It's intolerable that NSA, the Holy See of the cryptographic world, somehow considers it appropriate and justified to create a program which operates based on the abominated principle "security through obscurity". Let's be real, no terrorist worth his salt is reckless enough to not take into account the hypothetical existence of massive and thorough surveillance programs by all kinds of governments, and will not do their uttermost to foil such imagined attempts at eavesdropping. The mere existence of such programs should thus never be considered a national secret(the values of the variables used in the data analysis should be), rather than be transparent and explain to the public why the survelliance program can never be used to collect private data of law-abiding Amercian citizens, like any self-respecting cryptologist would have done, they opt to keep everything in secrecy and put Americans' Fourth Amendment rights in peril.

Apple held out 5 years longer than Microsoft..  but yeah eventually they'll run out of tricks and have to give in.  Then be ordered to lie about it for national security.  Yay.

Yeah fun stuff..   What is this the fifth time we've seen that there is a group watching every single interaction that they can find?  All the companies say No no we're not involved!  As the govt lays it all out..  you might notice that Twitter isn't on the list, looks like they might be one of the last large holdouts.
They won't hold out for long.

by viewing this image, PRISM has marked everyone viewing this thread for termination by drone strike

Sweet.  We could attach cameras to the drones and make a TV show out of it.  We'll name it "The Domestic Terrorist Files", it'll come on prime time right after Fox news and sometime before Dancing With The Stars or American Idol, whichever comes on around this time, and make a killing.  Or be killed.  Whichever comes first.
