Not sure what that has to do with the NSA accessing all my data? usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jul 2013 #6

Since you clearly didn't pause to ponder as I suggested , please see post #8 for a full explanation pkdu Jul 2013 #13

Could information be used illegally or abusively? Of course. randome Jul 2013 #4

Sorry, but you seem to be contradicting yourself with your snark (VIDEO) usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jul 2013 #9

Cite the evidence, then. Because nothing I've seen supports illegality or abuse. randome Jul 2013 #10

It's all over the www... but start with The Gaurdian (LINK) usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jul 2013 #14

I posted a convenient link to the docs. usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jul 2013 #23

Always a pleasure! randome Jul 2013 #29

likewise usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jul 2013 #40

I was under the assumption they were talking about tcp/ip headers PowerToThePeople Jul 2013 #5

That is just one aspect of digital comms (network) but even that meta data is ATTACHED to the packet usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jul 2013 #7

here is something PowerToThePeople Jul 2013 #12

www.sex.com may turn some off to the video but it does show how the metadata is attached to the cont usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jul 2013 #15

I found another on youtube without said text hopefully PowerToThePeople Jul 2013 #17

They've separated metadata forever, in their reporting systems jmowreader Jul 2013 #24

That isn't the question. The question is what is the process to separate metadata from the content usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jul 2013 #27

Well in my work with cloud storage shawn703 Jul 2013 #33

Yep, no doubt it can be done, but how is it done usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jul 2013 #34

Just got a LOT of documentary evidence here (LINK) usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jul 2013 #35

And they are talking about how they use metadata to find the content they want to spy on usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jul 2013 #37

That software is used to monitor foreign suspects, not citizens. randome Jul 2013 #38

Not according to first-hand accounts, and now even more documented evidence. (LINK) usGovOwesUs3Trillion Jul 2013 #39
