Ah, the liars are releasing a new statement. Very interesting. And their job is tougher now? Interesting. How did they ever fight criminals and terrorists before mass surveillance! Unimaginable.
- rocky1138 13y agoThere has always been mass surveillance. Consider: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/tudors/spying_01.shtml http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/tudors/spying_01.shtml

- Roboprog 13y agoExactly, as if they couldn't store them. Maybe, just maybe, enough lay people are used to using "Google" to query a mountain of crap (the internet) to find a few interesting nuggets that they realize the government could do the same. Step 2: getting people to realize how badly this can go when correlation = causation, and you are guilty by association.
