That's the point, it's not that I don't care about this issue, but it's not a new issue, just because there were those "news" about the NSA and even while the news that the amount of the British data collection is bulkier than the one of the Pentagon are new, the problem still isn't new. No need to panic! When I set up my first Internet machine around 10 years ago I was thinking about this issue, it was a little bit before or after 9/11, but e.g. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Bundestrojaner always was discussed, even before it was named. I read that 2007 most people who were ask were pro this unconstitutional online search. Most people are stupid! In their minds they guess that it's ok, if somebody has nothing to hide, then it should be ok not to care about data protection. Fortunately those idiots are the once who run into issues, but not because the NSA does spy, but because they get mail from the department of public prosecution, because they were caught when uploading, while downloading illegal torrents :D, because there colleagues are able to read their open profile and the porn pics, while they thought the profile at Faceslap is closed for public etc.. They aren't aware that they are the once who have something to hide, but they aren't aware what everybody and what a judge is able to see. Most of as know what can be seen and what not, so because we're aware about this issues, we can be careful, so it's completely irrelevant for us. Would anybody trust the news that claim "since today all governments never ever will spy and collect the data anymore"? "All the people who protested against it made all the nations understanding that they did something wrong and from today on they never ever will do it again and beyond that Debian and other Linux distros have found a protection that is absolutely 101% safe." There's nothing we can do, nothing to talk about. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
