Is Edward Snowden a hero? Should all of your personal phone calls be recorded?06-07-2023 18:15
Swan★★★★★ (5723)	Why Edward Snowden Is a Hero By John Cassidy https://www.newyorker.com/news/john-cassidy/why-edward-snowden-is-a-hero Why Edward Snowden Is a Hero Is Edward Snowden, the twenty-nine-year-old N.S.A. whistle-blower who was last said to be hiding in Hong Kong awaiting his fate, a hero or a traitor? He is a hero. (My colleague Jeffrey Toobin disagrees.) In revealing the colossal scale of the U.S. government's eavesdropping on Americans and other people around the world, he has performed a great public service that more than outweighs any breach of trust he may have committed. Like Daniel Ellsberg, the former Defense Department official who released the Pentagon Papers, and Mordechai Vanunu, the Israeli nuclear technician who revealed the existence of Israel's weapons program, before him, Snowden has brought to light important information that deserved to be in the public domain, while doing no lasting harm to the national security of his country. Doubtless, many people inside the U.S. power structure—President Obama included—and some of its apologists in the media will see things differently. When Snowden told the Guardian that "nothing good" was going to happen to him, he was almost certainly right. In fleeing to Hong Kong, he may have overlooked the existence of its extradition pact with the United States, which the U.S. authorities will most certainly seek to invoke. The National Security Agency has already referred the case to the Justice Department, and James Clapper, Obama's director of National Intelligence, has said that Snowden's leaks have done "huge, grave damage" to "our intelligence capabilities." Before accepting such claims at face value, let's remind ourselves of what the leaks so far have not contained. They didn't reveal anything about the algorithms that the N.S.A. uses, the groups or individuals that the agency targets, or the identities of U.S. agents. They didn't contain the contents of any U.S. military plans, or of any conversations between U.S. or foreign officials. As Glenn Greenwald, one of the journalists who broke the story, pointed out on "Morning Joe" today, this wasn't a WikiLeaks-style data dump. "[Snowden] spent months meticulously studying every document," Greenwald said. "He didn't just upload them to the Internet." So, what did the leaks tell us? First, they confirmed that the U.S. government, without obtaining any court warrants, routinely collects the phone logs of tens of millions, perhaps hundreds of millions, of Americans, who have no links to terrorism whatsoever. If the publicity prompts Congress to prevent phone companies such as Verizon and A.T. & T. from acting as information-gathering subsidiaries of the spying agencies, it won't hamper legitimate domestic-surveillance operations—the N.S.A. can always go to court to obtain a wiretap or search warrant—and it will be a very good thing for the country. The second revelation in the leaks was that the N.S.A., in targeting foreign suspects, has the capacity to access vast amounts of user data from U.S.-based Internet companies such as Facebook, Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, and Skype. Exactly how this is done remains a bit murky. But it's clear that, in the process of monitoring the communications of overseas militants and officials and the people who communicate with them, the N.S.A. sweeps up a great deal of online data about Americans, and keeps it locked away—seemingly forever. Conceivably, the fact that Uncle Sam is watching their Facebook and Google accounts could come as news to some dimwit would-be jihadis in foreign locales, prompting them to communicate in ways that are harder for the N.S.A. to track. But it will hardly surprise the organized terrorist groups, which already go to great lengths to avoid being monitored. Not for nothing did Osama bin Laden's compound in Abbottabad go without a phone or Internet connection. Another Snowden leak, which Greenwald and the Guardian published over the weekend, was a set of documents concerning another secret N.S.A. tracking program with an Orwellian name: "Boundless Informant." Apparently designed to keep Snowden's former bosses abreast of what sorts of data it was collecting around the world, the program unveiled the vast reach of the N.S.A.'s activities. In March, 2013, alone, the Guardian reported, the N.S.A. collected ninety-seven billion pieces of information from computer networks worldwide, and three billion of those pieces came from U.S.-based networks. It's hardly surprising that the main targets for the N.S.A.'s data collection were Iran (fourteen billion pieces in that period) and Pakistan (more than thirteen billion), but countries such as Jordan, India, and Egypt, American allies all, may be a bit surprised to find themselves so high on the list. "We hack everyone everywhere," Snowden told the Guardian. "We like to make a distinction between us and the others. But we are in almost every country in the world. We are not at war with these countries." IBdaMann claims that Gold is a molecule, and that the last ice age never happened because I was not there to see it. The only conclusion that can be drawn from this is that IBdaMann is clearly not using enough LSD. According to CDC/Government info, people who were vaccinated are now DYING at a higher rate than non-vaccinated people, which exposes the covid vaccines as the poison that they are, this is now fully confirmed by the terrorist CDC This place is quieter than the FBI commenting on the chink bank account information on Hunter Xiden's laptop I LOVE TRUMP BECAUSE HE PISSES OFF ALL THE PEOPLE THAT I CAN'T STAND. ULTRA MAGA "Being unwanted, unloved, uncared for, forgotten by everybody, I think that is a much greater hunger, a much greater poverty than the person who has nothing to eat." MOTHER THERESA OF CALCUTTA So why is helping to hide the murder of an American president patriotic? It's time to dig up Joseph Mccarthey and show him TikTok, then duck. Now be honest, was I correct or was I correct? LOL Edited on 06-07-2023 18:16

