Blackberry. Haven't heard anything about them whoring themselves out to the NSA yet.

Windows I can replace with Linux, for the most part.

$1:
WASHINGTON -- A massive email surveillance program run by the National Security Agency is not directed at Americans and is legally permissible and highly useful for anti-terror operation, a senior administration official said in a statement Thursday night.

The statement, provided on condition of anonymity, came hours after news outlets revealed the existence of the PRISM program, which provides the NSA with access to records of America’s largest Internet companies. The statement is an implicit confirmation of the program’s existence. It also is the first defense of the massive surveillance effort that, until Thursday evening, the public did not know existed.


http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/0 ... 99858.html

This all but confirms the leak as legitimate. PRISM exists. Microsoft, Google, and all the rest are straight up lying to their users and freely handing over personal data.

$1:
James Clapper, the director of National Intelligence, has released his first on-the-record statement about the PRISM program, calling the disclosure of it “reprehensible” and insisting that Americans aren’t targeted.


Americans aren't targeted (being Canadian what the hell does this mean to us?), therefore it's all good? :roll:

Any digital information that enters the USA via cables or airwaves is recorded by the NSA and has been for many years. The big hullabaloo here is the tracking and recording of domestic correspondence.

Those crazy American conspiracy theorists who live up trees with guns and drink their own pee don’t seem quite so crazy anymore.
I don't care how validated you feel with your convictions; if you drink your own urine, you'll always be at least somewhat crazy to me :lol:

What do you think the folk on the ISS drink?

That would be the NSA's Echelon correct? Had Bush not started this and Obama not continued it and a terrorist attack happened they would have been blamed Bush more because everything is his fault. The gandstanding by the Right and lame stream media on this is hypocritical.

Maybe the old BlackBerry OS not sure about the new one.

Well I don't know about the rest of America about 8-9 years ago the CIA was tapping my phone and monitoring my computer use. Thing is I was told it was going to be happening and why. My roomate at the time had applied to be a CIA computer anylasit. Not exactly that but its the best way to discribe it. He would have been statioined in Alaska doing code and encryption breaking for computer stuff. Never could wrap my mind around what exactly all he would have been doing. What was funny is that he was not even a US citizen but a British national and made it way into the process. Out of all the ppl that applied he made it to the cut of 32 before he was taken of the canidit list.

I assume it has stopped but still I'll never know for sure. I loved warning people when our talks started going political or what ever that hey FYI my phone is being tapped by the CIA. They would laugh till I told them I was serious. The stunned silance was priceless.

On one side, we have people that scream that terrorism in general, Muslims in particular, are the greatest threats to America... on the other side, we have people that scream that government is getting intrusive in trying to stop it.

I really hope these are not the same people.

Sadly, they tend to be.

I'm not so much pissed at the NSA for collecting whatever it can get its hands on, I'm more ticked with the tech companies. For example Google's motto is "don't be evil" and they pull this crap? After all the hoopla Facebook had to deal with on privacy issues already they leave their users info up for grabs?

Even once the government openly admits Prism's existence, the tech companies have the gall to plead ignorance? They assured their users their info was safe with them, even when they damn well knew otherwise.

Screw them.

I'd be surprise if the Republicans would want to scrap this, unless they think that promise would help them to win the next election.
