>An intelligence agency
>Good (in both the moral and actually getting shit done sense)
Choose one and only one

>Is the NSA one of the good guys?
No.

>>60971461
From the viewpoint of the average US citizen, they're good

>>60971749
Why? I don't see why the fuck they would think NSA is any good.

>>60971641
Moral relativism.

Stopped a lot of terrorist attacks.

>>60972243
They protect you from le ebil sand negroes , and because Nothing to Hide, Nothing to Fear™

Only the bad guys use encryption anyway

Name one.

Preventing terrorism is a waste of money. If you want to save lives spend that money on infrastructure and health care instead. More lives saved/$.

Why are they releasing these?

Clearly they are the good guys, they are just a version of the good guys that we have never technologically been able to have before. They'll sort themselves out after a while.

And it's like you never hear anything super bad about the nsa except that they are collecting data. I mean that's their job if it was your job to collect data would you not collect a bunch of computer data. Seems logical.

The big concern is that they are kept in check and they will be. The actual secure parts of the government are real good about keeping tabs on themselves. They can't afford to be slipping up where national security is concerned.

That being said are they eventually gonna use this data to go after pedophiles and shit? Almost certainly. Don't be a pedophile I guess. Are they gonna go after you for smoking dope or for evading taxes? Probably fucking not they don't have the time for that or the desire.

except it is OSS not FOSS so it is proprietary software
OP is a faggot, sage

Pedophilia isn't illegal, and child pornography isn't a matter of national security, meaning it's not the NSA's jurisdiction.

Hey NSA, im on your site. What other tabs do I have open?

>>60972460
>Pedophilia isn't illegal
Yes it is, in nearly every country
>NSA's jurisdiction
NSA may snoop within any country including its own, but may not deal with any internal affairs. You're half right as NSA can give evidence to the CIA, or the FBI which has jurisdiction inside the states.

After hearing Thomas Drake talk about how the NSA (and also the FBI and CIA) let 9/11 happen, when they could have prevented it, so they could initiate their mass global surveillance protocols, I'm inclined to think they are not one of the good guys.

>>60972425
And the Gestapo was just doing their job, too.

>>60972425
They can't be held accountable for anything because they can't be sued and can't be audited. That is massive government overreach.

>>60972540
>Yes it is, in nearly every country
No. Child porn is. Sexual contact with a child is. Contacting a child with the intent to solicit sex is. Being attracted to children isn't.
>NSA can give evidence to the CIA, or the FBI
Who aren't going to take it because it will completely screw over their case when the judge rules that the means used to obtain it make it inadmissible.

>>60971749
They're good because they secure the country. People don't like them are free to move to a third world country without a strong intelligence agency and get blown up by a Muslim suicide bomber.

What if terrorist attacks are mercenaries and recruited crazy people so that government can spy on you?

It is funny how all of you guys are screaming how media is controlled by jews and believe CNN reports of terrorist attacks.

>>60972372
>Stopped a lot of terrorist attacks.
after the google translator
>created many false flags attacks

If you're a computer nerd and don't think what the NSA does is baller as fuck then you're a faggot.

>>60972576
but what if they collect data to make an AI to replace government in near future?

one may wish

Fuck no. Their only good purposes have been pissing off the CIA
