Here's where I have to disagree with That One Guy because there are so, so many levels to your fucktardianess that sinking to any of them would be a rather challenging objective.
No competent system administrator could ever possibly need other access credentials apart from what they already have and in the off chance that they do need more it's definitely not for Mr. Desk Jockey's creds.
The truth? Are you fucking present? Hello?? Do you think that there are only 25 useless idiots in the pool of 300 thousand or so? (clearly you're not lonely)
The NSA, which is charged with protecting the country and the means, methods and communications therein, was socially engineered resulting in a significant breach to security which also resulted in the dissemination of highly questionable activities to the public. Anyone reading "your books" is wasting their fucking time. Mr. Snowden did you and *billions* of other people a pretty hefty fucking favor. This guy was hacking in the interests of people and his country with the "buck stops here" integrity the U.S. Constitution demands. The security and law enforcement apparatus of the English speaking world is rogue. And being that Mr. Snowden was working in the public interest how hard do you think it is to hack the NSA for private gain?
There there now, soon you'll be all grown up and going to school and you won't need your daddy anymore then will you, darling?
Yeah dude. But who has all the google data now? Yeah. The same folks that would kill a man and bomb a city. The only boom-boom google gives is pictures ( and a lot of application technology that a lot of people seem to enjoy .. sophisticated boom-boom).
Data retention. That was a portion of the point I think. How long is too long? And if never enough is insufficient then that leads me to believe that the logical conclusion is that only enough data for the system to continue need be retained. The question then becomes "What is the system?". The more data that authority has to farm then the more they will. It seems they could care less who has it as long as they get it. Boy, authority likes metatdata too don't they? Hm.. Bad enough to bomb cities? .. Damn it, since the files are in the control of authority I guess that leaves room for lots of things. Just focus, OK? Who is the more likely to be viewed as an enemy of the state? You or Google? Take your time.
Hm. Yes, there clearly remains a prevailing school of thought that national security is above the law, any law, save perhaps physics but they're working on those too.
The only mechanism I can immediately think of that could possibly reduce the influence of this school is digital communications, communications that enable people to communicate and interact with each other allowing them to better understand their world. It would seem that only then can the machines of war and control, and their all too human repercussions, be removed from the priority lists.
Yet, as we all observe the dwindling security of nature and all of its resources that surround us my worry is that the Internet came too late and if it is not too late it is definitely on a dangerous path to becoming the next and greatest security tool.
Authority and Terrorism go together hand-in-hand. How could they not? For the rule of law to prevail in securing a human destiny, if any, then authority and terrorism must be separated and only then can a person be free. When authority can make or interpret its own laws and arm itself accordingly there will be terror, of one and of many.
Close like a hand grenade but it still wont count. (Ironic.) All tools lead to Rome. (Punny.) Meow. (Kitty.)
Did you not recognise that our digital lives seem to be copyrighted by everyone save those that live them and that one's only recourse is through encryption and that even then all of the information that exists about you, for you and in spite of you that is not encrypted is completely beyond your legal reach much less your control?
Nah man, the first two words of the posting are "Pissed off" and so I thought I'd make a good go of keeping that in mind through the entire read. Then I tripped over Retardo Maximo and threw it a bone.
No, no, fuck you, copyright maximalist prick. Fuck you for supporting an industry of absolute fucking idiocy and grounding the ideal that means of communications can be dictated, monitored and manipulated for profit.
Karma hasn't even kicked in yet. It's still itemising the charges. Mafiaa cunt.
Oh, I can see that this is getting better already. And so soon.
I don't want that aged and tired mind, to even talk anymore much less offer up fucking bills on the very topic she's failed at.
Congress - The Intel Chair - Oversight like a demented energizer rabbit dressed in black skins of other rabbits and a crushed in pumpkin head swinging a razor blade tambourine. Happy Halloween. TRICK! beeyotch.

I'd guess that a large part of the intelligence community doesn't know and/ore do not care what's wrong. And another large part believe that they've been working in the interests of country and their president. It wouldn't be difficult to believe that elected officials can claim whatever they like because they seem to do just that. I also would not find it difficult to believe that the president was never directly informed of the sheer scope and mass of collections. What we all "assume" happens can not be construed as having been directly translated into presidential briefings. Working assumptions are not qualified communications of the thing.
We have machines. Those machines need constant oiling so that they can grind down anything in their path with ease.
We have a law enforcement machine bent on immediate submission and have become over-empowered via a maligned assault on drugs which, as we're all aware, is steadily giving way to an equally maligned assault on terror. Scorched citizenry.
