One of the scariest people I've seen. I was all over this site when the Snowden stuff leaked. Which was hilarious cuz the front page looked like a bug because every story was basically the same and they were -all- being up-voted.
This person finally showed me the true terror of being against someone that fully believes that they are doing the right thing. (I'm a strong advocate for privacy).
What is so scary, is when you even try to nail him to a wall about the capabilities and what they're doing:

Note how many times he says "not in the USA". What that means -> if the email gets bounced to a server in the UK, they can now read that email. And spy on that citizen.
So yes, the NSA could spy on Americans, provided they aren't in America. Or their network traffic goes outside the country.
Really scary.
- dwd 6y agoThe GCHQ collect cross-Atlantic traffic, and as a Five-Eyes partner they make that data available to the other members such as the NSA. So the NSA doesn't collect American's data (the British do) so what they have said is true, from a certain point of view.
