…had they stopped? Or even slowed down? I’ve presumed that no one being held accountable meant USGov de facto granting permission for this to continue unabated, just please be more careful about being caught.
- colordrops 4y agoThere's no way they've stopped.
- edgyquant 4y agoThey definitely stopped if only to save face. The scrutiny they received from the public was constant and widespread
- colordrops 4y agoWhat's your source? The public has no visibility at all to what they are doing. Their work is classified.
- aSockPuppeteer 4y agoLOL. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iEh-l_G1Gcs https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iEh-l_G1Gcs NSA director lies to congress
- edgyquant 4y agoYes they’d stopped. The narrative they hadn’t is peddled by the same people who don’t realize that Bush era torture was also shutdown by congressional oversight. America isn’t perfect but it’s damn sure answerable to its citizens when they decide something is worth having answers for
- lazide 4y agoReally? So who answered for it? Last I heard, literally zero folks went to jail (or even lost their jobs).
- dragonwriter 4y ago> …had they stopped? They claimed they had. Of course, they claimed that they weren’t doing it before concrete details leaked which made that impossible to get away with anymore. But they’d probably like to stop risking embarrassment if they got caught again.
