Dont take that "walk"

Dont take that "walk"
I kind of find this story disturbing:

http://www.spiegel.de/international/germ...11451.html

Quote:As a joke, a German man recently invited some friends for a walk around a top secret NSA facility. But the Facebook invitation soon had German federal police knocking at his door. They had been alerted by the American authorities.

He should keep an eye for drones lest he be deemed an enemy combatant.

Quote:But the added interest in his invitation meant that some 70 people gathered on Saturday for the NSA safari in Griesheim -- along with two police cars, one in front and one behind.

It's the Streisand effect. If they'd just let it go and not sent the police to his home, we wouldn't even be reading about it now.

Disturbing...I see. But what is it that truly disturbes you? That their secret group on facebook is being monitored? That German authorities are subservient to the US NSA? Or that an NSA facility actually exists on your country, something that I would find disturbing, and actually out of place, if I were a German citizen.

Actually, as an American enterprise, I'm not really surprised that the US monitors facebook. *tinfoil* I believe it is simply a coverup for a database for the CIA *tinfoil*.

I often worry about making jokes like that and getting into trouble. It's a same the authorities can't detect humour.

It just goes to show that you shouldn't put anything online that you wouldn't shout in public.

Plans on going on a legal walk, and the NSA spies inform ze german polizei, who go and investigate.
Just goes to show what happens when you try and exercise* the rights you thought you had