Lot of people have access to your communications, if they want. Most have the sense of duty, integrity not to abuse and blab about it. Really is simply, don't put crap out there you don't want shared, or used against you. Never know who your audience may be. Even Apple will sell you out, if the price is right. Snowden should be hung, or the firing squad, publicly. Worst kind of traitor, and thief. He did it for fame and fortune, not because he cared about you. It's more than the US spying. It's what we know, and how we got the information. They could care less about your tomatoes, or your homosexual tendencies. They do care about your paranoid delusions, hero worship of scum like Snowden, and other radicals.

They do care about your paranoid delusions, hero worship of scum like Snowden, and other radicals. The delusional one is you, because the only reason that we know that no form of communication is secure is because of Snowden. Which means that somewhere there are recordings of you jerking off on the gay phone sex line. There was this guy that I worked with in the government offices, he was Irish and as so his skin color was whiter than average. I was talking about Ed so he says what do I care about it if the NSA records me, I am not a terrorist, so he thought just like you. Well this guy was known to play the ponies before sports betting was legal. So I just blurted out what is the point spread on the Patriots game. At that point the white Irish guy dropped his mouth and his skin color turned into the color of milk as I said, every phone call means every phone call meaning that every one of his sports bets to bookies was recorded somewhere. However you do not care because you are the piece of government shit doing the recording, and as such you are owned and can never be free of your sins of recording little girls calling their friends while you jerk off with glee. So enjoy your captivity until they kill you with one of the nonsense prescription drugs or vaccines designd to shorten life spans IBdaMann claims that Gold is a molecule, and that the last ice age never happened because I was not there to see it.

If you can hear it, someone else has the same capacity. Cell phones aren't any better. You can get included in a conference call from any phone, no special hardware required. You are a fool if you believe your communications were ever 100% private and secure.

