I am thinking that the subject might be child pornography, espionage or cyber terrorism. Should some of those blogs had some sort of method of communicating information with terrorists I do not see why the NSA would not shut the whole thing down.
I hate to be in the shoes of those 70000 people but from the article and evidence available right now this is a really serious matter.
- blantonl 16y agoThe NSA doesn't have legal authority to do anything as you have indicated. Legal authority to bring down these sites were almost certainly done through the FBI, via a National security letter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Letter http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Security_Letter
- danek 16y agomaybe the fbi thinks terrorists were communicating via blog comments, in a secret code designed to look like spam? as far as 'movie-plot terrorism' goes, i don't think it's too far fetched.
- naturalized 16y agoDoes it mean that any site can be shut down if it's used by terrorists? Which one is next: facebook, because terrorists can create a group there and send messages, twitter, because a terrorist cell can use it to coordinate attacks, or perhaps wordpress? Which service will be shut down next?
