This is true.. not much to be done with the major providers are all in bed with the Feds. I mean, the telcos literally allow the Feds to port mirror all their traffic. End to end encryption on your own encrypted storage perhaps.
- autoexec 5y agoI'm not sure if "allow" is the right word here. Really the NSA can set up another Room 641A at any company they want regardless of that company's wishes and with a national security letter the company can be prevented from even telling anyone (like their customers or the media) about it. I was furious when Obama granted telecom companies immunity from prosecution for their role in the warrantless spying, but really it's not exactly fair to pushing people who are strong-armed into compliance.
- aksss 5y agoPerhaps, but if it became public that my telco was allowing NSA to backdoor comms, I’d say the devil made me do it, too. https://www.propublica.org/article/nsa-spying-relies-on-atts-extreme-willingness-to-help https://www.propublica.org/article/nsa-spying-relies-on-atts...