You think the NSA is Congress, just like you think all other government agencies are the FBI. The NSA can't make anything illegal, although I think that they can make things amphibious. Why do you hate America? and Americans? Actually, how the NSA can 'turn on' your phone remotely Even if you power off your cell phone, the U.S. government can turn it back on. That's what ex-spy Edward Snowden revealed in last week's interview with NBC's Brian Williams. It sounds like sorcery. Can someone truly bring your phone back to life without touching it? No. But government spies can get your phone to play dead. It's a crafty hack. You press the button. The device buzzes. You see the usual power-off animation. The screen goes black. But it'll secretly stay on -- microphone listening and camera recording. How did they get into your phone in the first place? Here's an explanation by former members of the CIA, Navy SEALs and consultants to the U.S. military's cyber warfare team. They've seen it firsthand. Related: Google testing super-secure email Government spies can set up their own miniature cell network tower. Your phone automatically connects to it. Now, that tower's radio waves send a command to your phone's antennae: the baseband chip. That tells your phone to fake any shutdown and stay on. A smart hack won't keep your phone running at 100%, though. Spies could keep your phone on standby and just use the microphone -- or send pings announcing your location. John Pirc, who did cybersecurity research at the CIA, said these methods -- and others, like physically bugging devices -- let the U.S. hijack and reawaken terrorists' phones. Related: Cybersecurity: How safe are you? "The only way you can tell is if your phone feels warm when it's turned off. That means the baseband processor is still running," said Pirc, now chief technology officer of the NSS Labs security research firm. This isn't easy to accomplish. It's a highly targeted attack. But if you are really concerned about the government's ability to reawaken your phone, here are some things you could do. Recovery mode. Put your phone on what's known as Device Firmware Upgrade (DFU) mode. This bypasses the phone's operating system. Every phone has a different approach for this. It's fairly easy (albeit cumbersome) for iPhone users. Plug it into a computer with iTunes open. Hold down the Power and Home buttons for 10 seconds (no less) then let go of the Power button. Wait for an iTunes pop-up. That's it. For Android users, recovery mode varies by model. Android Magazine has a great tutorial here. Create a barrier. Use a signal-blocking phone case. You can buy them (Off Pocket, HideCell) or even make your own -- assuming you have the patience to do so. Pull out the battery. Without a power source, the phone can't come back on. This is the best, most surefire option. It's also, annoyingly, no longer a choice on most top-of-the-line smartphones. The iPhone, HTC One and Nokia Lumia don't have removable batteries. Luckily, the Samsung Galaxy and LG G3 still do. Silent Circle, a company that enables top-end private communication, kept these issues in mind when it co-created the Blackphone. It has a removable battery. It uses PrivatOS, a stripped-down version of Android that reduces tracking. And because spoofed cell towers can target its antennae too, Blackphone's makers are working with chipmaker Nvidia (NVDA) to develop their own custom, more secure baseband chip. Silent Circle CEO Mike Janke, a former Navy SEAL, said they designed the phone based on revelations that the NSA can find powered off phones and the FBI can tap their microphones. You probably don't need to fear that the National Security Agency is using this strategy on your phone, Janke said. Those spies are focused on hunting down a specified list of terrorists and foreign fighters. But he noted that the FBI is using these kinds of surveillance tactics in the U.S. for all sorts of crimes. Most notably however the FBI has declared literally everyone who voted for Trump to be a terrorist, as well as all Catholics. IBdaMann claims that Gold is a molecule, and that the last ice age never happened because I was not there to see it. The only conclusion that can be drawn from this is that IBdaMann is clearly not using enough LSD.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	You are truly ignorant of hardware and software... When you have a problem with your phone or computer, how often do you need to do anything more than call customer service? Most problems are 'fixed' remotely these days. Only physical damage requires you to take it to a shop, have a technician visit, or send your device somewhere. Updates are frequent, and will usually 'correct' any changes you made, to reduce mis-use of your device. Updates are done over the internet, or your mobile data.

Swan wrote: LOL you are really making an ass of yourself in trying to justify the NSA's crimes. What crimes? You are hallucinating again. Wiretapping is the act of recording communications between parties, often without their consent. While wiretaps can be a powerful tool for authorities conducting criminal investigations, they are also legally at odds with the right to privacy and the constitutional protection against unreasonable search and seizure. The Supreme Court, in Katz v. United States expanded the Fourth Amendment right to cover electronic wiretaps. The case recognized that wiretaps allowed third parties to gain access to the same type of information that one could access had they trespassed on private property. Following the Katz decision, Congress passed the Electronic Communications Privacy Act (ECPA) in 1986. Title I of the ECPA, also known as the Wiretap Act, expressly prohibits the intentional use of wiretaps to intercept or attempt to intercept electronic communications. States also have their own wiretapping acts that mimic the language of the Wiretap Act. For example, New Jersey's wiretapping statute closely resembles the Wiretap Act in prohibiting the interception and disclosure of intercepted communications. As a result of these protections, authorities, such as the attorney general, must receive authorization from a judge of competent jurisdiction to use wiretaps. The application for authorization is required by statute and must include key information such as: (1) the basis for suspecting an offense that warrants the use of a wiretap to investigate further; (2) whether other investigative means have been employed; and (3) the period in which the wiretap would be employed. Unless the persons being wiretapped voted for Trump or are of the Catholic faith, then they are automatically terrorist according to the retards at the FBI One of the most common means of contesting wiretaps and to prevent their evidence from being admitted, is challenging the necessity of the wiretap. For example, the Ninth Circuit has held that the subject of wiretapping had standing to suppress evidence where it was found that wiretapping was not necessary. This finding was justified on the basis that the government failed to show that they had (1) fully utilized other investigative procedures; and (2) that other investigative procedures would be unlikely to succeed, affirming the policy stance that wiretapping should only be used as a last resort when all other means would be insufficient You may now resume choking your chicken IBdaMann claims that Gold is a molecule, and that the last ice age never happened because I was not there to see it.

