Korea's military threats, information relating to Australian citizens involved in fighting in Syria, missile technology acquisition efforts by Iran and Chinese internal political and economic developments as recent examples of the benefits of Australia's intelligence ties with the US."

 

 

"US signals intelligence is also described as ''absolutely critical'' to Australia's diplomatic campaign to win a seat on the United Nations Security Council."

 

 

"The DSD's website says Australia ''benefits immeasurably'' from co-operation with the NSA, Britain's Government Communications Headquarters, Canada's Communications Security Establishment and New Zealand's Government Communications Security Bureau - an international network known informally as the ''five eyes''."

 

"Media reports have suggested both Britain and the Netherlands, another close US intelligence partner, also enjoy access to reporting from PRISM."

 

"Australian signals intelligence efforts, including the DSD's satellite communications interception facilities at Geraldton in Western Australia and Shoal Bay near Darwin, are focused on south and south-east Asia, east Asia and the Pacific."

 

"The most recent report of the Inspector General of Intelligence and Security Vivienne Thom indicates that, in 2011-12, there were ''a low number of incidents where the privacy rules were not applied'' by the DSD and most involved ''a presumption of nationality (that has later been found to be incorrect) or minor administrative error''."

 

"Australian officials describe PRISM and ''similar capabilities'' in relation to internet service providers in Australia as ''an inevitable response to the digital communications revolution'' with ''major challenges in terms of data storage and processing''."

"In April 2009, the Labor government exempted the project from review by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Public Works on the grounds that scrutiny ''would not be in the public interest''"

 

"On Tuesday, Attorney-General Mark Dreyfus declined to say whether US intelligence agencies have shared information gained through PRISM."

Too be honest, i dont care anymore. All countries in the world probably have some involvement in this and there is so mutch stuff we dont know about and i cant wrap my brain around it anymore. this is just a small part of what's going on.

[Lyons]

Meh, nothing we can do about it  <_< I don't have anything to hide anyway.

Send me all your mail. Then I'll post it online.

I don't get why people don't care about privacy.

The only mail I get is reminders to pay my car insurance. It's 2013. My point is there isn't anything we can do about it.

 

Edit: the NSA isn't even interested in anything people like us do in the slightest. Do you people really think they're looking for who you had sex with last weekend or the fact you're talking about your friends behind your back or something mundane like that? NO. It's a counter-intelligence measure. People who are worried about the NSA don't understand what it is or what it's objective is. Even if they DID want all the sh*t you think they want, they've already been recording for 6 years. Yes. If they cared about you personal life, it's already too late. Just give up on this paranoia crap. I bet you all have Facebook and mobile phones. Jesus.

WATCH THEM. Don't be ignorant. It's hilarious that a scripted AMERICAN TV show can get this stuff right.

Damn right, it's awesome :)

[Keystone Nyan Cat]

Don't worry about it. Sooner or later once Americans realize the full extent about it, the problem will solve itself. I will give it 2-3 years before the NSA is gone under riots and protests :P

Merged all the threads

[ixi_your_face]

I'll post what i posted on the now closed thread about this : 

 

Okay, here's my views on this subject.

Governments should tremble at the power of the people. There is no justification whatsoever for having a government that can lord over it's people. Let alone have the tenacity to attempt to spy on the people, and "quieten" the whistleblowers.

It's a very overused comparison, but in this case it fits almost perfectly.

Nazi Germany, was a totalitarian government. Where the 'Hitlerjugend' were encouraged to spy on their parents, to report any "non-German" activities, such activities included :

• Talking bad about anyone in the Reich.
• Talking bad about anything German
• Supporting opposing parties to the Nazi party openly
• Speaking out about how incredibly stupid it is condemning the Germans who just happen to be Jewish to a life of misery

Doing anything the Nazi government (and many other governments at the time, including the Soviet government) didn't agree with would see you "disappear" from the secret police. Whether it be the Gestapo (Nazi) or the KGB (Soviet)

In short, a totalitarian government controls it's people through fear. Whatever it may be. Terrorism or the impending onslaught of Jewish invaders, to degrade and ultimately destroy the freedoms that the people once enjoyed, the replacement? The illusion of safety.

Yeah, sure. People put everything online these days, and that information is public. How many times you speak out of turn to friends about the government isn't. That's a private conversation, it should stay that way.

On the point of 'top secret' documents, I agree they should exist. But not for use of keeping the dirty laundry a secret. That information is there for damage limitation. Not hiding their mistakes.

TL;DR  Whistleblowers keep governments in check, Governments should be terrified of the people and totalitarianism is bad.

heard some sort of nsa software in windows  from here

apparently you can hack a car now too xD

[Hirad123]

what's privacy?

[Keystone Nyan Cat]

Just wanted to ask- there was this movie about a guy who got invloved in some government stuff and then there was some older dude who said that the government have been tapping stuff since years. Everytime someone says bomb, death, or stuff like that on a phone it immediately gets recorded and the person is put on a watchlist or something, and he said that this was 20 years ago. Anyone remember the movie?

Forget the name, movie with will smith and gene hackman.

Rebellion is the right thing to do if the party making the laws and controlling you is wrong, just remember that.
