We are better than Russia and China!
Really setting a high standard for yourself, America...
It would be worthwhile to add that these individuals were already on the radar due to old fashioned police work, not due to a dragnet.
The thing with unpaid internships is that it enshrines income inequality (and hence other inequalities, like race/gender).
Who can afford to work for free? The kids of rich people. Let's give them more advantages!

We need to make a new sales tax, and give all the proceeds to video game makers. What would we do without titles like "Lollipop Chainsaw?"
"It's a bit hyperbolic, but..."
Is it though?
So much win.
Also it's eavesdropping to videotape police (with audio)/
Well based on what I read they can actually publish it. They are only allowed to publish ranges if it includes all law enforcement requests as well, right?
Well do that, but then publish the non-classified numbers separately. Being that it's not classified or sealed, it's a first amendment violation to prevent them from disclosing regular law enforcement requests.
Simple subtraction gives you the rest.
What would that conversation even look like? He would make a few well reasoned arguments and you would resort to calling him petty names the way you already are? Why would anyone (other than you and your troll brethren) want that?
Greenwald should probably release the documents as encrypted torrents where he can release the password via a surrogate if anything should happen to him.
And that is all I need for evidence :) Bold face type in titles, SOLD
I don't think I've ever seen bold in the heading before. Considering the shocking titles we are used to seeing, it just goes to show how unbelievable that is.
People never appreciate civil liberties until they lose them...
"Why is he still in this job?"
Evidently because he has no qualms about lying.
I'm going to invoke Godwin's Law and say that, similarly, pretty much everything the Nazis did was legal in their eyes.
Maybe they don't have access to "ALL THE DATA" but they are getting so much of it that they need to set up entire separate servers to handle it all?
That doesn't sound like this monitoring is the exception to the rule, rather it IS the rule.
"We need more cybersecurity laws, because after we're done pissing off the world everyone is going to be gunning for us!"
Best comment ^^^
I feel the same way..
All I heard was, "Change! Change is bad! Stop the change!"
What about the rest of the world. If we want to have our human rights respected we need to avoid the US at all costs, right?
It's really frustrating how law enforcement view civil liberties groups.
A lot of times, most law enforcement people are very black and white on the law. "The law is the law is the law is the law etc." Pot itself may not be that bad, but it's against the law so therefore...
But clearly, there are some laws cops and other law enforcement types find more important than others. Minor possession of marijuana is apparently more important than fundamental civil liberties, from what I can tell. I never understand why the constitution isn't black and white but other laws are, in their minds.
It seems the key is whatever supports an authoritarian mindset is good, in their minds... eg. strict drug laws do, whereas not civil liberty laws because they undermine that mindset.
