NSA's New surveillance program

[alexyousef]

The NSA has recently started a new monitoring system called xKeyscore.  Snowden hinted at this in an earlier interview "I, sitting at my desk," said Snowden, could "wiretap anyone, from you or your accountant, to a federal judge or even the president, if I had a personal email".  The implications of this are many. How do you guys feel about this new development from the NSA?

Oh dear NSA. Well they are doing their Job. But it is annoying and stupid for people. I live in the Uk so all is well mostly.

This is :/ just wow.

[Samdb]

Don't they get the idea that people want them to stop?

I sure hope people elect a new president in 2016 that is against this.

I doubt any president will get elected that is against these programs. Any president that actually has their people's best interest in mind are not valuable to the powers that be. If a "Peoples' Candidate" does enter the race (if they could even get that far), they would most likely be crushed by a smear campaign.

 

Don't they get the idea that people want them to stop?

 

Yes, but they don't care. They will stop when their people revolt, and probably only then.

Until people actually do something (complaining on the Internet doesn't really help) they are going to continue with it.

Just like Digital Fortress...

I wish all the idiots would stop voting. They keep electing morons.

 

The NSA's motto might as well be "Its only illegal if you get caught". They dont give a rats ass about the Constitution. To them its a document that keeps the citizens in check and makes us feel secure. I really hope these leaks continue and finally cause the masses to throw out the current politicians. We need to bring back the government that the Constitution outlines. One that is for the people by the people.

People should stop caring, most are way too lazy to do anything about it. Sitting behind your computer and writing in caps and using hashtags won't get you anywhere. But that is the society we live in.

I think they only care about themselves really.

Why's that, it's probably more use to be gathering info about other countries if you think about it

They are more concerned with internal threats to be honest. The Air Force do the spying on Al Qaeda and all that.

So true...And then on top of all this they do not teach the constitution well in schools...its like they do not want us to know are rights(sometimes its nice to be home schooled)
