With that much data, something is sure to come up not matter what.
Plus think of anything you've ever said or done being taken out of context, than multiply that by 1000.
This is scary stuff if you ask me. |

Yup...I am surprised at how little we know and how to remove (although some features, I do need like GPS data for photos so I know where I took that shot...etc...). But if you want it gone, I've used this and EXIF removal tools... » digitalconfidence.com/do ··· ads.html |

America!Fuck Yeah!!!
I can't help but laugh! More and more people are undoubtedly learning of this for the first time everyday, but will they continue on supporting the status quo? |

Lost our way  If we the citizenry can't make this kind of activity stop, we have truly lost our identity as a nation. These programs prove to the rest of the world that the U. S. has become a second-rate country. If this is the only response we can conceive of to "protect" ourselves, our enemies have indeed won. |

Re: ScaryAgreed.
And what is even more scary is when it gets in to the wrong hands - just wait until the NSA gets hacked. |
|

or when that data starts getting sold to companies. I'm thinking The MPAA and RIAA would love to get their hands on some of that data.
and again, that's just the tip of the iceberg |

No real consumer privacy protections.
Any attempt to enact real consumer privacy protections is slapped down as "excessive regulation."
A government that thinks surveillance and privacy laws are funny.
A massive uptick in the collection and storage of absolutely every possible type of data a user leaves each day.
What could go wrong? |

AmazedOn one hand, I'm amazed at the scale of the operation and what you could do with it. On the other its disturbing that this information is so easily available to numerous gov't employees and agencies that are likely in the pocket of corporations. Corruption at its finest. |

Nothing to worry about.Just ignore this nothing big. |

This is scary stuff if you ask me. Over the years everyone and I mean EVERYONE has had a private telephone or email conversation that you do not want to go public. Doing so whether now or years down the road could hurt family members, friends, co-workers, grand kids, customers, patients, you name it. There is no way to keep this data completely secure. It will always be prone to hackers, unscrupulous employees and government officials. With so many people having access to this data, it WILL and quite possibly YOUR data will end up on a public internet server some day. If for some reason not from the methods I described, years down the road through the "Freedom of Information Act" after you are dead. This is the message that needs to get out to people. Especially to the "if your not doing anything wrong you have nothing to worry about" crowd. People need to contact their representatives in Congress to support stopping the data capture and require that the data be immediately destroyed to prevent this from happening. It maybe too late already. |

Re: Lost our wayYes indeed the enemies won a long time ago. TSA checks at airports, online snooping. Trillions wasted on unnecessary wars when the infrastructure of the country is crumbling. Time to face reality folks America is no longer the super power it claims to be.
With all the schmucks in Washington squabbling all the time, it's time to take a good hard look in the mirror. But 99% of Americans just don't care so nothing will ever change.
Being from England and living here for the past 33 years, I realized quite some time ago the shine had worn off America. I'm leaving for Europe in a month. Sure things aren't 100% over there, but guess what, at least I won't have the constant droning of the talking heads on the TV news saying how the economy improved 0.03%. Really? Like that makes a difference?
I'm getting back to a quiet life and leaving this rat race behind. So please everyone enjoy your so called freedom and the snooping that goes along with it. |

But...But but they're the gummint and they're here to "help".
Of course the question is "help" whom with what? If you believe them it's all to
• Protect you from terrorists.
• Protect the children.
Now if you believe that I have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale. Also some beachfront property in Arizona. |

Let's get to...the part where all these NSA whistle blowers talked about the government being able to listen to the microphones on our wireless phones anytime they want. For the love of God will someone ask the NSA or a congressman about that? This could be the straw that breaks the general public's back. |

When are they...going to lock that Snowden rat up? He signed nondisclosure agreements and then disclosed classified info. If he can't do the time he should not do the crime. If he can't take his punishment like a man, then he should have never released any info. What an ass. |

Maybe the question should be When are they going to lock up these fascist pigs who trod all over the Constitutional Rights of EVERY CITIZEN???? Snowden gets a ticker-tape parade. |

Re: Yup...You don't have access to this data they are collecting. You can not remove it. The only limiting factor is how much storage they have.
They pull it directly off of fiber lines going into and out of internet backbone providers. They have everything. |

Can Google Do This Too?Google has been collecting crap on us far longer than the NSA. Perhaps it's somewhat more "anonymous" than the NSA's data but I'd bet we'd be surprised at what Google can determine about us just based on our on-line activity. |

Re: When are they...Amazing how some people still feel the government is right in this, now we see why they wanted him for treason at first, he apparently has a lot more info to give.
I have a feeling that these events may be looked at in history as the start of something special. It might be a revolution and I hope it's non violent, but there is to be a revolution. |
