But they sure can serve it successfully. They control the cables through which everyone's internet traffic passes, and when you download a program (such as Xcode) they can substitute it with their poisoned program [1]. I'll quote:

If I didn't know that the government is manipulating social media all the time, I totally would not think you're a shill trying to discredit these news reports by claiming that Jake Appelbaum is a non-technical journalist. * Revea

You still believe the system isn't broken? You've got to be pretty naive, my friend. Or a damn great optimist. Obama was supposed to reverse Bush's policies. Instead he enhanced them. It doesn't matter who you vote for.

They do record and store (foreign and domestic) phone calls. Your comment proves you're simply an ignorant or a shill. Proof: * NSA Collects ‘Word for Word’ Every Domestic Communication, Says Former Analyst http://www.pbs.or

I'd say the BBC report is wrong. Vodafone's report says: > Under s.5 of the Intelligence Services Act 1994 (“ISA”) the Secretary of State may, on an application made by the Security Service, the Intelligence Services or GCHQ, i

And then search for "direct access". Five of the six countries with direct access appear to be Qatar, Greece, Hungary, Ireland and, not surprisingly, the UK.

No, it wasn't. Today's revelation is that the NSA records and stores 100% of the phone calls made in the Bahamas. The Post's revelation was that the NSA records and stores 100% of the phone calls made in an unnamed country .

Is it the NSA's job to record every single phone call made in every foreign country? Is that what you're saying? I can't call my mother without my conversation being stored?

Art of the Problem has the best explanation I've ever seen of the Diffie-Hellman key exchange (the basis for TSL/SSL). I wish this video was shown in my Crypto class: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NcDVERzMGw&amp
