Why is he confiscating the entire thing when the drive / ram would suffice? Germans are literally stupid.

No but I sure don't want M§ to know I'm into incestuous furry hentai.

OK. Also phone tapping and planting cameras is illegal if they are used to by civilians to spy on people, not the government.

First of all to collect your data, they use your data plans (if you have a limited amount per month, this has been increasingly applied by ISPs) to upload your documents, info, behaviour, settings, etc.
Second, this data can include your passwords, credit card info, bank account info, messages you send to people, pictures you take, scripts/code you write; this last meaning if you ever come up with a new idea for an app or a breakthrough program/service, microsoft already has it and theres a potential it already has been sold over to some third party company

Sounded like some Greek snack

They are making a profile. All your data, your keystrokes, ip addresses you connect to, data you send, they collect it and analyze it all through neural networks. This way they can create a huge set of parameters that, even though the engineers don't have to understand the correlation between the input data, make it possible to simulate your behavior. This will get more and more precise the more data they harvest.

Second step, they now can emulate you, so they can start to test. How large, where, which and when are ads displayed within the OS so that Microsoft can generate an optimum amount of cash? How expensive can they offer certain products so that you pay exactly the maximum you're willing to pay? How many subtle hints to buy Coca Cola can Microsoft feed your brain so that you aren't conscious of the advertising but still get as much as possible influenced by it? These are the kind of questions the neural network will be able to answer. You will systematically lose mind games with your OS: the more data you feed, the worse your life will be.

Well considering that the college fags that cry for their free speech have retarded arguments in the first place, you might have a point

I don't care about free speech for all these black lives/all lives/ sjw fags that have retarded views on maters they have no control of

Free speech used to be Castro standing behind a podium telling people that American Capitalism has no place in Cuba if it means dirtying up their streets and taking away land from their own people

It used to be MLK telling people why a black.man is no different from.a white man

Now it's faggots like you giving redundant arguments on why you're special enough to have a reason why the government can't get your passwords or files if they suspect you to be someone that wants to see the world burn.

If collecting peoples' passwords and data means that they can finally put an end to ISIS, B.Haram and Al Queda then fucking do it.

You think that the government cares that you watch CP on 4cham m8?

>>51459246
Even if they don't care about a thing now, they could just blackmail you in 20 years with it.

i don't have any of those things either, but that doesn't mean i don't need privacy. the "i have nothing to hide" mentality is flawed, because it implies one doesn't care about intimite thoughts and feelings and a sense of private space, where one can choose to whom they give what kind of information. to loose this privacy is not only a terrible thing in principle, but also a dangerous thing for society, as it makes people numb and keeps them from raising their voices.

>>51459497
The prerequisite of freedom is safety. All that's being asked is metadata so that the proper authorities can investigate and stop an imminent threat from taking place. The vast majority of people will be unaffected those with ill intentions will be sweating under the collar. Basically, you're just a random.

They don't read it and spread it anywhere, they don't care about your love interests, your fetishes, they don't care about your dick pics or anything you wouldn't tell anyone of your friends because it's very emotional to you or something

they don't have the man power to do such things
they just can't
you'd need 3 people in an 8 hour shift to do that for one single person

that's entirely not what any company does that's "spying" on you
they just, if at all, save your shit for a couple days, some program checks your pictures for CP and your texts for hidden terror threads and then they delete it

no one will ever go "LOL YOU SEXTED THAT DUDE ON KIK XD" on your facebook wall

>>51459704
Can I send an award to you? Whats your address?

Your service to a Japanese board should be recognized

>>51459581

Metadata is everything though. It's who you talk you, how long you talk to them, where you go, whose around you when your out, what you buy, where you buy from, who you email and the subject of the email. The United States government assassinates people based on their metadata in Afghanistan.

Not only that, but it isn't just the metadata. Look at a x-keyscore: under that program they are scanning everything that is sent over the internet. Two years ago it was capable of scanning email attachments to see if a certain company's logo was in it.

