Edward Snowden identified as source of NSA leaks

It's not ludicrous, it doesn't bother me that the government can have access to information I've stored on google or elsewhere. Is that difficult for you to understand?

You gave up your right to privacy when you gave up the data in the first place, as it is no longer yours (as in possession).

copyright wise this doesn´t make sense

Possession and copyright are independent.

while true, isn´t this exactly what they are doing? copy everything

Also, the government can extract this information without the website's permission. So the data can be labeled as private and the government can take it, that is a seizure of private information of that website without a warrant, it violates the fourth amendment.

Guess the final word is in, and the people who knew Snowden was a traitor from the beginning were right.

I was wondering what was left to leak, looks like this is a pretty big reveal.

Well hopefully he eventually gets locked up for a very long time.

Well hopefully he eventually gets locked up for a very long time.

Odds are he'll just be stuck in Russia... which may be the worse fate.

Or Britain, the government of which is revving up to push a massive new surveillance bill, is making shit up.

Yeah, journalists trying to cover for their source. Awesome points. And the first article points out that the journalists claims have no sources.

Second article is crap too.

Third article is a blog post. Great sources.

[Masark]

Great sources.

As opposed to the "source" of totally anonymous persons issuing proclamations that just happen to match up with the government's interest in pushing increased surveillance.

Maesark already debunked the BS you threw up (and did so both effectively and politely) so I won't bother repeating his work. But I am curious - do you post crap like the above because you're a paid stooge, or because of the adrenaline rush your thought-free brain gets from reflexively supporting the status quo and pretending you're right? Just curious.

Of course foreigners are going to say Snowden is innocent.

Americans already didn't trust Snowden, this is just going to add to their mistrust.

There is no need to have two Snowden threads up on the front page. As this one was started long, long before the other, I'm going to go ahead and close this one. Please refer to the other Snowden thread for all related conversation.

Closed.
