Alot of people like to say "if you have nothing to hide you have nothing to fear", these are the same kinds of people who live in a dream world constructed from their personal biases in wanting to believe the world is all well and that there is no corruption or abuse of power, and the USA government is not corrupt and would not target its own citizens. They are in denial of the truth. The USA government illegally targets its own civilians in many scenarios. Not because those civilians are doing anything wrong, but for simply existing. They are all scooped up in the automated dragnet systems put into place. Though sometimes some civilians are selected for more targeting, either through automation or manually. Not because those civilians are breaking laws, or criminals or any threat to public safety, but because they are sysadmins whom either have access to networks and systems, or because those civilians choose to take safety measures in this dangerous hostile cyber-world, whether that be using linux (NSA xkeyscore targeted civillians whom researched linux among other software), or Tor to name a few. -- tor-talk mailing list - [email protected] To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
