"German language magazine 'Bild am Sonntag' reports that, in response to Obama's recent order to stop spying on Angela Merkel and other heads of 'friendly' states, the NSA has instead ramped up spying on everybody Merkel communicates with. Cory Doctorow points out that this action demonstrates that the NSA is out of control and deliberately disobeying a presidential order with a level of duplicity worthy of a four year-old."

    Posting anon because I am genuinely frightened of the US gov. Yay chilling effect!

    You honestly think that makes a difference? Unless you've used TOR, you've sent your IP address in the clear to soylentnews.org with every single packet. Even if you accessed SN over HTTPS, just the number of packets will probably reveal that you were posting that comment. I'd be very surprised if the NSA couldn't figure out who you are if they want.
