Big Brother is Watching You II


A Must Read:


Texas Kaos :: Update: Big Brother is Watching You II:

Key findings in PBS's report:

- The government is intercepting most emails sent domestically.

- AT&T is collecting most emails and sharing them with the government, specifically the NSA (this is backed up by Klein's documents).

- The NSA spy room at AT&T's San Francisco facility is only accessible to the NSA and AT&T employees cleared by the NSA

- The NSA's interest seems to be in MAE WEST, *the* major hub of American and international internet traffic on the West Coast

- The device installed in San Francisco is capable of intercepting 10 GIGBYTES of data per second. In layman's terms, that means it could go through all the information in all the books in the Library of Congress in 15 minutes.
