NSA ’just days from taking over the internet’ warns Edward Snowden
As if the NSA ever needed legal permission to do whatever the hell they wanted anyway.
Why isn’t he posting on fediverse?
Who says he isn’t with a personal/private account and uses the public persona twitter one for the reach. As shitty as twitter is its still the gravitational center for bursting news.
He likely doesn’t want to get too involved with social media. Stuff easily consumes you. Twitter is just good to reach out to people, which is kinda bad that Twitter got that big.
Because he wants people to see what he has to say.
There’s not a lot of people on here.
Because it isn’t secure at all?
why does security matter?
Can’t he post over I2P/Freenet?
They already have, and they can do it in secret and hold people without trial. Once you give someone power, it’s hard to take it away.
Who tabled this bill, and who is supporting it?
Don’t worry this will never work.
Yeah, just like hoping the Patriot Act would go away worked out well for us.
Internet is different, it is impossible to control. Sure they can make it harder but to 100% control - good luck.