Worse of all: every objective entity that has looked at it has determined that it has stopped exactly ZERO attacks. In fact, a number of experts contend that mass surveillance makes it harder to focus on and find terrorists.

You're wrong. They do abuse their access. According to the Inspector General, there were 2,776 abuses in the Fort Meade area in 2013 alone.

It's not that they are looking through individual data streams, they are connecting the dots between your facebook, GPS location, bank records, and emails.

>>51459779

Knowledge is power
The more someone knows about you, the more control they have over you.
Who has the power to influence you most? The people that know you, that's who.
The power to influence your opinions and beliefs could easily be used to influence public opinion, elections and government policy.

-anon a is a scientific thinker, anon a gets exposed to scientific studies supporting desired policy
-anon b is paranoid, anon b gets exposed to paranoid reasons to support desired policy.
-anon c is racist and gets exposed to info on how desired policy will be good for their race

No one should have that kind of power, not any heartless corporation, government or even someone benign and trusted.

People should program computers, not be programmed by them.

>>51457954

When I was a kid, my mom would go through my things occasionally, under the pretense of cleaning my room for me. Sometimes she would find contraband or "questionable" materials, for example a polaroid of my girlfriend topless, furry handcuffs that we would use, etc. But my mom wouldn't let on that she found anything.

She would only let it slip during fun-filled, holiday family get-togethers much later on. "Oh well you know what *I* found in anon's room once..." <uproarious laughter>

To this day, snooping and invasions of privacy bug the absolute shit out of me. My wife knows to not open my mail, even my junk mail. All of my devices are of course password protected, and the thought of someone going through my things makes me absolutely itch. I don't care if all I have to hide is my boring browsing history and a grocery list...it's the principle of it.

So the Windows 10 with its telemetry feature is maddening to me. I absolutely refuse to use it. As it is I have to use Windows 8, and it's become a hobby of mine to VM it and lock it down completely.

if you retards bothered to read the fucking kb's you would realize they are getting info about uac escalations.

if you think all of your fucking keystrokes are being sent back to them every 15 minutes you are a fucking moron

I really don't give a shit. There's nothing that makes me more interesting than anyone else getting their data collected, and with only a limited amount of manpower there's no way the government is combing through the life or data of someone like me.

>ITT fellow members of Anonymous

>>51460410
Well every Windows had telemetry so nobody cares, and also having an internet connection is already living in the botnet.
Even encrypted data might be safe now, but what in 10 years or maybe less years.
NSA happly saves hard drives that are encrypted or even data that goes encrypted over the web, who knows.
Ofcourse you can use tools such as VPNs and TOR but that still isn't safe out of the box.
Logging into your e-mail adress with tools on you already gave your identity away, alot of people can't be bothered to seperate their online life in 2 pieces so using that all is for nothing if you make 1 mistake.
Tbh data collection happends in real life too examples ( ID's, passports, your sign, work, school, on documents from gov, insurance, lincenses, banks , work services, smartphones, subscriptions)
Without internet or being registerd somewhere you can't live normally in the western world.

I am still using Windows 7. Should I even bother "upgrading" to W8 or W10?

>>51459916
Spoilers : schools are the best way to legally get information of students, every student has a big ass report of this school carreer and behaviour ect, we talk about online but we forget that real life data collection is way worse, and you can evade particually online data collection ( if you put effort into it) but you can't evade real life data collection because that would mean no school no job no money no house.

>>51460842
In this case that would also mean no windows, meaning no computer for a lot of people.

>>51459775
I think you have the wrong idea entirely.

Imagine living in a country where, to protect them of course, citizens are aggressively monitored at all times. How would monitoring citizens keep them safe? detected dissidents would be removed from society to be "reconditioned", "indefinitely detained" or "disposed of". Obviously non dissidents would enjoy a life of peace and serenity, but who the hell do you think decides what a "dissident" is?