The companies selected for US2QC are: Atom Computing — Atom is based in Berkeley, California and has an advanced research facility in Boulder, Colorado. In October 2021, Atom unveiled a gate-based 100-qubit quantum computer called Phoenix, which uses an optical array platform based on strontium neutral atom spin qubits. These qubits have an exceptionally long coherence time of about 40 seconds. A second generation machine with more qubits, higher fidelity and advanced features is expected to be announced soon. Microsoft — Microsoft's quantum platform, which so far has no working prototype, is based on highly theoretical topological qubits and Majorana fermions. After early problems with misinterpretation of results, the company has restarted its topological research program. Microsoft recently announced progress and detected a topological gap, an important indicator that the research is on track. PsiQuantum — Based in Palo Alto, California, the company is developing a single photon-based quantum computer. Rather than developing intermediate qubit-sized processors, for its first release PsiQuantum is planning on a million-qubit processor. It is using Global Foundries for fabrication of its CMOS silicon processor. Purposes of the US2QC program DARPA is sponsoring the US2QC program to explore new ways to scale qubit count for larger systems, create additional layers of entanglement connectivity for faster performance and develop a broader set of quantum error correction algorithms for fault tolerance. Specifically, DARPA wants to determine if relatively new quantum technologies such as neutral atom, topological and photonics can be leveraged to develop a fault-tolerant quantum computer within ten years. Although the amount of funding wasn't specified, I expect it will be enough to significantly move the needle for the corporate teams involved, given the program's five-year span and DARPA's $4.1 billion 2023 budget. It is important for the United States to maintain its global lead in quantum computing and be the first to build a fault-tolerant quantum machine. In the DARPA press release, Joe Altepeter, US2QC program manager in DARPA's Defense Sciences Office, helped explain why. He said: "Experts disagree on whether a utility-scale quantum computer based on conventional designs is still decades away or could be achieved much sooner. The goal of US2QC is to reduce the danger of strategic surprise from underexplored quantum computing systems. We put out a call last year saying that if anyone thought they had a truly revolutionary approach to building a useful quantum computer in the near future—less than 10 years—we wanted to hear from them. We offered to collaborate by funding additional experts to join their team and provide rigorous government verification and validation of their proposed solutions to determine its viability. The ultimate outcome of the program is a win-win—for U.S. commercial leadership in this strategically important technology area and for national security to avoid being surprised." Rob Hays, CEO and President of Atom Computing, explained the advantages for Atom in the DARPA program. "It's almost like creating a parallel prototyping roadmap that accelerates the future relative to what we could do on our own without the DARPA partnership," he said. "The partnership comes in the form of dollars to offset our internal costs, and it also provides access to experts from the Defense Department, academia and national labs to help direct us and provide feedback on our results. It's very valuable and we're very honored to be selected to help advance the state of the art."

It was formed with the goal of preventing technological surprises from adversaries, such as when the Soviet Union launched Sputnik, the world's first satellite, allowing it to gain a lead over the United States in space technology. DARPA's mission is to invest in high-risk, high-reward research projects that have potential to revolutionize the military and civilian industries.

