    The conclusions from the UN report on surveillance are amazing even beyond what this article writes. http://www.zdnet.com/article/un-privacy-rapporteur-says-little-or-no-evidence-that-surveillance-laws-work/ …pic.twitter.com/ZRmxtqEeDC

        Of course mass surveillance doesn't protect countries; its true goal has always been to protect governments.

        It works for control. That's what it's all about. Terrorism was just a ruse used as a means to that end.

        Ed, buddy, It Doesn't Mention INFORMANTS. You KNOW the aim of mass surveillance is NOT intel, but creation, control of Informants.

        it works very well in China. At a press of a button the government can know anything about anyone that uses the net.
