Top-Secret Document Reveals NSA Spied On Porn Habits As Part Of Plan To Discredit 'Radicalizers' http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/26/nsa-porn-muslims_n_4346128.html Hey attention: are you a family man? Do you visit "naughtyand16.com" behind your wife's back? Do you happen to complain about Obamacare or high taxes also? You might wanna be more discreet! Your wife or even your daughter may be informed by NSA agents on how much a rouchy, lewd and obscene man you are!
Do you know what personality profiling entails? Big fan of Hoover were you? I have a thread on this as well. http://www.politicalforum.com/showthread.php?t=333602
I do. I'm not saying I am on side with the NSA spying, I just think that it's hilarious that porn viewing habits are somehow relevant in a time when I'd say anyone with an internet connection has looked at it.
Well... first of all... there is little MORE private. That is why you may or may not watch it with your significant other, but unlikely with your buddy. Preferences, esp given the variety out there, could be used in psychological profiling could make you a target to an algorythm. It can be used to shame religious leaders... political figures... depending on what SORT of porn it is. Wives and children and family being told Senator so-n-so likes gay porn... or general whats his name likes brutal pron of girls in uniform... You know... nevermind. You are against spying... I am not going to dig into what I find to be a remarkably naive... borderline ignorant position... because you aren't seemingly clear on why you should be against it. Seems to be making the perfect the enemy of the good.
Blackmail from the NSA??? Of course!!! One would think they would try to target terrorists, but NO they want to target Americans looking at porn while they look at porn to target us....Good God!!!
Are you equating complaining about Obamacare with "radicalizing others through incendiary speeches?" Seems a bit extreme, even for those who blame the President for everything simply because they've decided to hate him. - - - Updated - - - If you can see it on National Geographic, you don't have to call it porn.
I am against spying, sorry if I found it more hilarious then you do serious. I should take it more seriously, especially for the reasons you state. Its just such an odd thing on its face.
Public officials were living in a fish bowl long before the internet came about. It's not that hard to keep private things private and to keep unscrupulous behavior under control... and if they can't, then they should be outed and kicked to the curb. - - - Updated - - - Apparently some of you do.
No, you should maintain your sense of humor and serenity while the alarmists run around crying that the sky is falling about every little thing. That's the only way you'll be able to take notice when there really is something worth getting upset about.
So what? The whole idea of "sexual deviation" has become so muddled that at this point, our military grants survivor benefits to same sex spouses of deceased service members. Let them try to shame me in any way they want! The whole thing has gone so far down the tubes that it's probably just fine for me to keep goats and sheep in my home as a deterrent to doing "something ba-a-a-ad".
A person of reasonable intelligence would know that you can't keep anything digital private from the NSA over the internet.
especially since you looking at porn is a such a threat to national security that you should be spied on without warrant.
