So Google can eavesdrop on everyone's communication globally and relay that to the US government. If I were a foreign government I would tell them to fuck off. There is no point in having a spy network of a corporation that belongs to

Which is stupid. I would think to myself I am being accused of a crime, I better remain silent lest they try to pin this on me. I have tried being polite, but it's quickly getting to the point where the righteous indignation is such th

Fuck the news, acquire knowledge. :D The reason it pops up is someone noticed it, posted it online, and it grew viral because it's something people like to hear.

Real privacy doesn't exist. It's also a legal fiction. People assumed the legal fiction of online privacy existed because they fear that big baby government will fuck over innocents or people that are not a real threat to society.

The outcome in this case of being conspiracy minded is good: 1) You don't trust your data online. 2) You keep as much of it in your control as you can. 3) You stop using Facebook and look for alternatives that don't catalog your l

Yes and unlike Microsoft they probably don't give access to their exploits to NSA before they patch their systems. /sarcasm. They will say whatever the government tells them to say, your data is not safe, and if you don't thi

Snowden's job is done. They will leave him alone as the US leaves alone dissidents once they have briefed the CIA and various other organizations and given testimony on how they have a secret, secret plan on the basis of which the US c

Most people don't give a shit because it does not effect them. If we can show them that it does effect them, their opinions will change. And it does effect everyone, because if you have to worry about explaining what you say to other p

These edge cases are stupid. If 99% of Americans are safe, that's good enough. Dudes that actually break the law are not our problem, government should get them. The problem is all the other people who are doing nothing wrong other tha

Nationalists don't really care about the rights and freedoms of other people. They are only concerned about the rights and freedoms of their own country.

Or it could mean Google is lying or just trying to create rhetoric to confuse the public to keep them from looking for alternatives to their search engine and other services.

Time for Americans to wake up to the tyranny they have been subjecting the rest of the world to since WWII. If foreigners don't have rights, then sooner or later those same rules will get applied to Americans. In fact that's alrea

US: China, we scared, you all scary with your cyber-espionage. Sure we hack, topple nations, all in good fun. But when you do it, you so serious. China: Fine, give us Taiwan. US: No. China: Fine we continue to have fun too!
