yea...with the collusion of Nokia & Seimmans , now teaming up
with Intel , perhaps we should be worried ....
Those companies seem to be willing to do whatever the requesting government ask of them to set up . Regardless of the consequences .
You betcha, by golly, when Iran nukes Isreal and NK nukes HI, we’ll just have to stand there and watch Gates and Obama just twitter the hell out of ‘em!!!
I imagine this will root out anything anti-government, rather than preventing the Chinese from hacking government databases.
Ya gotta have your priorities.
.
It’s going to be a matter of when, not whether, a significant hostile is going to launch the mother of all DDOS attacks upon the US internet infrastructure, and are we going to be ready for that? Good on Obama (can’t believe I’m saying that, but even blind pigs get acorns) for at least letting Gates look at this issue. This concern is not going to care who is in the White House.
>> “People are leery about NSA having any sort of larger role and people are leery about this question of the militarization of the Internet. And even with DOD’s statements, which I think are accurate, we’re still going to have those concerns,”
I’m not too concerned about our military. They’re professional, and sworn to uphold our rights, and I believe in my heart that they take that vow seriously.
At any pay grade below Commander in Chief, that is.
Bambi... Rahm... Holder... and any pussy “brass” those vermin appoint... now THEY worry me.
KaBOOM trumps twitter, every time!!!
Yep. They were responsible for the block in civilian intel coming out of Iran.
Stuff like this kills me. Where have these doofwads been living for the past 15 years?
For the technically savvy, there is NO privacy on the internet. Why do they think entire industries have popped up selling Spyware Protection and Virus Protection?
A different Gates is responsible for that.
Amen to that! ;-)
Imagine the uproar if this had happened under Bush. Every Rat politician and their fellow-traveler privacy groups as well as the Obama-ass-kissing media would be screaming about how Bush is trying to spy on the American people. Now all it rates is pretty much of a yawn by these assorted scumbaggery.
On the flip slide.
Imagine the uproar by Conservative if Obama had tried the Patriot Act, Department of Homeland Security, No Fly List, etc.
They made a great tag team.
Nobody - military or not - is trustworthy with absolute power. Most military officers and personnel will violate your constitutional rights if ordered to do so in the name of national security. Bet on it. There would be few objectors.
Fat chance this guy would have done anything like that to defend our country. So your 'flip side' is a flop.
You mean people’s cyberwarfare against Obama’s five sided polygon?
Someone with conscience will eventually surface the story.
