You might ask what a post about government matters is doing on a social media site. Well, as a social media and Internet user, it is important for us to know about this.
The NSA is routinely examining large volumes of American's domestic domestic email messages without court warrants. Read that again please. Ok, got your attention? Scary isn't it?
So what are the implications of this? Does it only affect American citizens? If so, how do they determine who American citizens are?
Or do they just scan at network and router level for any email traffic coming in and out of the United States? Or do they scan based on USA domains and companies? If so, this would mean any person of any nationality with a yahoo.com, msn or gmail free email account is effectively (or potentially) being watched.
And what about american companies that provide email in other countries on a country domain like .ca, .in, .cn. .sg, .co.uk etc? Since the company is american and the servers possibly in america, can they watch this email traffic too?
There is a good article about this in the New York Times.
Well, this post has ended up with more questions than answers. If anyone knows more about this or has an opinion, let fellow readers know in the comments below.
