Top-Secret Document Reveals NSA Spied On Porn Habits To Discredit 'Radicalizers'

[Kevin_Kennedy]

The National Security Agency has been gathering records of online sexual activity and evidence of visits to pornographic websites as part of a proposed plan to harm the reputations of those whom the agency believes are radicalizing others through incendiary speeches, according to a top-secret NSA document. The document, provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden, identifies six targets, all Muslims, as “exemplars” of how “personal vulnerabilities” can be learned through electronic surveillance, and then exploited to undermine a target's credibility, reputation and authority.

The NSA document, dated Oct. 3, 2012, repeatedly refers to the power of charges of hypocrisy to undermine such a messenger. “A previous SIGINT" -- or signals intelligence, the interception of communications -- "assessment report on radicalization indicated that radicalizers appear to be particularly vulnerable in the area of authority when their private and public behaviors are not consistent,” the document argues.

So much for only being about catching "terrorists." J. Edgar would be proud.

Yeah...the NSA was looking at porn because they wanted to "harm the reputations of Muslims."

Agencies' requirements expand to fill capability. If they have the capability to do this, they will. Anyone think the Obama Administration is above using such info for political gain? Anyone?

But... but... I use "In-private browsing"!

All the more reason not to participate in pornography. It frees you from this type of crap.

I love porn... I have no issue standing on stage saying I do next to the A sexual hater that wants to make me look bad.... Why don't I care? Oh, because 90 something % of all adults have watched and liked porn.

Pretending to be part of the very small minority that does not partake in porn for some fake moral higher ground would only stand to make an individual look ignorant of the people they claim to understand, be one of and want to lead.

There is nothing wrong with porn, however there is something wrong with Obama and democrats going into people's sex lives in hopes of embarrassing them to stay out of politics.

Gee, I guess its the Democrats, not the Republicans, who want to stand in Americans' bedrooms. Another lie debunked.

And yet there's plenty of other stuff on the internet that the NSA could use in an attempt to discredit people, and since the narrative that they're only targeting terrorists is obviously a lie we have no idea on what basis they're targeting people. And the simple fact is that we all have something to hide, whether we can pinpoint it exactly or not.

Do you know if any Republicans have made statements regarding this story? I'm genuinely curious, it's still fairly new so I wouldn't be surprised if they haven't.
