Edward Snowden, the NSA, whistleblowers, spying, privacy issues and other stuff

Prox:
   I'm pretty sure by now everyone is aware of the situation that's been going on right now, so what are your thoughts on this and how do feel about it? I'm also curious what do American friends of this community think about this. Discuss.

Alkaline:
If Russia is aiding Snowden, doesn't that increase tensions in the Middle East since Russia aids Syria and the US aids Israel?

blαh2355:
You know, I'm actually indifferent of whether or not the government is spying into my privacy. Invasion of it sure, but if they don't care what I do then I don't care either. Though I do give limited support to people who are against it.

My only concern is if their spying is worthwhile as in money and effectiveness.

Tezuni:
As it is now, they have already been collecting and "storing" our information. (emails, phone calls, etc)

They used to need warrants for this type of stuff, and rightfully so.

I don't like it.

Xrain:
There are many official channels available for snowden to have addressed the NSA overreaching issue. He however, choose to use none of them. At the same time instead of exposing the issue and then stepping aside he chose to make it about himself saying such things as "OMG I HAS MOAR INFORMAITONZ JUST UUU WAIT!!!"

While he might have justified it to himself that he is a hero for releasing classified information on an overzealous program, it seems more to me that he is just doing it in a large part just for the attention it brings him.


The real issue that prism had isn't so much that it is amassing large amounts of data, that before they at least had one check on the system to prevent spying on US systems. But for prism they reduced that to just if the operator manning the station has "reasonable doubt" that the person is outside the US.
