Those words are associated to non-costly virtue signalling anyway, so who cares. The NSA can't win. If they let them stay, they're accused of lying, if the remove it, they get this response. I'm kind of neutral on the issue, but I do get bothered with societal dynamics where no matter what an actor does, they lose.
- acct1771 9y agoThat's what happens when an actor is, by definition, in opposition of the very fiber of an organization (the US). Read Amendment IV, and tell me how they fit in.
- altcognito 9y agoSeriously? They do a lot more than collecting information on private individuals. If you spent just 15 minutes researching those things honestly, you would find they have a VERY important job to do.
- Someone1234 9y agoProblem is one part of their mission (protecting US infrastructure) often conflicts with another (foreign intelligence gathering). If you patch a Cisco edge router, both friends and enemies benefit. Honestly the NSA should be broken up into two organisations, one geared towards defense and another offense. Or just merge the foreign intelligence gathering parts into the CIA.
- gizmo385 9y ago> two organisations, one geared towards defense and another offense Oftentimes, the best defense is a good offense. Or vice versa. You can't realistically separate one from the other.
