Answer» Interesting: http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2014/01/27/nsa-spying-through-angry-birds-google-maps/And yet again, as with every single NSA-related story I've read, they have zero sources. Dozens of classified documents, PROVIDED to the Guardian by whistleblower Edward Snowden and reported in partnership with the New York Times and ProPublica, detail the NSA and GCHQ efforts to piggyback on this commercial data collection for their own purposes.Classified documents which they of course don't share in any capacity and which are not available to anybody other than a select few in said news agencies. Oh wait, no, they do have an image of "A May 2010 NSA slide on the agency's 'perfect scenario' for obtaining data from mobile apps." you know, a terribly made 'slide' that features clip-art and an overly simplistic mock-up, just like every other "slide"; I find it a bit questionable given a journalist with 0 integrity could create that exact slide in a few seconds. Even if we assume it's legitimate, it provides 0 actually basis for any of the alleged claims. "The question is answered in the notes to the slide" A set of notes which they of course do not provide. " the documents suggested"... "The documents do not make it clear how much of the information that can be taken from apps is routinely collected" "The documents do set out in great detail exactly how much information can be collected from widely popular apps" ... "The GCHQ documents set out examples of what information can be extracted from different AD platforms" '"They are gathered in bulk, and are currently our single largest type of events," the document stated.' and so on. They use as a source documents that are NOT BEING MADE AVAILABLE TO ANYBODY ELSE. This is garbage journalism, pure and simple. sensationalization by hiding a source and pretending to be some revealer of SECRET information without actually revealing anything. IF they are going to provide their sources and let people decide for themselves what to make of them, that's fine. But what they are doing is keeping their alleged source documents (assuming they exist) secret and only providing 'slides' that could be easily created in 10 minutes by an unskilled user and 'scanned excerpts'* that use inconsistent typefaces and kerning. *I forget the actual article, but I remember one that said they received the "secret documents" through E-mail... and then provided scans of them. I'll let you figure out what's wrong with that picture.I CALL nonsense on this. Quote Some apps, the documents state, can share users' most sensitive information such as *censored* orientationI mean, of course you have to ENTER that sort of information to play Angry Birds. And of course, this is something the NSA are completely interested in... Quote from: camerongray on January 28, 2014, 03:07:50 AM I call nonsense on this."But the documents said it, it must be true!" "What documents?" "HEY LOOK OVER THERE A MONSTER" |