One day in this utopia, somebody links watching anime to dissident behavior, A list of all those who have ever exhibited interest in anime is compiled with ease and potential "abhorrents" are screened. Others question the validity of the link between anime and societal doom and start a discussion with the authority about this. Their arguments do not hold up, and they too are rounded up(luckily there is a record of anybody who has ever defended "watchers of anime")

Imagine living in this country, in perpetual fear that at some point in the future some interest you have had, some collection of interests, something you once said or typed, a book you once read, a game you once played, a movie you tried to buy was linked to dissident behavior and you too were labeled as a menace to society. Would you question the authority, knowing full well that doing so was a risk to your continued survival?

Do you think very much knew would be discovered in this country? where, in order to protect the other citizens, every new idea and concept has to be vetted by a relevant authority. Do you think anyone would write interesting books, or make good movies or games where doing just such a thing might be deemed jeopardising to public safety?

I don't even know how to describe how sinister a thing it is for a multi million dollar COMPANY to enforce what amounts to corporate espionage on private citizens to protect the interest of other COMPANIES.

>>51461192

Well put, anon. And that's just a single application of regional or planetary surveillance. Really the possibilities are the stuff of nightmare fuel:
- monitoring and blackmail of political opponents, representatives, politicians
- sending leads to local law enforcement to pressure "fringe" groups
- monitoring effectiveness of propaganda
- monitoring and enhancing censorship
- measuring effectiveness of "social control" programs
- suppressing leaks & whistle blowing
- corporate espionage, theft of R&D for companies that partner with government

Omnipresent surveillance is literally a super weapon for oppressive governments. And its power is so great and intoxicating, that it's difficult to imagine how it wouldn't corrupt presently liberal regimes.

Most disingenuous shit I've ever heard. It's like you've never heard of big data, or noticed how hard drive capacity skyrocketed to where it is now (where it's kind of plateauing).

Nowadays Google, etc, have enough capacity to store your data forever. Believe it or not, humans are not socially productive enough to outpace the rate of growth of hard drive capacity.

They don't have to have people monitor you 24/7. Just file everything in a big hash table. Sort and search, motherfucker.

>>51462101
Search and sort by what? Keyword: "funny fetishes"? Then they're going to post it all on normiebook for the internet to laugh at you?

Again, I think it's a huge invasion of privacy but as it stands and with nothing being done about it (as far as I know, I'm not a US citizen) you personally have nothing to worry about.

I don't agree with it, but everyone here should realize there's literally no one on this entire website important enough for the government to look twice at.

>>51462230
>shilling this hard
I literally just pointed out that your data can be stored forever to be used against you.

>Keyword: "funny fetishes"?
That's possible, yes. Would you like to be on a list of people will furry fetishes?

>Then they're going to post it all on normiebook for the internet to laugh at you?
Is that your worst fear? You don't care about never being able to be employed in a future where this service is available on a pay-per-query basis due to your furry fetish?

>I don't agree with it, but everyone here should realize there's literally no one on this entire website important enough for the government to look twice at.

>So we agree. Our government shouldn't be storing data for powerful entities to use to extort the public.

Not that anon. People have a fundamental, inalienable right to privacy. The burden isn't on citizens to prove why they need privacy. The burden is on the government to prove why they need to violate that privacy.

In modern societies that determination has always been on a case-by-case basis. The idea of general warrants was one of the reasons America fought a revolution. For the government to unilaterally determine that they aren't going to abide by the 4th ammendment should disturb us all. And to do so in secret should be grounds for treason.

These intelligence agencies are misguided in believing that they are solely tasked with protecting the geographic America, protecting American ideals and values should be just as important for them. This is the reason that soldiers, politicians, and intelligence officers all swear am oath to the Constitution, not the government.

>>51462477
>So you agree that it's a bad thing now?

I have always agreed. It's not about the importance of the DATA being logged, it's the importance of the INDIVIDUAL.

Like I've said before, no one on this site, not a single person, is important enough. Everyone here likes to think they're important, but they're not. Their data is being logged, but no one gives a fuck about said data. They're not making a furry list, they're not making a foot fetishist list, they're not making a /g/ list.

