POLICE STATE: AT&T Helped U.S. Spy On Internet On A 'Vast Scale'...

[paulitician]

I know most Americans are too busy being obsessed with their porn, sports, reality tv, and Donald Trump, but...


The National Security Agency’s ability to spy on vast quantities of Internet traffic passing through the United States has relied on its extraordinary, decades-long partnership with a single company: the telecom giant AT&T.

While it has been long known that American telecommunications companies worked closely with the spy agency, newly disclosed N.S.A. documents show that the relationship with AT&T has been considered unique and especially productive. One document described it as “highly collaborative,” while another lauded the company’s “extreme willingness to help.”

AT&T’s cooperation has involved a broad range of classified activities, according to the documents, which date from 2003 to 2013. AT&T has given the N.S.A. access, through several methods covered under different legal rules, to billions of emails as they have flowed across its domestic networks. It provided technical assistance in carrying out a secret court order permitting the wiretapping of all Internet communications at the United Nations headquarters, a customer of AT&T...

NSA, the Secret AT&T Spy Room, 2 Israeli Companies, and Loss of American Privacy


In James Bamford’s 2008 interview, he mentions two Israeli companies, Narus and Verint, that almost nobody knew about. They played a key role in developing and selling the technology that allowed NSA to deploy its PRISM spying program:

Very sad and disturbing. But it doesn't look like many Americans care. If you put up another post about Trump, Clinton, or ISIS, they'll flock to em in droves. Sadly, they only care about what they've been directed to care about.

And as you pointed out earlier, most are drugged-out zombies at this point. I think many others just feel powerless and have given up. And that's understandable. I mean, what can anyone really do?

"POLICE STATE: AT&T Helped U.S. Spy On Internet On A 'Vast Scale'..."

You truly are an ignorant, ridiculous rightwing loon – the United States is not a 'police state,' clearly you have no idea what a 'police state' actually is.

Whether you approve of them or not, the surveillance programs are in fact both legal and Constitutional, where no 4th or 5th Amendment 'violations' are taking place.

Indeed, your own linked article notes a case where a 4th Amendment 'violation' claim was dismissed by a Federal judge; of course, your tinfoil hat response to that ruling would be the judiciary are part of the 'police state conspiracy' as well.

The surveillance programs do not constitute 'spying,' the data gathered lack enough information to justify obtaining a warrant for further investigation, nor is the information used pursuant to criminal prosecution, hence no 4th or 5th Amendment 'violations.'

And absent such 'violations,' there is no 'police state.'

The true story is the ignorance of the law and Constitution common to you and most others on the right, where your unwarranted fears of a 'police state' and 'spying' are the consequence of that ignorance.
