But they didn't bother to tell the public about all of the unconstitutional things Obama has done. Yeah....liberal media at its best.
Maybe because those only exist in the right-wing derp bubble. This program was balanced and fair and lay plenty of blame on the Obama administration-- it's deserved. Just because they didn't make him out to be the entitled-Kenyan-Constitution-Hating-monarch that you think him to be doesn't make the program liberal, or the treatment unfair.
If this is your contribution you should hush up... The adults are talking.

Where are those adults? You can't possibly be talking about yourself. Presidents, for a very long time now, and Obama is the worse, have ignored the constitution for the powers to be to get what they want.
If people don't like the current conditions of the Surveillance State, they better make their voices heard because I can assure you that it's only going to get worse under Obama's successor unless we do something now.
thats the part that truly amazes me. "we need face book to set up greater privacy for our accounts" " hey everyone check out my facebook page where i tell you everything about me and my future plans"
Are you referencing the ability to use social media accounts as other logins? I have not see this particular claim made, though I would not doubt such a spin. Using a common login for other accounts is not more secure. It is less. Makes it much easier to track and hack. The idea that it will help one manage better is a nominal gain.

I don't think enough care to be worth talking about. And I don't see that changing until/unless doors of innocent everyday Americans start to get busted down for FBI searches as a result of this surveillance. If people really cared about this, no one, but no one would ever sign up for G-mail or a Google account.
In my view, our outrage needs to be focused on the corporate sleazeballs that have made billions invading our privacy and peddling our personal info while making this all possible.

Rockefeller Hammers Motorola Over FirstNet

The issue is near and dear to Rockefeller. FirstNet was proposed by the 9/11 Commission after the lack of communications cost--or at the least failed to save--lives of first responders in the Twin Towers.
The Internet of Cops Is Coming

If you're suffering from Snowden-fatigue, tired of the seemingly neverending series of NSA and GCHQ revelations, don't worry, because a new surveillance threat is on the horizon.
BRICScable eyes 2015 completion

Interesting, notion that "military" purposes and "commercial" purposes are different. Notice the keyword "purely". The choice of the word "weird" is also interesting.
"Ladar Levison, founder of the encrypted email provider Lavabit, details why he was forced to shut down his company last summer after the U.S. government attempted to seize Edward Snowden’s email information and much more. The FBI was targeting Snowden after he exposed the National Security Agency’s surveillance to the world, but in doing so effectively wanted access to the accounts of 400,000 other Lavabit customers. Levison was barred from discussing the case in detail at the time, saying only that he had refused "to become complicit in crimes against the American people." Earlier this week, a federal judge unsealed key parts of the record detailing the government’s requests from Lavabit, freeing Levison to talk more openly about what happened. "The government was telling bold-faced lies," Levison says. "It was impossible to trust them with the access they wanted. The only option was to shut down or to become complicit in what they were seeking — the mass surveillance of my customers."

Honestly, Frontline is probably one of the best news magazines on TV and that's coming from a conservative. They don't pull any punches and they certainly didn't gloss over the Obama administrations involvement.
The vast majority of citizens of this country are completely oblivious to what their government is doing. They couldn't care less. For most in our society, the candidate that is the most photogenic is the one who gets elected. Qualifications and expertise mean much less than a candidates camera presence. The crimes of an administration are of little consequence to the typical American.
Correct. In other words, most Americans only see symbolism over substance. As long add they have their cake & eat it too, they will have the "I have nothing to hide" attitude, which is very dangerous.
