"According to documents newly released by Edward Snowden, …
Please allow me to stop u there.
From day one I have always felt Snowdon was a shill for 3 reasons:
1) He escaped the U.S without death
2) Nobody lost a job cause of his "revelations"
3) The NSA budget increased the folloeing year
In short, anything outta the U.S. is prob BS
This includes DRK (eduffield) who by now should've had a couple meetings with the NSA.
Not much proof to what you are saying there. Where as, there is loads more proof showing that these intelligence agencies have acquired encryption keys and other sensitive data and access to similar things at the highest level of many companies just like these telcos and sim card manufacturers. For years and it will happen for years to come.
It has also been proven for many many years that these agencies have been planting moles in the highest positions in these companies and government programs as a standard procedure.
So regardless of your opinion of snowden i doubt very much some of the info he leaks is completely falsified, do you?
I can see what you mean though. I mean, i have a hunch that there could be a reason for whoever to make already fragile relationships between countries and companies even more unstable by spamming bogus documents or propoganda. However, i have no proof to back any of that up so its just a hunch and not really a relaity.
