My little piece of naivete for the day: Why is it okay for the NSA to subvert the technologies of some of the largest companies in the world when the 14 year old kid who figures out how to bypass school tech infrastructure to post on instagram is expelled (or has her computer confiscated, or is publicly shamed, etc)?
Yes, yes, it’s the government and they’re allowed to do that and so on and so forth. The NSA’s peekaboo shenanigans are seriously undermining civil rights as well as business investment in America, with the corollary that businesses will likely rethink their computer security infrastructure and will also rethink their willingness to work with government officials in turning over requested data.
All this was already hinted at, but really, NSA? WTF?
