Yep, companies cooperating with the NSA should be legally destroyed through patent and other regulatory violations, as well as public avoidance, and their assets sold off to the highest bidder. We may not be able to control our .gov but we can sure as hell control who we do business with.
How is dealing with the NSA cause for canceling patents? Market condemnation, loss of business and even bankruptcy, yes. But taking their patents would be like taking a car company’s patents because they didn’t sell street cars that can go 150 mph at the request if the Transportation Department.
I hope my company drops RSA in the next couple of weeks. If I was the head of IT/security that would be job #1 in the new year.
They know who we are and bus us around, but we know not each other in America anymore. Good job Obama. Time to set up the counties vs. the Feds and their treachery of regionalizing america under UN-Islam-Chinese-Russian banner. We are a colonony of our self prepapring the ground for some infamous wedding from hell’s organizing to hell.
All of the big Internet backbone switches have NSA back-doors built in now. I have a friend who worked for Juniper Systems on a “special” AT&T project. He quit pretty quickly without saying why, even though he had relocated for the job. I always had the impression they wanted him to work on spy software for their switches and he refused and quit.
Level 3, AT&T and the other major backbone providers who use these switches know their Internet backbone switches have interception software built-in by the OEM manufacturers based on NSA specifications. However, the carriers won’t say a peep though because they win multi-billion dollar bids from the feds for providing the private backbone structures for the defense department Internets as well as a plethora of private federal civilian backbones.
