The NSA and GCHQ have been doing this for years, so why complain about Turkey doing this? The only difference I can see is targeting individuals vs targeting the general population.

- javajosh 13y agoYour tacit assertion is that if something wrong is done for years, and you find out it's done one more time, you shouldn't bother complaining about it. People like you have existed for all time, and will always exist, but your views truly don't matter: change comes because people continue to fight for what is right, despite the balance of years. Slavery on US soil had been legal and "normal" for hundreds of years, but that didn't stop people from "complaining" about it, and eventually changing it. Women's suffrage, same story. Wanton violation of our 4th Amendment rights in the digital age will proceed accordingly.

- ryanobjc 13y agoWhen I see messages like this, I start to think... who is this person. What are their agenda? What's the chance they are turkish? After all, if you cannot see the difference between the alleged single person targeting and the blanket targeting of an entire population, I'm not really sure you deserve to be here. I guess I'll leave you with that Stalin quote "Death of one man is a tragedy. Death of a million is a statistic".
- hadoukenio 13y agoWow, a bit harsh. What I was trying to say was that Governments do shit like this, regardless of if they are China, North Korea, Turkey or America. In terms of doing things against their citizens, every country is in the Axis of Evil, so STOP complaining and instead get behind projects that will fix this shit by making the internet bulletproof.
