RE: NSA snooping. 'Told ya so'.. [View all]

..and I'm not alone. The problem is twofold.

One: THEM. The Big (Brother) Problem, is the snooping. We opt into being snooped on by corporations we love to hate like Facebook and Google. I don't remember checking a box for this. Do you?

Two: US. The I Told You So Problem, is the general ignorance of the technology that we use every day.. for which there is *no excuse*. It's not that hard to put your support behind Open Source movement. Start with Linux, you computer illiterate dope. When people who know more tell you to use TOR, go and fucking learn how to install the goddamn TOR Browser. The Onion Network is nothing without more nodes. It gets faster with every new user. Use it and watch Facebook freak out.

Learn something. Learn how to protect yourself. It's your responsibility to learn how to fucking 'whisper' electronically.

I know how. I'm not alone. Here's the tip of the Iceburg. Eat the pill, Nero. Protect yourself.
