“The Infrastructure For An Orwellian Police State”

We’re fine with the government tapping our phones, because we don’t conduct much damning business telephonically. But, the government reading our internet, that’s another matter. We look at a lot of weird crap on the internet for, um, research purposes, and it disturbs us that some weird NSA dude knows about it, because he is probably not as open-minded as us. Wired has published the full text of a whistle-blower’s claims that the NSA just puts little men in little closets right inside your internet providers headquarters to check up on the websites you visit. This could be especially embarrassing for you in you live in Elmhurst, Illinois. Honestly, this needs to stop. No one should be looking over our shoulder at what’s on our browser.

For the record, we thought about it, and we are not fine with the government tapping our phones.
