> Is NSA on Hacker News? Yes. CNE (computer network exploitation) and information warfare (formerly cryptology) people. They're into the same stuff as the rest of us, of course. > I would be naive to think that there are not NSA agents attempting to sway opinion on this site in general. I dunno. The NSA folks I'm aware of are just geeks looking for news and discussion, the same as everyone else. What you were talking about I believe would fall under "psychological operations" and I do not believe that is a mission goal of NSA/CSS. Disclaimer: I am not NSA, nor associated with the government currently :)
