Send data to NSA

Just have them send the data they collect to the NSA just like the phone companies do. They do it legally why can't NebuAD

NebuAD and Phorm will fit right in at the Phone Co. & ISPs

Although, they will probably have to get in line behind the NSA.

How do we know

How do we know that they are not implementing this now and just not telling people about it? Not just the ISPs listed above but other such as Verizon or Charter etc.? As and end user I have no way (that I know of) for me to know if my packets are getting read like that.

No surprise

Congress is concerned at the moment with appearing to be interested in voters due to upcoming elections. In reality, if NebuAd and their supporters pay enough, they will be allowd to go ahead. Congress is interested in business and money.

Technically dumb hypocrites as well. I bet 99% think that an internet packet is something like the envelope they get their bribe in.

NSA most likely has a sniffer on most ISP's at the major nodes, and can pick off whatever traffic they want.

Where have you been? Charter is not using it. There are 50 stories about it here.

I don't know why they are giving NebuAd so much shit when there are tons of other services, and our government doing the same thing.

NebuAd should grill congress if he has any balls to do it.

Congress is only looking at this for their own purpose.

They want the information turned over to them. Nothing will come up this. All this information will be collected...

Then Bush and the boys will come knocking on your door. Then immunity will be given.

Spamvertising scumware

Yah, NebuAD wants to know everything about us but what do you want to bet that CEO Bob Dykes hides behind a private phone number. Sure, NebuAD has corporate contact info listed but I'd bet he has a staff of people screening his calls.

In my opinion, NebuAD is just another scumware variant. These guys make used car salesmen look like boy scouts!

NebuAd Tax

So we can expect congress to Tax the On-line Ad industry to get their cut and let the industry keep it's shady business practices. Nothing gets done in a system that hardly ever works to provide something positive to the end users without the "fine-print".

 Don't visit the wrong websites or NebuAd will report you.

If you visit the wrong websites like ones on Evolution or Birth Control NebuAD will report you to the Church People for Conversion.

Re: He needs to pull a Rove on the Congress

No, it's worse than being overrun by Republicans. They are overrun by Democrats who don't have the spine enough to stand up for their principals. At least with Republicans you could at least claim that this is stuff they really believe in.

(This comment coming from someone who disagrees with most of the Neo-Conservative stuff and who won't be voting for McCain come election day.)

Do you want the Internet to Decline or Flourish

If Internet Users just sit back on this issue & don't complain to everyone in Authority that they can reach, then I'm afraid the WWW in it's present format will be non existent within about 2 years!


Reality Check

@btcentralplus.com

Not NebuAd but a very close relative!

Some of the details of what this sort of technology can do.
Definitely a M.I.T.M attack by the ISP!
