No one in this thread suggested that the NSA is copying data out of servers except you. It has been reported that they are wholesale tapping communications lines, and trying to collect SSL private keys, so Sneak's sentiment is not wrong. To argue terminology is to play their game, which they are good at and we will lose. If you disagree with something on a factual level, say that instead.
- PhasmaFelis 13y agoHere's an example of why understanding the NSA's terminology is important: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/08/guide-deceptions-word-games-obfuscations-officials-use-mislead-public-about-nsa https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2013/08/guide-deceptions-word-... If a reporter asks a government stooge if the NSA engages in bulk collection of Americans' data, the stooge can say no with a straight face because the NSA has officially defined "bulk collection" to mean something other than "collecting in bulk." In order to carve through their lies, we need to be able to understand and navigate their twisted terminology.