There seems to be confusion that I am defending the NSA. I am saying that in light of the shitty circumstances, people can sleep a bit easier at night knowing that they themselves as individuals don't have too much to worry about.

Fuck off, Microsoft.

Fuck off, NSA.

Report, don't reply.

>Why do you care about your human rights.
GEE LOL I DONT KNOW

>>51462636
Both NSA and MS actively and PASSIVELY collect majority of the data (one majority of data of their OS users, one majority of data of the entire digital world).

THEY DONT NEED TO TARGET
YOU ARE BEING MONITORED
FROM THE GET GO
PASSIVELY

YOUR HUMAN RIGHTS ARE BEING BROKEN

>>51462636

The problem with that thinking is what you're effectively saying is: don't make any trouble for the government and you'll be fine. The chilling effect this has on reform and revolution is not desirable.

The courts, the president's committees, and Congress have all concluded that these programs haven't stopped a single terrorist plot. The only thing that NSA points to is a case where a cab driver in San Diego made a $8500 contribution to ISIS.

If these programs don't stop terrorists, then you have to ask: why are these agencies fighting tooth and nail to save them? The answer is logical for anyone with even an elementary understanding of history.

>>51462636
>I have always agreed. It's not about the importance of the DATA being logged, it's the importance of the INDIVIDUAL.
Wow, you are stupid. Go ahead and consider yourself unimportant and that all your shit can be logged because you're a kek.

You may have given up on your future but most people don't think this way.

>>51462567
You still think they believe that they are doing it to protect whatever country ?
No , they exactly know why and what they are doing, just we already as man kind accepted it.
This whole data grabbing started way before 2001 but it started in real life.
But unless you use various proxies and non real information ( aliases ) then i doubt you should be worried.
But if you post on social media your shit it's entirely your own fault, the internet is not playgarden any more to throw personal information at.


Spoilers : OS's doesn't matter, they only use such attacks if you are a potential threat, if your using linux your still participating the botnet ( The Internet ) and now all social & government & taxes & insurance details are going into the cloud, it's alot more efficienter to log directly from the main pipes if you want mass data, and we can't control those lines ( you can control an OS tho )

>>51462880

I'm not so willing to sacrifice the internet as you are. Crypto, properly implemented, is the key, not hiding under a rock. We fought this war successfully in the 90s, and we'll fight it again. I don't want to live in a world where every relationship, every purchase, every conversation, every movement is recorded and scrutinized by the entity that is supposed to be representing my interests.

>>51462931
Oh yes, 90s was a way diffrent story then now, even if there are laws against it, they still gonna do it.
We already let it happen, and as soon as quantum computing takes it's first steps off anything that has been send is not safe anymore, there are simply not enough people caring what those agencys do prove me wrong.

>>51458015
Not only for encryption reasons but cops are generally complete assholes, even if you are innocent good luck getting your shit back in a timely matter. If they take the whole thing it costs the person they raided more money to replace.

>>51462931
To be honest, you should never trust / rely on crypto because there are always ways to exploit it.
Might be safe now, might have been safe last 20 years but we don't know if it's still safe 5 years from now on.
Trusting something is already a sign that your awareness is slacking off because you "think" it's safe but infact it isn't.
The internet isn't safe to put any trust in anything even if they are so much audited and whatever.

OK, but do you really think the Utah data centre or equivalent is capable of caching mass-encrypted data without compression? (i.e. loss) No I don't think so. In fact even unencrypted stuff I doubt they are caching apart from the meta data unless you are a high ranking businessman or govt man, spy, terrorist etc. So basically a potential threat or asset.

I dont care about ms botnet. I just hate how windows is rigid os. You cant customize a shit without struggle. Inability to make custom shortcuts makes me sad. Windows is for plebs...

>inb4 Microsoft implements some Win10-only "feature" that is required for apps to run, thereby gradually phasing out Winxp/7/8 users who desperately cling to their "non-botnet OS's"

I give it a couple years before Microsoft step up the pace, and pro-actively push old OS's out the nest.

