Traitor because he brought to light what the NSA does? We don't deserve our freedom

Think they're the only ones doing it? This isn't some new revelation. Your phones have been tapped for decades and your searches have been monitored since the Internet went public. Everyone is spying on everyone. You don't think the Mossad among other agencies is tracking what we're doing? Please. Get over yourself. Cats read one article on Prison Planet and now they're revolutionaries. Russia isn't letting him stay over there for free.

Everyone knows this, we're just trying to figure out why you called him a traitor. Its clearly not new info but the scale was definitely not expected and the blatant lies about it AND the lies about the reasoning for it are why people are upset.

I read books, **** a prison planet. Its not about being revolutionary, its about being an American and calling our government out on its ******** as we're supposed to.

Get over yourself

Some people would rather sheep to government and give away their right to privacy because they its the right thing to do.

If you don't think he's given any information to China and Russia then I'd love to visit the land of ignorance you reside in. That's why he's a traitor.

Sheep. Niketalk's favorite word next to racist and yambs.

So you THINK he's a traitor is what you meant to say. And you think this because you think he gave them information.

The guy telling us we're being watched, graphed, and categorized for various purposes in secret is a traitor. Because you think he gave away info.

Not the dudes spying on a global scale and lying to our faces.

NSA Can Listen to Xbox Live, World of Warcraft Communications
The Guardian prepares to release new documents.
by Luke Karmali DECEMBER 9, 201



New documents released by whistleblower Edward Snowden reveal US and UK spies have the ability to eavesdrop on conversations in Xbox Live, and have even placed agents in games including World of Warcraft and Second Life.

Fresh information released by The Guardian reveals government agents on both sides of the Atlantic have been paying close attention to online gaming communities since at least 2008.


A September 2008 memo from the NSA's UK sister agency GCHQ reveals that the organisation had "successfully been able to get the discussions between different game players on Xbox Live," while agents were put in both World of Warcraft and Second Life in a bid to monitor users' "buddylists and interaction".

While there's no evidence that such methods were successful in foiling any terrorist plots, an analyst apparently referred to them in a report as offering a "target-rich communications network" where potential threats could "hide in plain sight". It was apparently run out the Menwith Hill base in North Yorkshire.

While Microsoft declined to comment on the report, World of Warcraft developer Blizzard told the paper it was "unaware of any surveillance taking place. If it was, it would have been done without our knowledge or permission." GCHQ, meanwhile, didn't confirm or deny the report, only adding the actions were carried out "in accordance with a strict legal and policy framework which ensures that its activities are authorised, necessary and proportionate, and there is rigorous oversight, including from the secretary of state, the interception and intelligence services commissioners and the Intelligence and Security Committee."


How many individuals' private communications and data were accessed isn't known.

Does that mean they're aware of the "Why do they call it a Xbox 360? Because you turn 360 degrees and walk away" joke?

But if you turn 360 degrees....... And walk away.....you are still walking in the same direction.


And I heard Snowden is looking at asylum in Germany at the moment.

but honestly.. what harm can be done. its not as if real terrorists are online playing xbox and playstation 3/4, while discussing terror plots. I mean i understand the invasion of privacy issue. But chances are most the conversations being had / recorded are 99.9% useless.

If this is all true.. there must be a different reason for recording and listening to our chats online. Maybe Something far in the future that we wouldn't even understand now.. its way to early. Either way i'm against it, just not sure why they'd want to target the casual video game geek.
