From Matt Bors:
"There’s a line I’ve seen trotted a few times now that goes, “Ah, we knew all this was happening, you idiots!” We didn’t know. If you knew about PRISM you should have scooped The Guardian and made a name for yourself. The fact is, this story is mammoth and is bringing an incredible amount of attention to a program that’s been operating in total secrecy for a decade. But, yes, you’re smart and get a pat on the head for not being a “sheeple.” "

- detcader 13y agoCare to enlighten us as to how? And by "us" I mean President Obama (who was pretty much forced to comment on it and certainly didn't say anything like you did), those in the administration going after the leaker(s) (for if this is uninteresting, the leakers aren't in the wrong at all), and those people who marked the slides as TOP SECRET. Oh and the German data protection and freedom of information commissioner [1] What of the others programs in the slides? Two even had to be redacted out because of the potential of the fallout against NY-based Guardian US [1] http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/07/europe-surveillance-prism-idUSL5N0EJ31S20130607 http://www.reuters.com/article/2013/06/07/europe-surveillanc...
- AlexeiSadeski 13y agoThis thread concerns unlimited access to the entire internet. PRISM concerns limited access to a few massive internet companies.
