Excellent principled stand by Mikko.
Minor problem ".... In fact, I'm not expecting other conference speakers to cancel. Most of your speakers are american anyway – why would they care about surveillance that’s not targeted at them but at non-americans."
Incorrect - NSA surveillance most definitely HAS targeted Americans in America. That is precisely what the Snowden disclosures show - leaving aside all the contortions of "Only Collecting data is not surveillance - Metadata is not Surveillance, etc, etc"
- jorde 13y agoI'm 100% Mikko knows this and he is just being sarcastic.
- suprgeek 13y agoHmm ...complete Sarcasm fail on my part then. Getting harder and harder to tell.
- azakai 13y agoDoes not look like sarcasm to me either.
- jbergstroem 13y agoIt's most likely a response to the 60 minutes feature episode on their (the NSA's) actions where they abstained from spying on Americans. If they were, they'd only target non-Americans.
