GCHQ spied on millions of Yahoo video chats, harvested sexual images of chatters, compared itself to "Tom Cruise in Minority Report"

Well, once OPTIC NERVE gets linked up with the SCORPION STATE network, we’ll finally be ready for CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN, right? I mean, why else are they doing this?

I’m sure it’s already been up here, but I just walked by this sign, and it seemed apropos, especially the “No Loading Anytime” warning:

They do: Top-Secret Document Reveals NSA Spied On Porn Habits As Part Of Plan To Discredit ‘Radicalizers’

I also heard Florian Henckel von Donnersmarck will make another surveillance-themed movie, titled “The Swipes of Others”

What the hell is going on?

It used to be that any time you started using one of Yahoo!'s web apps, they’d promptly announce plans to discontinue the service and delete all your data by the end of the month.

But now Yahoo! apps are sticking around long enough to be harvested by GCHQ/the NSA?

This is not the Yahoo! I once knew.

As long your son strives to be mediocre in both business and civic life, he’s got nothing to worry about. Just tell him to stay in line, don’t even mildly threaten the status quo and smile for the camera. Just make sure the smile is mediocre; don’t want the pre-crime units to wonder what he’s so self-satisfied about.

The NSA is where Bible college graduates get paid to create a proprietary version of Chatroulette.

Ah yes, doubleplus good – freedom is slavery.

Yeah, there’s nothing at all to be worried about regarding the Xbox Kinect, with its eternally monitoring HAL 9000 eye watching you in a variety of different spectral modes, is there? It’s just a simple gaming device!

The cure for an always-on camera, or a not-always-sure-when-it’s-on camera, is a bandaid over the lens. The cloth protects the lens, and all the layers provide opaqueness. Won’t help you much with a Kinect, of course, but you can always stick a hat over it when you’re not playing games.

Not buying it works even better. Cheaper too.

Assuming this was done under the catchall of “preventing terrorism”, I can just about see how terrorists might use a webcam to discuss their plans, but seriously, Xbox Kinect? Chatting about blowing shit up whilst playing Kinectimals?
