Because this particular military spy organisation is being deployed by the US government against its own citizens, en masse, as an end-around well-established due process and constitutional protections that require individualised suspicion of wrongdoing. It also represents a giant exfiltration target for other state actors, like those who breached OPM. NSA hurts the security of Americans under the guise of preventing foreign terrorism, which happens to pose a risk comparable to lightning strikes.
- PlzSnow 11y ago"Because this particular military spy organisation is being deployed by the US government against its own citizens, en masse" But it's not. That's the problem. There's no evidence whatsoever of it doing that.
- kordless 11y agoThere's also no evidence that you are a government/elitist shill, but I still think you are. How's that for levying blame?
- facetube 11y agoSo you're telling me there's no evidence that the NSA has committed call logs of every US Verizon subscriber to their own persistent storage for later inspection? No evidence that NSA intercepted inter-datacenter transfers of American companies, who were housing the personal data of Americans? No evidence that Americans have been swept up in overly-broad "one foreign end" wiretaps? All of the weakdh.org people are crazy? That well-documented room in the AT&T building in San Francisco was just a big misunderstanding?
