Secret Room Holds the Key to the Battles From the Wild Frontier of Cyber Space
This is a logo designed for Electronic Frontier Foundation (http://eff.org./cases/jewel) in their current legal battle. Note how the head phones on the eagle allow the bird to listen to the noise of Cyber Space, while the claws hold numerous cables, which run through a secret room, controlled by NSA.
Acting on behalf of AT&T clients, Electronic Frontier Foundation is prepared to take on the giants of the United States in Jewel versus NSA.
The US Congress passed legislation earlier this year, allowing telecommunication firms to be exempt from lawsuits involving spying. This had allowed the case against AT&T to become bogged down in the Federal Court. In an effort to rise past this, EFF opened a second front of attack by demanding those who authorized, or have participated for years in a fishing expedition, to be held answerable. There has been an ongoing warrantless dragnet which has been used to survey millions of ordinary Americans' emails. All communications and communication records of Internet Traffic are copied and funneled to a secret room in San Francisco, controlled by NSA.
While absolutely denying the existence of the dragnet, U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey asked a Federal Judge for immunity for the communication companies.
The prosecution list includes President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Chief of Staff David Addington, former Attorney General and White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales and others, as well as NSA.
Internet Service Providers, however, carry their users' conversations, secrets, relationships, acts, and omissions. Until recently they left most of the spy business untouched, because they had lacked the tools to spy invasively. Now, with recent advances in eavesdropping technology, they can spy on people, in unprecedented ways.
Advertisers and copyright owners have been tempting them to put their users' secrets up for sale, and judging from a recent flurry of reports ISPs are giving in to the temptation and experimenting with new forms of spying. This may only be the leading edge of a coming storm of extraordinary and omnipresent ISP surveillance.
How can governments continue to protect themselves and their citizens from repeat attacks form of terrorist, such as September 11, without being thought to simply be overzealous sticky beaks? Gone are the days when you believe you can trust people. Everyone is out for themselves.
Founded in 1990, the watch dog Electronic Frontier Foundation, has a Google page ranking of 7. As the continuing drama unfolds in the courtrooms, it will be well worth keeping an eye on this site. However, after reading all this, it's easy to comprehend why more and more people are aiming to get out of the Rat Race. Some even aiming to move to a slower paced life of places like the adventure travel destination of the tropical islands of Vanuatu, in the South Pacific.
