While I wouldn't consider the comment down-vote worth as someone else deemed it, I find one part I have to respond to. "if you're not from the US, I feel like you should have known that was a possibility." Known exactly

Why do you keep stating such things as "he's trying to keep it safe" or "NSA is trying to help the citizens of the US." Do you have information on this or do you keep on stating your opinion as fact?

No, no. edit: Tried to respond below but have been "submitting too fast" while submitting nothing for far too long to care to wait more. I am not saying the NSA has flawless execution, you are the one repeating it for whatever rea

"Realistically these companies don't have much choice" Of course they do. They can comply or not. If they do not comply they may face court. Of course it is impossible to say how that court would go since none of them are mak

"I know it for the same reason I know unicorns and leprechauns don't exist - there is no credible evidence supporting it." Of course there is no credible evidence when evidence is known to be actively suppressed. See: 'I

Aside from the details that show the NSA having employees in companies install monitoring hardware worldwide? Or those that assist in providing data in return for some themselves? None of that counts to you because "there's just n

"No one has "control" over the Internet." Aside from the people who control the hardware, and the NSA/others seem to have control over those people, getting them to install monitoring hardware. "I also don&#x27

Too big to be considered anything but fellow conspirators.

Deciphering the doublespeak is tough. "Touches" implies, at least to me, data that passes through hardware controlled one way or another by the NSA or it's corporate affiliates. It's affiliates.. That brings me to "

Sure thing buddy, extremely large whales absorbing a pond of little fish will make the price (rate of exchange relative to whatever currency you fancy) more stable. All sarcasm aside I highly doubt this will be a good thing for end users of

You assume that I made that assumption, that is wrong. My position is those attempting to cause change from within have while at work helped give inertia and acceptance to what they think they want to fight against while at home watching th

Right, it is called disengaging, but that is not what you did. You yourself choose to waste your time and energy on this.

How did it waste your time? How is that a reason to attempt to moderate the comment from others by actively down-voting it? What.

Naturally my mind went to how investigations need to brew after data acquisition, but withholding bits of an investigation for those reasons is entirely proper as well. In an era of journalism changing to be more distributed and less struct

Someone is terribly mad at sane suggestions and commentary today. Yet another seemingly reasonable comment down-voted.

A better suited title would be: 'Press Paid To Fail To Ask Any NSA Questions At President Obama’s NSA Press Conference' This fits entirely into the US government putting a noose on what journalists are and how they must act: &quot

I never said anything was black and white, just that a very large amount of people have become complicit in what they acknowledge as wrong-doings. As to working within the system, attempting to halt or mitigate what you view as malfeasance

After being informed nearly daily of how one's work assists another in their deeds, then continuing to accept salary, it is compliance and complicity. Others have shown they do not need to comply, to various ends. Snowden[1], Klein[2],

As I referenced in another thread, Obama himself voted for the FISA amendment[1]. How clearer must it get that people working for companies like AT&T and Booz Allen are complicit in receiving monetary remuneration for collaborating with

The US government has been making a huge issue of who is a "real" journalist as to ensure journalist protection does not happen spread to very articulate, well informed, level headed bloggers. This is serious.

True that, from my POV I received requests on an event by event basis. Many of these people probably had to sign as part of employment.

AOL is a public company. It's actions at large events are public unless explicitly noted otherwise. What is large? Stagehand here, 1000+ is large. I've been made to sign agreements for smaller venues. Edit: To elaborate, smaller v
