I watched on a 5 year old Mac in Chrome. Looked great to me.

Actually, yes, the feds are using Section 215 of the Patriot Act to get FISC orders on all metadata of Americans' domestic phone and internet communications from ISPs and phone companies. The feds are leveraging a theory that you have

This is close but wrong in some very important ways. CALEA does not apply to Google (except Google fiber and perhaps Google Voice). Google does have to comply with FBI requests for emails and stored data, but they do not have to comply with

No, a judge does not see an individual request in a 702 order. This is the entire point of the 702 and PRISM -- NSA analysts no longer have to fill out paperwork to get data from Google/Facebook/Etc, so long as they are 51% sure t

Per the equipment: http://www.wired.com/politics/security/news/2007/08/wiretap?... And yes, the NSA tells the FISA court it wants a court order to spy on Al Qaeda in Pakistan or Chinese spies. Each

The FBI as the conduit makes sense. They've got a very sophisticated set of private fiber connections to ISPs and phone companies. So far as I can tell, this article from 2007 is the only comprehensive look at the FBI's private sp

No, this could happen to a U.S. citizen as well. The Electronic Communications Privacy Act applies to foreigners as well as Americans. A grand jury subpoena can get at your communications without any showing of probable cause, whether you a

FISA is not just about spying on Americans. The FISA Amendments Act of 2008 granted the government the right to order communication providers to give the government content on foreigners with a broad, non-particularized court order. This is

There's 2 different things going on, under different legal authorities and Google is confusing them. Verizon was given a Patriot Act order for business records, metadata; no names; no content, but all citizens or foreigner. Google and

Not only is this a troll comment, but it's based on false assumptions. Nick Bilton lives in San Francisco. Also, he knows how to code and used to work in the NYT tech development arm.

That sounds really great, but the courts have been very lenient to those who file false DMCA notices and the burden of proof falls on you to prove that it was filed falsely intentionally . So, I'd say, don't lawyer up yet. File the counter

So Business Insider is summarizing a post from Fast Company, which itself is summarizing a post from CNet, which did actual reporting and has the text of the decision. I wish OPs would take the time to actually figure this out before submit

Right. So taking HSBC to trial for rampant, repeated money-laundering for drug cartels would have been more fitting of a dictatorship? Instead we let a criminal conspiracy go unpenalized except for a lame monetary settlement. Warren's dead

So high Klout users get one one-day pass and you hand over your e-mail address to AA. The promotion makes sense - AA.com gets publicity and likely some tweets from popular Tweeters, etc. And they get a chance to upsell people to a club memb

The preponderance of comments that "this has happened to me and I'm a guy so the world's not sexist" is so discouraging. It's logically inconsistent and a giant sign of a defense mechanism. It's a problem and you might do some of these thin

The Justice Department successfully convinced the FCC to expand CALEA to ISPs by having the FCC treat ISPs as common carriers. (CALEA is a long story, but basically the internet freedom fighters agreed to not oppose CALEA so long as the int
