NSA surveillance

[silenthunder]

So by now I'm sure everybody's heard about the NSA knowing everything about our private information etc. etc. (what else did we expect?), but of you Firefox users, have you noticed on the homepage that Mozilla has a link on the bottom that leads to a letter to be sent to Congress on the peoples behalf demanding that they stop/illegalize the surveillance and publicize everything that they have done? For those non-firefox users, here is the link to it:

What's everybody's thoughts on this, and did you sign it?

I cant use FF on this pc due to its memory leak(it either crashes after an hour, or bogs down horribly. damn shitty pc). that being said thanks for sharing. While i think it should be fought for/signed i dont think it will do much good. By that i mean next time they try this it will just be that much better hidden. It can take care of the problem, but not the disease(the disease being congress itself, not a gov agency, as they derive their powers from congress). Anyway still worth supporting.

I signed it from the link some maybe two or three days back. Is it legit?

The truth is guys, the bad thing in the world is the US Government. Countries just don't have the balls to speak up against it. Now that Obama has realized how the peoples thoughts are changing, he fears a revolution. So he is surveying all of his citizens because he fears them. All tyrants go through a stage like this in their rule. It's just Roman history repeating itself. No matter how much you raise your voices, nothing will happen.

It could be a honeypot for all we know. To get more personal information. Or to get access to browsers outside the USA.

i dunno. It's just a suffix for evilzone. Like Canadian, American, Indian.etc. We have Evilite. 
It was just something I made up.
And it does go pretty well as this:

You know what pisses me off?

The fact that people are actually surprised by this.

For fuck's sake: ECHELON, DCSNet, Carnivore, CALEA, FISA, etc. All of that shit has been public knowledge for a long time. The NSA surveys you and intercepts all of your communications, the evidence was rampant and in plain view, but the majority were sheep or denialists.

Then along comes Snowden who reveals the latest in the likely dozens of NSA projects, and suddenly everyone goes: "OH MY GOD WHAT THE FUCK AMERICA HOW COULD YOU?!"

Fucking please. Of course people have to wake up at some point, but to see people genuinely expressing shock and surprise by this in our information age is simply disgusting to me. Not like they can do anything about it.

I agree with you except for the "not like they can do anything abou it" part.
Honestly I believe things can be done about this madness it however would require large scale organisation of indviduals.
Lol obama justified it by saying "we prevented at least 50 incidents" by doing this.
I didnt take him for moron/liar up to this point.

Its basically "we fuck your privacy so you dont have to be scared"
