Online Privacy and Why You Should Care
In 2013, Edward Snowden, an American computer professional, leaked classified information from the National Security Agency (NSA).

The revelations suggested that the NSA together with huge technology companies were involved in massive online surveillance and violation of internet privacy of users around the world.

Some internet users have since become more skeptical about the true aims of social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp, asking questions like,

Was Facebook developed by the CIA? Is social media the new medium for espionage ? Was it funded my oppressive governments?

Re: Online Privacy and Why You Should Care
The scariest part to me is that, while they've cast this huge dragnet over the entire populace of the country, they aren't even attempting, in the very least, to prove it's worth.

If they want to keep terror threats quiet, fine. Yet, any abductions, missing children, weapons or prostitution rings, organized crime...why aren't they using their surveillance to curb these? Much less advertising these facts in an attempt to mitigate public opinion and skepticism. Why aren't they using it for good?

It's all nefarious as hell.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 67793557

Not really whining, friend. It's an opinion, often shared on community message boards such as this.

Got anything useful to share, or just *whining* about others' posts?

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 66048410

Well, you're right, I don't know empirically, yet common sense and knowing the current administration's penchant for self promotion, I expect that yes, it would be all over the news in an effort to give the public some confidence that all this spying is in their best interest.

Look around the news, the same people that have offended many times prior, are getting caught be the same old means. They very repeat offenders that they should be paying attention to.

NSA would be all over it like stink on a monkey if they could spin it in a "public safety" manner. "Security", after all, is their middle name. Let's see it.

I'm not defending anything, 93557. It is what it is, and you're here as well.

Wanna talk, or do you prefer to just keep slinging child-sized turds around?

You started it, m'man. You wanna talk about the OP, or just troll this shit over and over?

I'd be interested in your opinion as an outsider to the US, but all you seem to be interested in doing is tearing down the platform you now are trolling on.

I'd say you're the shill here, yet I don't think anyone would pay you for this circular dribble.
