"Lawful Spying" Price Lists Leaked

Posted by Soulskill on from the reading-your-terrible-manga-poetry-on-the-cheap dept.

ogaraf writes "Wired has a story about how the site Cryptome.org leaked the price lists for 'lawful spying' activities of Yahoo and other companies, and subsequently received a DMCA takedown notice from Yahoo. The documents, however, are still posted online, and in them you can learn, for instance, that IP logs last for one year, but the original IPs used to create accounts have been kept since 1999. The contents of your Yahoo account are bought for $30 to $40 by law enforcement agencies."

    I hate corporations. I hate them with every fiber of my being.

    And I've got to wonder how you make a living. With such a high ID, though, I've got to wonder if you still live w/ Mom and Dad, or are maybe in that fantasy world known as University.

    Some of us have brains and skills to not need corporations. Looks like you're not one of those gifted talented and smart people, now are you, you condescending piece of shit?

  3. You prefer an unstable government? by ShinmaWa · · Score: 1, Troll

    Yes... two centuries of a stable government has provided among the highest standards of living and opportunity, but you'd rather throw that away for a government that gets bloodily overthrown every few years such as the paradises that are Afghanistan... and Somalia... and Haiti.....

    You, sir, are a complete moron who has no idea how nice you have it and how bad unstable governments really are.
