In Defense of the NSA

[BenSkywalker]

Activity isn't the same as clothing, pal.

Both are issues of privacy. Ok, I'll put it a different way- you think they should remove all partition walls and doors on bathrooms? Hey, someone could be using that stall to commit a crime after all. Me? No thanks.

They are competent

Largest intelligence leak in history and it came about from an outside contractor. That is a new level of idiocy.

Incidentally, the CIA couldn't kill Fidel Castro in decades of trying, and didn't see Benghazi coming, so I wouldn't use them as an example of competence.

I don't see a ton of information about our governments inner workings pouring out of Langley, do you? I also did not critique the NSA failing to see various terrorist attempts from happening either. What I do bash them for is randomly letting all this information get on the internet through a fucking outside contractor.

You think meth damages the human body? Krokodil massively disintegrates your flesh. Go look up photos of people who use it, I don't want to.

I care about the human race more than you it appears. Let the morons dumb enough to use it kill themselves off. Your way allows them to reproduce.

Pal, DNS blacklisting is happening right now, without having anything to do with the NSA.

DNS blacklisting Tor........ You don't know how this shit works, do you? Let's say DNS is a giant phonebook, Tor doesn't have any phone numbers listed. Actually, Tor can't natively support DNS- wrong networking protocols altogether(but still protected by net neutrality).

Wrong criminal orgs, son. You can blame the less ruthless War on Drugs for that.

When the mafia was still around, typical citizens were safer than they are today, by a lot.

You are honestly suggesting that people who give fair treatment to data are supporting child porn, rather than privacy advocates giving enabling tools to everyone including child porn lovers? Net neutrality doesn't enable anything.

Fair treatment to data. Online child porn is data. Fair treatment to data. Online child porn is data.

Net neutrality makes it against the law to block all Tor traffic. It's a thing. We could do it now, but it appears that you actually care about data being treated equally, so you aren't willing to give that up. Other people care about privacy, they aren't willing to give that up.

So, when someone else becomes president, should you be executed for supporting child porn because you want all data to be treated 'fairly'. Online child porn is data- are you going on record saying it should be treated equally to the poison control center?

You may think I'm against Net Neutrality, I'm not per se, but it sure as fuck isn't as cut and dry as a lot of knee jerk reactionists try and make it out.
