NSA is a spy agency, expecting them not to use vulnerabilities they find is like sending them into a gunfight with a pocketful of rocks. Ask the Palestinians how that works out in the long run.
I think much of the NSA's surveillance is unconstitutional and should be rolled back by at least 2 orders of magnitude. That doesn't have to entail turning the world over to Russian and Chinese hackers.

- jryle80 13y agoPretty interesting statement. Why? Nations have track records of not killing/spying on each others?

- LyndsySimon 13y agoNations certainly have a record of killing large numbers of their citizens - particularly in the past century. It's reasonably to be suspicious of government.
