NSA is not nice.
Heck, mine has been on file since 1966, what me worry?
NYT trying to justify the NSA now. Of course, these tricks will be useful in tracking down those ever-elusive “right-wing terrorists” that suddenly (and inconveniently) become Muslims once they’re actually found.
And the NSA will have plenty of pictures of honest, hardworking, normal people who fell for the Facebook experiment. The “real” or hardcore criminals won’t have their pics on there under their own names. So what does that tell you? Americans, particularly patriots, are most likely the focus.
The enemy is in the White House. There is no national security.
THE FACE that has illegally exchanged a military deserter jihadist for the top five terrorists to Afghanistan .. . Is THAT FACE on the radar of the NSA?
Well, this just might prompt me to use a picture of Obama as my avatar/icon for all those pesky subversive emails, posts, and communiques that I write.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
****Important!!!****
I'm starting a new job Monday. This will impact my ability to quickly ping to this list. Don't worry if I don't promptly ping list to an article you've told me about. I'll get there. Eventually.
There is another area of possible concern, and that is the data that is collected when you volunteer and sometimes pay for a DNA test.
One of the longtime genealogy companies has been selling a DNA home test to discover ancestors and to prove if one is a Native American and other genetic racial history.
Then, 23andMe got into the game and not only did you get your Genetic ancestor history, you got a probable profile re inherited diseases.
This sounds good, but what control did the company have to protect your genetic history. Your genetic history makes your current medical records look like child’s play.
Below is an article in Scientific American re the possible dangers of this collected data.

Considering they have access to probably every DMV photo that has been taken for decades along with all the personal info, “What difference does it make now” if they pull a few off of the web? And the only pick they will pull of the web for me is my dogs facebook page pic.
Just remember this little fact folks. This idea of keeping databases on private citizens legal and law abiding activities was the brain fart of a GW Bush United States Attorney General. Never, Ever, forget both parties hate your rights and freedom as much as they hate the Constitution of the United States they willingly ignore.
I’ve maintained for some time that social media is evil. Here’s another example. It’s not the media per se, it’s the way(s) the media gets used.
AFAIK, my pic is nowhere. Gonna stay that way, too.
Best defense is a good offense.
The speculation that the FBI and the DoD are complicit in this is false. They comply with federal law with regard to US persons.
I hate to say, “Take my word for it”, but take my word for it.
I should upload the picture of the ugliest person I could find onto my social media accounts. When they come across my accounts, the image will break their equipment! Mwu-hu-hw-ha-ha-ha-haaaa!
Let’s see that pretty smile, Citizen! [click]
