    I've been reading about this guy the past few days. HOLY SHIT.

    "You could read anyone’s email in the world, anybody you’ve got an email address for. Any website: You can watch traffic to and from it. Any computer that an individual sits at: You can watch it. Any laptop that you’re tracking: you can follow it as it moves from place to place throughout the world. It’s a one-stop-shop for access to the NSA’s information."

    "You can tag individuals... Let’s say you work at a major German corporation and I want access to that network, I can track your username on a website on a form somewhere, I can track your real name, I can track associations with your friends and I can build what’s called a fingerprint, which is network activity unique to you, which means anywhere you go in the world, anywhere you try to sort of hide your online presence, your identity.”

    • Reap what you sow bitchez. n not a word or action taken..yurimon
    • Not a word? There have been tons of words on the subject. It's a major media news story.nb
    • oops no action taken. the criminals are still at large... i mean.. n you are still sheep monkeys. everyone is.yurimon
    • Well, they haven't disclosed all the information. Some 2 million documents, most of which haven't been published.nb
    • These things take time, perhaps there will be fundamental changes. Too early to tell.nb
    • yeah but no one who broke the law arrested or visible outrage for something to happen..yurimon
    • Huge ramifications in the security world. Global security agencies are being affected & taking measures.nb
    • Just because there was no public protests doesn't mean there is no effect on the world. Not everything warrants a revolution.nb