DARPA's funding portfolio contains a wide range of research projects, from basic scientific studies to the development of advanced technologies like the Internet, GPS and autonomous vehicles. Besides quantum computing, DARPA continues to invest in emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence and bio-engineering. Roadmap for the US2QC program Moving from the architecture of today's prototype quantum computers to a fault-tolerant architecture requires development of technologies and software that don't yet exist. The DARPA program represents a five-year commitment of funds and resources by both DARPA and the companies participating in the US2QC program to address this challenge. The program was designed with a clear understanding that it is a long-term effort. DARPA has also incorporated a flexible acquisition strategy to fund efforts that are mutually beneficial for both the U.S. Government and for companies that may already be expending significant resources to achieve rapid progress in quantum computing systems. Picture14 Example program structure for a US2QC effort. Blue circles show milestones and arrows show ... [+]DARPA.MIL Phase 0: Each company must present a comprehensive plan for building a fault-tolerant quantum computer. The plan must include the components and subsystems, expected performance and strategies for mitigating technical risks. This plan for this phase should provide enough information to create a research and development roadmap for the prototype. Phase 1: Using the information from Phase 0, the companies must design and construct a fault-tolerant prototype that meets the specifications outlined in the plan. Phase 2: Each company will work with the government team to transition from today's noisy intermediate-stage quantum (NISQ) designs to fault-tolerant designs and to ensure that the new components and subsystems meet the fault-tolerance specifications established in Phase 1. The final design for the prototype must incorporate the measured performance of these components and subsystems. The final machine will have all the elements needed to build a fault-tolerant system—likely not at full size initially, but capable of scaling up over time. Wrapping up The need for the United States and its allies to achieve quantum fault-tolerance before their adversaries is widely acknowledged by experts. Three years ago, I wrote an article titled "Quantum USA Vs. Quantum China: The World's Most Important Technology Race" highlighting the challenges and crucial matters involved. Although the challenges have changed and the funding has increased, those crucial matters remain unchanged. Quantum computing players IBM and Rigetti (superconducting technology) and IonQ and Quantinuum (trapped-ion technology) were not chosen for the DARPA program because they have already made significant investments in their technologies and have viable plans for achieving fault-tolerant machines with high-qubit numbers in the long term. DARPA's long-term funding and resource commitment bring new focus to the three additional technologies of nuclear spin qubits in neutral atoms (Atom Computing), photonic quantum computing (PsiQuantum) and topological quantum (Microsoft). Funding alone can't overcome the difficult physics and engineering challenges of fault-tolerance, but resource collaboration between the government and private companies could reduce the time needed to develop workable solutions. While it's possible that much of the research under this program may not be disclosed, the existence of the program is important to U.S. quantum computing. I anticipate that the program will accelerate the timeline for fault-tolerance, resulting in major progress being achieved in five years instead of the previous prediction of 10. Analyst notes: 1. Of the three companies selected by DARPA, Atom Computing is the only one with a working programable quantum prototype. Its first generation machine consists of 100 nuclear spin qubits in an array of optically-trapped neutral atoms. Its second generation machine is being built at its Boulder, Colorado lab. My estimate is that its next machine will have 300-plus qubits of higher fidelity than its first generation machine. Atom has also published a number of research papers geared toward improving its future-generation machines. Scaling potential and coherence is excellent. Considering these factors, I believe Atom Computing has a two- to three-year lead on the other companies going into the five-year US2QC program. 2. PsiQuantum has made amazing progress with fabrication of its chips. That said, I would be more encouraged about the architecture if PsiQuantum had a working prototype. However, PsiQuantum has made it clear that it is not interested in baby steps; it is planning one giant leap to a million qubits. One component still needed to complete its architecture is an ultra-fast optical switch. Because none are available that fit its needs, the last time I talked to PsiQuantum they were building their own switch. Scaling is also a big plus for this architecture. The DARPA program could provide the resources for the giant leap that the company has been working on. 3. Microsoft's quantum computing research relies on one of the most beautiful quantum theories—but unfortunately, it's based on theoretical Majorana quasiparticles that no one has ever actually detected. That said, Microsoft researchers believe they have recently detected one of the key signatures of these quasiparticles. If it is possible to create a quantum computer with Majorana quasiparticles, my estimate is that it could take another 15 to 20 years. Collaboration with DARPA might shorten the timeframe by a few years. 4. If all three companies complete DARPA's five year US2QC program, there will be no losers. Each company will have accelerated its own program and increased the potential and usefulness of its architecture while advancing the state of the art in quantum computing as a whole. Also, considering the funding and the expansive resources being dedicated to the program by DARPA, I believe there is a good chance that at least one of the companies will indeed produce a fault-tolerant quantum computer.

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	Basically another government handout... Marketing hype doesn't live up to any actual results, and these companies face some serious financial embarrassment if they can't deliver. But, it's a flawed concept. Works on paper, but those damn qubits just won't cooperate in hardware attempts. "These qubits have an exceptionally long coherence time of about 40 seconds." Wow, a quantum leap, from milliseconds of previous attempts...

HarveyH55★★★★★ (5197)	What is private communications? You have to 'trust' that the people working around the communication, will 'respect' you 'right' to privacy, and not listen in. You need a low IQ to believe that you can trust complete strangers, or anyone, for that matter, with sensitive matters you don't want shared. Some people spend a lot of time and money on encryption, to ensure privacy in their communications. There's an app for that... Then, there are people, who spend a lot of time and money to get around the encryption, since there must be a reason, and something of value being hidden. Sometimes, defeating doesn't have to be better hardware, or software. Swan wonders why the NSA would monitor/record children's phone calls... Kids don't know what is suppose to be private, or who they can trust. Sometimes they get pissed off with their parents, and vent to a 'friend', giving up some 'private' details. Daddy's business phone might have additional encryption, but not family and friends.
