Topic: PRISM - The Indian Perspective on American NSA's new policy (Read 7484 times)

OBAMA reinstated it.

You mean George Bush, right? Because PRIZM was started by George Bush, not Obama.

Outraged by the OBAMA administration's PRISM ? YES I AM !

Dam i am already in that Aadhar  system.  i just  did not  want to  get  that  thing  made.  but had to in the  end :-(

You can subscribe your business to a service on the PAN website which allows you to verify PAN card numbers and other customer data. I got a firsthand look at the system at a ShareKhan franchise that I was consulting for. They leave systems open and unlocked all the time and some have easy entry access from the road to their systems.

And now they are getting biometric data as well for Aadhar.

Funny  in the open market  you can  buy  any type of  data you need on people here in india,  in fact   good  data  provides  can  give  you   names,  DOB, pan  card numbers  address, financial  details, insurance  details,  incom tax  records, and  purchase  history.  nothing  new   with  what  businesses do . in facet this is a  good  lie of  business with high  profit  margins. 

if you want out, study economics and find a way to change yourself and your environment so that it is not economical to fight you.

I do not care if they read my FB, Twitter, E-mail, etc... It will not stop me from posting what I want.

I like paying taxes and what the government is doing. Look at how well they are developing the roads and the city.

You can get anything you want in India.

Doesnt matter if it produces any intel or not, they are STILL seeing and hearing everything we do .. how is this NOT a big encroachment into privacy ? WHY is it being accepted ?

I cant say much about the rest of discussion but VPN will give you no protection.  About 10 years ago VPN was decrypted from 10 days old dumps now it is on the fly decryption in real time.

As of society I like India, it is in perfect mess, corruption and anarchy. strong communities and weak government. quite cool.

I dont think Indian PRISM will produce any valuable INTEL in 20 years, who cares. Such projects created not for been useful for security needs, but been useful for stealing budget money. As such it is totally useless waste.

till now  vpn is a  solution  only if the  vendors  are  trusted.

If I would argue that we live in a completely free society I wouldnt be so concerned about PRISM. I'd happily live in denial and talk about alien conspiracies.

So you are trying to say is that a completely free society is economically 'UNSTABLE' ?? Like since when did that happen ?

unless there are immutable economic principles that support a completely free society you arent going to get one. of course, you could argue that we live in a completely free society now and people are completely free to act to limit your freedoms.

i think every1 is outraged

We the original citizens of the new world will drive them away.. and I m not talking about a new 'country' per se .... I m talking about absolute freedom..

what would stop people from doing the same thing on your island or space country?

Cant we all just build a new land on water ? or make our own Bioshock City ? after all 70% of earh is water :/ or just go and settle a new country in space somewhere ? i m serious with this question ..

For me personally I avoid surveillance with TOR and some products of 'Net Tools' I would definitely look into this silent circle.

Kinda keen to do an article on all of this and ways to work around surveillance.

Any inputs would be awesome, else I will just pen my own thoughts.

is silent circle open source yet?

I prefer red phone, text secure, orbot, gibberbot, true crypt,

This is just bullshit. Is there no way to 'avoid' this ?

PRISM is a top secret electronic surveillance program that has been run by the United States National Security Agency (NSA) since 2007.[1][2] "In confirming its existence, officials said that the program, called Prism, is authorized under a foreign intelligence law that was recently renewed by Congress."[2] Reports based on leaked documents describe the PRISM program as enabling in-depth surveillance on live communications and stored information.[3] It provides for the targeting of any customers of participating corporations who live outside the United States, or American citizens whose communications include people outside the USA.[3] Data that the NSA is able to obtain under PRISM allegedly includes email, video and voice chat, videos, photos, voice over IP conversations, file transfers, login notifications and social networking details.[3]

The Washington Post noted that the leaked document indicated that the PRISM SIGAD is "the number one source of raw intelligence used for NSA analytic reports."[4] The President's Daily Brief, an intelligence product, cited PRISM data as a source in 1,477 items last year.[5]

The leaked information came to light a day after the revelation that the U.S. government had secretly been requiring the telecommunications company Verizon to turn over to the NSA logs tracking all of its customers' telephone calls on an ongoing daily basis.
