NSA disguised itself as Google to spy, say reports

NSA disguised itself as Google to spy, say reports | Politics and Law - CNET News

Here's one of the latest tidbits on the NSA surveillance scandal (which seems to be generating nearly as many blog items as there are phone numbers in the spy agency's data banks).

Earlier this week, Techdirt picked up on a passing mention in a Brazilian news story and a Slate article to point out that the US National Security Agency had apparently impersonated Google on at least one occasion to gather data on people. (Mother Jones subsequently pointed out Techdirt's point-out.)

Brazilian site Fantastico obtained and published a document leaked by Edward Snowden, which diagrams how a "man in the middle attack" involving Google was apparently carried out.

Good thing I gave up using Google quite some time ago.

But I guess it would be just as easy to hack other engines....Or just intimidate Yayhoo!, MSN and everyone else into acquiescing to the police/snoop state goombahs.

the US Message Board is a joint NSA/CIA program to gather data too.

Nah....They just want you to click on their ads, which I can't see anyways.

That can not be true.

Here in the US we subscribe to "American exceptionalism" ,(wink,wink) they are wrong they are referring to Russia, Syria, etc.

Google should take the NSA to court.
That'd be a laugh.

That sounds like an invitation.

I'd PM him and tell him you aren't gay or, if you are and engage in bum sex, arrange a meat meet.
