I hate how the US Government says things after the fact that we have seen many lies come from them over the past 6 months. Seriously, what do they expect? For us to start believing them right away?
- powertower 13y agoYou're getting the word "fact" in your sentance confused with the word "speculation". They are not the same thing.
- spoiledtechie 13y agoFact. NSA has been spying on all Americans without their knowledge for years.
- powertower 13y ago...and now that the real facts are not fitting your narrative, you're starting to contradict and deny those facts using every emotional response and every fallacy you can think of.
- nitrogen 13y agoWhat are those "real facts"? The Verizon Business court order alone is damaging enough.
- saraid216 13y agoWhat do you mean "without their knowledge"? You didn't know?
- Karunamon 13y agoKnowing that the NSA "watches a bunch of people" is a far sight different from knowing the NSA is watching you personally.
- saraid216 13y agoEh, I guess you guys are just more optimistic than I. I've pretty much assumed for years that anything I type or say is recorded. NSA, black hat, script kiddie, whatever.
- dinkumthinkum 13y agoWhat I don't understand, especially with the constant barrage of posts on HN about this topic ... Were you all really unaware the NSA did things like this or PRISM? I mean really? You don't have to be a conspiracy theorist to be this naive. I find the shock and indignation over this news a little over the top. I'm not defending it or anything and I'm not saying it is not an important issue ... but really you never knew or suspected this before? I find it hard to believe any intelligent person would not be surprised to find out the NSA was NOT "spying" on citizens.
