He was running one of the largest Tor exit nodes at 2Gbps. Meanwhile the NSA was reading everyone's Facebook posts.
The irony is so thick you could cut it with a knife.
- drzaiusapelord 12y agoExcept prior to his whistleblowing he was the NSA and helped enable that kind of data collection. It always seemed odd that defectors suddenly get absolved of their crimes. If the NSA, as an organization, is guilty of felonies, then their employees must face time, including Snowden. That's justice right? Or does the "I was just following orders/paycheck" defense suddenly work as well? Serious question, if we do round-up the NSA, who gets in trouble and who doesn't? Just the leaders? Are we also absolving Congress and POTUS? Please explain.
- jessaustin 12y agoMake up your mind bro. Is it bad that he sysadminned for the bastards, or is it bad that he stopped? It can't be both. I'm all for voting out current office-holders, but in their defense: the NSA not only lied to Congress, but spied on Congress so they could see how well their lies were playing.
- thesimpsons1022 12y agonot everyone is guilty. most people there work on stuff completely unrelated to the unconstitutional crimes they commit. it is also well known that soon after he found out the true extent of the invasions of privacy he did try to change the system from the inside. it was only after it failed that he decided to leak info.
