Untangling the Web: the NSA's supremely weird, florid guide to the Internet
http://boingboing.net/2016/05/28/untangling-the-web-the-nsas.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+boingboing%2FiBag+%28Boing+Boing%29 Michael from Muckrock found a reference to "Untangling the Web," an internal NSA guide to the Internet, on Google Books, so he requisitioned a copy from the NSA under the Freedom of Information Act. The guide came back in full, with the only redactions being the authors' names. It is supremely weird. The book, which runs to 650 pages (!), features a series of florid, overwrought comparisons to classical mythology, Freud, and Borges, which Muckrock's Jpat Brown has pulled and screenshotted for your delectation. - - - I've put an easily downloadable copy of all 651 pages at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ChIs5MCjb5hWJ2aFYC9k0Q_GdLNH-w8SLSqiSL3Kw9dXgcWf5aNYC3mPpX82xdJPt9YlBDpBwxklDdny/view?usp=sharing --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com I have consulted to Google, but I am not currently doing so -- my opinions expressed here are mine alone. _______________________________________________ nnsquad mailing list http://lists.nnsquad.org/mailman/listinfo/nnsquad