You think, but we don't know they probably have more datacenters.
When you don't know you are gonna asume the worst case scenario otherwise you already let you guard down.
With over 10billion a year ( estimated 2013 ) you can't really think you're safe.
And about snowden leaks there is huge tinfoil hattery around it, people get killed leaking such information & why doesn't he leak everything if it's all so important.

>>51466078
they already did it
this is how they killed yify

Oh really? Yet here I am pirating every decent TV show, book and program under the sun and the government still doesn't care. You just gave proof on why your argument is redundant
>>51468970
No. Racism won't stop if you put a race on a pedestal and attack the opposite for the slightest of hints of pointing out differentiation. Some people are black, some are white, american white people have disgusting tendencies, black people have disgusting tendencies, and neither side will be happy unless they humble up. Which is something the American gene is unable to do.

SJWs have a similar problem, the things aren't an issue in most EU countries like Belgium, France and Netherlands, why do you think so?

Why don't you walk around naked outside when it's hot, are you hiding weapons and bombs?

>>51470349
Is this supposed to be some crafty alliteration to the subject? Are you literally on suicide watch gripping for you life? Well if you want an answer, its because I'm hairy af and people don't need to see that.

The difference between you retarded situation and the topic is that your friends and family doesn't see the books I read, the music and listen to nor the reaction images I download, just the government.

So, because the gov has my blood and knows that I'm half wolf, but not everyone knows.

let put it simply with history:
KGB had an eye on everybody, no matter what. You said something wrong, you were fucked, so no one speak.
You did something that displease some upper high? you are fucked too.
KGB had eyes in EU governement, able to push retartded shit (i.e Rainbow warrior bombing)

Now you take the KGB, take out the political aspect, crank their spying power to 14 and deal with the fact that so many people are giving infos by themselves about themselves. Welcome to Facebook and Microsoft world.

>>51475984
Are you retarded? Their primary purpose is to conduct foreign intelligence.

>>51476052

That's their stated goal, but they intercept more American communications than Russian. They say this is "incidental" but they still query it.

As far as operating inside the US. They do and they've never argued otherwise. It's the CIA whose charter states they can't operate inside the US, though they still do.

>>51476052
No it's not. Between cia, FBI, and NSA, who do you think "conducts foreign intelligence"

>>51476572
No shit, I didn't say they don't operate inside the US, I said they don't operate *exclusively* inside the US.

https://www.nsa.gov/about/index.shtml

"Our Signals Intelligence mission collects, processes, and disseminates intelligence information from foreign signals for intelligence"

https://www.nsa.gov/sigint/index.shtml

"SIGINT is intelligence derived from electronic signals and systems used by foreign targets, such as communications systems, radars, and weapons systems. SIGINT provides a vital window for our nation into foreign adversaries' capabilities, actions, and intentions.

NSA's SIGINT mission is specifically limited to gathering information about international terrorists and foreign powers, organizations, or persons."

>>51476680

>foreign

The problem with this is that communications are considered foreign unless their is conclusive evident that states otherwise. Even then, those communications are held for 5 years, unless they're encrypted or a few other exceptions, then they're held forever.

This view is blind to the fact that donestic packets travel internationally all the time. An email from one domestic Gmail account to another will almost surely pass through Google's datacenter in Ireland, for example.

>>51476680
>from foreign signals
>from a signal that comes from a foreign source
Learn English mate, if they get something from oversees to the US, they may intervene, else, its not their business

>>51476798

I'm not thst anon, but that's the theory. If you look at the actual programs that isn't the way they operate. I don't understand how anyone can make these arguments after the Snowden leaks.

>>51476901

Freetards will defend that they're not brain dead.

It seems like there would be such a liability for the police department to swat somebody that they would really check up on the legitimacy first.

I mean they cant just bust down your door and storm your house with a team of officers every time they get some anonymous tip. That leaves a gaping hole for harassment and discrimination lawsuits.
