What do you propose Google should do when it receives a National Security Letter or a subpeona? Refuse as a matter of principle, face a Federal indictment, lose, appeal, and then lose again in the Appeals Court?
If you don't like things like NSLs, then the PATRIOT Act needs to be revised or overturned. That's not Google's responsibility.

Second, he was making somewhere around 120,000 a year. And I believe much of his family's work is related to the US government. Losing all of those are too much of sacrifice for a defection.

And this intel is worth many times more than $120k. I think he is waiting for a buyer to approach him; he can't die by the hands of the Americans, the Chinese will score one hell of a coup, but he can't sell them to the Chinese because they will surely doublecross him. His closest bet are the Russians. But Russian Intelligence is now so sparse that safehouses are little and listening stations are hard to contact. Then again, these documents are probably prelimary; NSA would probably have something deeper; I am willing to bet that they know ten times more about America's enemies than the CIA or FBI.

No, PRISM is designed to spy on foreigners. Americans only get caught in the net when they are communicating with foreigners. That's why I said the other day that if I lived outside the US, I would make sure I'm not storing my communications on servers belonging to US entities.

You can change your own search engine, but what about the people around you? Google has become so widespread that everyone is using it; even if a fraction of people stop using it, many others will still do so.
Intelligence collection is often done indirectly, sometimes through people around you who are less informed, or are induced to give up information to surrepitious people who have taken an interest in you. Their actions will give you away even if you don't. That is the problem - you can't change the mindset of the people around you; often which they are the most serious leaks than those people who don't like you. IMO, we should just keep using and watch their next move. The PRISM issue is seriously overblown; the Utah factility is not yet up and running yet people are making a hoo-hah about it like it is a anti-Babel of mankind. Who knows; maybe Vexx and his co-workers are already near-completing Skynet and the Utah station is meant to house its central processing power - this probably explains why he isn't as frequent of a poster in this thread as before. Usually greedy people put money before anything else; if he is indeed one, he probably abandoned them when he could have bought a loli off human traffickers, then breed with her in Saudi Arabia or South America.

Lets take Washington post here. Which we can assume is reasonable, non partisan source (at least on this subject)

I actually believe that action to be within the Fourth Amendment. Just because people take overexpanding view of what that amendment is supposed to be doesn't mean what the government is doing is evil.
Having a concern that there might be abuse (as in any human system) is one thing, immediatel labeling any supposed violation of an non-existent right is another. |
