Anything left from from good 'ol USA? Yes I forgot. Numerous 3 letter agencies, cameras, police, security forces in kindergartens, schools and grocery stores, private prisons with largest population in it.
All it takes is 1% of surviving owners placed within state or federal structures. And you don't have too look very far. Just look at prominent politicians from South Carolina and their beliefs. Somehow slavery legacy still lives on. Since physical enslavement is almost impossible, there is wide acceptance or perhaps general ignorance for various forms of enslaving fellow humans.
Are you surprised to see complete disrespect of privacy laws?
Too many previous slave owners and their descendants still lives and have say in politics. It was serious error by US population not to charge them with crimes and let them keep the wealth acquired by using slave labor. Today that money are being used heavily in politics to induce laws to enslave people's digital lives and treat us like objects: credit agencies, info-search databases, social security numbers etc. Privacy is treated as something that can be converted to dollar figure.
This "slavery mentality" must change or eliminated before we can talk about keeping our lives private.
Avoid, avoid, avoid. What can you expect in USA: - get shot - being imprisoned - become slave - minimum wage worker Some people just never learn tricks of regimes or go ahead and live your "American Nightmare"
WTF is point of this article? So many details, stories about asking for court order when it was reported that agency ignored 1000 times similar requests in the past.
Iran is bad so drums get louder and louder again. So pathetic.
For that size? 4 Programmers??? Fire 2 developers and hire 1 temp for occasional network staff. I know Network Admins that manage 1000-5000 workstations. Easily.
Imagine how hard Google, Cisco, M$ and others must be pressed to put backdoors in their products. It's like having "swiss cheese" of networking, so many holes.
How nice is to have private bank's cartel that prints and prints the money like there is no tomorrow. Stocks up, profit up, US people deeper and deeper in debt. Perpetuum mobile for Wall Street.
New trend. Junior and medium IT positions are being replaced by students doing internships or minimum wage apprenticeship. I noticed that working for US and UK companies. Suddenly everybody wants to hire people fresh out of college or even before graduation. Older workers are too expensive. It doesn't matter if this cause some hiccups for company, balance sheet is more important.
Not going to happen. After replacing official slavery with economic one, group of American oligarchs is O.K. with the current status quo. This type of mentality is still strong, their success depends on suffering others, in order to win some have to lose. Don't expect CEO's to give up any gains, their families, often previous slave owners raised them to keep wealth within "trusted" circle .
We just learned from the press that targets and directions come from agency. So, typical of government - create a project - fund it - find a disposable hacker to perform the "attack" - report success - ask for more money and staff
Most of big corporations are infiltrated with criminals wearing executive suits. And I'm tired of excuses, "it's legal because our lobbying arm wrote the legislation and paid the right people to pass it" Criminal is criminal! No matter how many laws are passed. We all pay the price when money is constantly siphoned and siphoned to private corporations by governments sitting deeper and deeper in debt.
Wishful thinking on the part of China. U.S economy is based on military industry well-being. What they suppose to do with warehouses full of weapons?
Notice the constant pressure by administrations to invade country after country to unload those bombs. Recent Syria events are not helping either, warehouses are overflowing and we can be sure they will find a new target.
I'm so tired of using "terrorist" argument and then, when we give them what they want, they turn around and use new powers on own citizens or to oppress members of minor political parties.
Russia becomes USA err. USA beats Russia in oil production, as police country nr. 1, security forces everyhere, shoot and ask questions later... full totalitarian state.
Encryption algorithms are created by security forces. Most data in the U.S.A is manipulated to serve government propaganda of success. Just look at unemployment, inflation etc, methods of calculations to see how it changed in the last 20-30 years.
Absolutely right and on topic. "Legal" became very fashionable word for various organized crime rings within governments around the world.
"The law" turned into another business venue which can be stretched to some shady organization or group of people liking. Add media ownership to that mix and any passages from the Constitution are not worth more than toilet paper.
And who said they are wasting resources. While at, it let's pick up some foreign patents, technologies, trade secrets, contract bids and anything that destroys overseas companies.. Surprise, surprise. That technology you worked for the last 4 years, has been just patented by some start-up in California.
Thank you Mister! You are a true American patriot.

Recruiters are waste of time. They have nothing to offer and only collecting resumes.

Mod parent up.
4 programmers for company of that size, it is a joke. 1 programmer + 1 IT with extra work outsourced as needed.

Last year they banned Huawei over "spying concerns" from using their equipment in U.S market.
Thanks God, "Five Eyes" countries are "spying free" and protect us from "bad" Chinese.

What this world has come to...
What's today is being considered "legal" by the current regime, tomorrow might be serious criminal offense.
Is there anything that can surprise us?
