XKeyscore: NSA tool collects 'nearly everything a user does on the internet'
July 31, 2013 at 1:13 pm
Story -

http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/ju...nline-data

Training presentation slides -

http://www.theguardian.com/world/interac...esentation

Quote:A top secret National Security Agency program allows analysts to search with no prior authorization through vast databases containing emails, online chats and the browsing histories of millions of individuals, according to documents provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden.

The NSA boasts in training materials that the program, called XKeyscore, is its "widest-reaching" system for developing intelligence from the internet.

Not if they're analyzing the comment section of Youtube.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

-Stephen Jay Gould

I am not ashamed if the NSA knows my physical infatuation with Emma Watson. She is over 21 years old!

I guess this means that the idiots on Rapture Ready will continue to use "0bama" when referring to the president, as if the NSA wouldn't have caught on to that by now.