We have a war machine and yet, when is the last time the prosperity of our people has been faced with direct and bloody conflict? The South will Rise again! Amen!
The machines we have empowered to protect us, in limited capacities, have taken on lives of their own. They need to be put down like the rabid dogs that they've become.
Cries of "Spying on foreign leaders is wrong!" are so fucking pathetic that it's truly beyond infuriating when the surveillance assets and collections directed at the public are, somehow, less of an issue.
The leaders of people are fucking up everywhere. The illumination that the Internet provides will either be cut off, magnified or, as we can plainly see, riddled with peep holes for those that will not be challenged.
NSA officials are livid. You know what? Too fucking bad. The very millisecond that SIGINT collections encompassed all of your countrymen is the exact same second that your reasons for existing became null.
DRUGS AND TERROR AND IP: Who are you going to roll over and die for today?
Prevention is a pound of cure. The quest for controlled economies of scale will exist in direct opposition to the quest for humanity. There are no borders, only hoarders. The will of people is a facade when the will of authority rules them all.
What the fuck am I getting on about now? NSA has poopy face? Well join the fucking club, bitches.
I love how "business records" auto-fucking-magically entitles GOVERNMENT to ALL of them. Just because business.
Do you do business? Well, so do I and my business is government therefore all your business is at my disposal. Reasons? Right, like we need reasons. We're authority and our authority is over you, just like we've always wanted. Tada! How you like me now, bitches?
The free world tossed into the drink because a bunch of legal assholes translates your business into their right. A government, with rights above and beyond the rights of the governed, that's fantastic. Fuck you all you bunch of fearful, selfish, power hungry fucks.
Lock the doors and burn it down. God will protect them.
Are you mad? "Our country has the right.." To provide bullshit fucking hand on gun treatment just fucking because you're a citizen trying to get in? Are fucking kidding me right now? Our bullshit authority services are so fucking out of control it's insane. And you're all "We have the right blahdy blah blah because country." Fuck that, most of the people with guns and authority are dicks and can shoot you and then pull from every piece of available information on the planet to make the one they shot look bad.
Fuck that. Fuck info. I want some god damn accountability for this bullshit. And give me little miss intel saying poo on spying on foreign leaders.. you know what fuck those leaders what about your god damned countrymen!? She needs to be fucking fired.
A regime is pretty much any governed society. A society that has a will to enforce and/or protect its borders and people. Regime decisions and direction can rest on one person or many. It is the latter that a democracy aims for which is another reason these revelations are so important to all of us.
Telecom has enabled mass surveillance. They've fed the data on everyone to government black ops and got fucking a get out of jail LAW for it AND we're supposed to be good with that.
Telecom said "Hey Mr. Government Man, we can get you all this shit and there's plenty more where that came from. Mr. Government Man said "Fuck Yeah, we'll take it!".
And Mr. Government Man got addicted. Mr. Government Man has no way out. There is no drug for him more intoxicating than information. The magnetic pin cushion in the haystack.
The government needs some level of secrecy. On that I would agree. For the military and for the purposes of investigations where the latter is considered a temporary secrecy. For the rest there are better classifications than secret.
The people are any people that consider themselves governed. The public.
I'd like to see a two-pronged approach. Clearly, reigning in the current masters of the universe is of the utmost importance yet I'm wondering if we can't do one better while we're busy adjusting humanity to their digitally increased realm of existence. Our digital tracks would not exist if we were not here to provide them. Websites, cookies, Instant messages, phone numbers, envelopes and their contents, financial transactions - these are the tools we each build with - are their results and manifestations not ours? Without me there would be no track, without me their would be nothing to copy, without me as an identifiable target I would have no track to collect and collate. Nobody should have the authority or right to rebuild my steps, actions much less an entire existence without my approval and especially not without my knowledge. There is no right to recreate or surveil my past, present or future without just cause. I own the copyrights to my creations, do I not? Can we not sue the government for these civil infractions? New laws giving ours its just due? It should not be legal to collect random tracks without a warrant and you definitely can't collate that shit without a bigass warrant.
I'm a fan of term limits. And of campaign finance reform and I'm also a fan of a unilateral executive bent at the knee.
.. as we continue down the road of inadequate representation our soldiers have taken on the role of mercenaries and our police are militarily endowed and posse comitatus has been overrun by a digitally armed military authorized by secret law and assisted, in no small part, by Congressional Committees WHOSE MEMBER LEADERSHIP ENABLES THESE ACTIONS IN DIRECT CONTRADICTION TO THEIR STATED DUTIES.
