Finally, something about NSA that I can hear without disgust and horror. This is actually the kind of job I was expecting them to do. Unlike dragnet surveillance, breaking internet protocols, etc.
Although the problem remains: the same methods can be used to silence dissidents...
- yread 13y agoDo you think that jihadis will trust a press release from NSA? "Oh, The Great Devil (US) says you're browsing kinky pictures, so we're not gonna trust you anymore and we're gonna take whoever The Great Devil recommends us instead"
- Amadou 13y agoObviously it wouldn't work that way. They would arrange to have the incriminating information show up in a way that wasn't obviously linked to the great satan. Then they would have a double-agent positioned to take control once the main guy was discredited. It isn't like the great satan would be publicly endorsing the double-agent.
- yread 13y agoCool. So how can the double-agent prove that the guy is browsing porn?
- alan_cx 13y agoAmerican and allied lap dogs will. And that helps demonise the "enemy", thus justifying the over reaches and so on.
- Zigurd 13y ago> Although the problem remains: the same methods can be used to silence dissidents But you and the NSA know which is which, right?
