heh, the irony.
- fixxer 13y agoWhen I read these statements (this one, the NSA press statement earlier, etc.), I honestly wonder if anyone on the side of government actually does get the irony.
- seferphier 13y agoI'm sure some of them understand the irony but they have to (blindly) obey to authority. see related: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milgram_experiment
- fixxer 13y agoWe hope. The alternative is a bunch of Dr. Strangeloves are running things.
- clicks 13y agoIf you want some more irony: Keith Alexander, chief of NSA, was at the last Defcon [1] giving talks wearing jeans and.. yes, a t-shirt with EFF slogan: https://twitter.com/EFF/status/346011010819305472 https://twitter.com/EFF/status/346011010819305472 [1]: http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57481689-83/nsa-director-finally-greets-defcon-hackers/ http://news.cnet.com/8301-1009_3-57481689-83/nsa-director-fi...
- alan_cx 13y agoAhhhh, a subliminal message, to seed the idea the the EFF is puppet of the NSA too. Spooky...
- seferphier 13y agoYou have to wear clothes to "fit in" with the crowd. It is like camouflaging to your environment: "Sometimes you guys get a bad rap," Alexander said. "From my perspective, what you're doing to figure out vulnerabilities in systems" is great." It is great because we need to recruit hackers like you to join NSA and find vulnerabilities to gather "intelligence" on everyone! >The country also needs better sharing between private companies and the government, something that proposed cybersecurity legislation can help fix Translation: We need to "fix the sharing of data" by forcing private companies, namely, Google, Apple, Facebook, Verizon and Microsoft to hand over all their data on users through legal means.
