Glenn Greenwalds: Σχετικά με τις Παρακολουθήσεις της NSA

[jammamon]

Δεν ξέρω αν έχει ανέβει, αλλά έχει μεγάλο ενδιαφέρον και ρίχνει φως στις παρακολουθήσεις των τηλεπικοινωνιών από την πλευρά της αμερικανικής NSA:

Ενδεικτικό απόσπασμα:

Two days ago, we published a document by one small part of the National Security Agency called the Secret Source Operations, one of the most secretive units of the NSA. And there was an internal document in this SSO unit dated December 12, 2012, so the end of last year. What this document did was it was celebrating a milestone the way other people celebrate their birthdays. What said it was congratulations to us, this unit of the SSO. We have just collected our one trillionth piece of email, internet metadata. That’s one trillion with a “t.”

What that means is every single day they are collecting hundreds of millions of our email records and the email records around the world to find out who is emailing us, to whom we are sending emails, what our IP address is when we’re sending and opening the emails when we read them, which means what our physical location is, and then being able to piece together what our network is—who our associations are, what our life patterns are, what it is that we do on the internet, what our interests are, what animates us—a whole variety of information that they are sucking up and vacuuming, not about individuals who they think are guilty of terrorism but about human beings indiscriminately.

Another document that I probably shouldn’t share since it’s not published but I am going to share it with you anyway—and this one’s coming soon but you’re getting a little preview—It talks about how a brand new technology enables the National Security Agency to redirect into its repositories one billion cell phone calls every single day, one billion cell phone calls every single day.
