I think I need to understand why Q said Edward Snowden is a traitor. I don't feel betrayed by Edward Snowden. I feel very betrayed by the people Ed told us about.
In general terms, the reason why we have rules against mass surveillance, like the 4th amendment of the US constitution, and article 12 of the UN's bigass human rights thing, is because mass surveillance almost always leads to genocide.
To my knowledge, Facebook and Google do not operate flying murder robots, nor do they maintain a global network of secret prisons. The government is the danger because it does, and the NSA etc are part of said government.
I think a better argument would be, "they can frame anyone." Or better yet, "they can dispose of anyone." Or better still, "they can probably dispose of millions of anyones without anyone else noticing."
None, but certain past regimes certainly aspired toward the lofty heights we've already reached. The NKVD, the Gestapo, the STASI…
Good company we're keeping, eh?
No, fren, painfully I perceive the point. The point of this place, the point you may not yet perceive. It's to sell us on the NSA again, after the damage they sustained after Edmund Snowglobe. To make us fucking love mass surveillance. Rebellion against the deep state my dick. This place wants us to love NSA and hate Snowden. If you don't see, you're probably under orders not to see.
Shit, if you think that's all FB does, you haven't seen ISIS' little network. Or some others related to certain very black operations.
There's a game here?
Gamification, gotta watch out for it. One moment you're earning points, the next you're overthrowing nations.
It certainly isn't pretty for Snowden. There are multiple extremely well funded intelligence agencies running propaganda campaigns to destroy him.
Oh, but this new method is very special. It allows certain powers to take full stock of every living human, and select them, filter them. The genocides of the future will make the slaughters of the past look like papercuts.
GCHQ has it out for him about as hard as US agencies. Very JTRIGgered.
>Yes they most certainly do have such tech and their ilk, not the NSA, has made threats of using it on people who look into them or aggravate them in the past.
Interesting, I seem to remember some screen captures of the Brock gang boasting about gaining access to NSA tech during the 2016 election hubbub. Not gonna go digging for it right now, on account of the booze.
Well obviously, it'll cost a few more of their big guys their jobs. If I was Mayor of Earth, I'd shatter GCHQ and sprinkle its thousand fragments from the Cliffs of Dover.
I am paying a degree of attention completely incomprehensible to you. Take it from me: the CIA and NSA are not at war, nor would they ever act against each other. They'd certainly pretend to, though, if they thought it was funny or productive somehow.
The primary advantage is being able to dump bodies where the local seafood will de-forensic-ize it.
Huh?
I'm not thinking anymore. Now is me time.
Wait, I get it. You're testing if I'm a response bot. A sensible precaution in these sxryzzbyt times.
>I'm still on the fence about this, Anon
I'm not. I feel pretty clear about Eduardo Snowcone. His actions proved his intent. The actions of those who popped up to counter him were also pretty informative. I can see them all.
Hmm… this one isn't very compelling.
The entirety of this seems ridiculous.
