NSA Commandeering the Internet

While almost certainly information that has come into the public eye due to Snowden's actions, this is an article that looks at just what the NSA has been doing to get access to everyone's internet.



More on the NSA Commandeering the Internet by Bruce Schneier


Quote:








If there's any confirmation that the U.S. government has commandeered the Internet for worldwide surveillance, it is what happened with Lavabit earlier this month.



Lavabit is -- well, was -- an e-mail service that offered more privacy than the typical large-Internet-corporation services that most of us use. It was a small company, owned and operated by Ladar Levison, and it was popular among the tech-savvy. NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden among its half-million users.

As more and more is revealed about just what the NSA has been doing, it is pretty clear to me that they crossed the moral line on what is acceptable long ago, regardless of what the legal situation ultimately ends up being.
