re: #243 lawhawk

The millions are supposition. They keep changing the numbers around, without any context. And how many computers are there worldwide? Billions? Currently they claim that the NSA has tagged 85,000 to 100,000 computers for their efforts, but want to scale that up.

As if trying to gain intel on foreign countries is a bad thing. Or that no one else is doing this? It’s again a combination of sensationalism, paranoia, and naivete to think that only the NSA does this, or that we shouldn’t be doing this at all.

I will note here that anything NSA is purportedly doing to computers abroad, the Chinese and Russians (among others) already do to computers within their own borders. Yet, GG & Co. are surprisingly silent about it.
