Why the fuck did you put a blind document download link to nsa.gov? Can't give a warning to people before they click the link that you going to download a document from the NSA when you click the link? Fuck man

Well, it does say it is declassified and sorted under public info. Can't be that bad right?

That's what the lizardmen want you to think.

You see the link at the end of the title? The one that says NSA.GOV?

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

Yes I did, I was expecting to go to the website and read the file, not have it automatically downloaded on my computer.

Maybe you should set your browser to ask you what to do with incoming files instead of having it automatically download? Just a thought.

Also, one wouldn't need you to download a file to put malware on your machine haha. Just assume everything about you is already known man, go from there because there's a very good chance it already is.

No, that's a good thought. I was actually on my tablet at the time I clicked the link, which doesn't have the ability in native Samsung browser that I've found, to ask what to do before downloading the file.

Just assume everything about you is already known man, go from there because there's a very good chance it already is.

That's not what bothers me actually. If they truly have the capabilities which Edward Pysop Snowden leaked, then you're right, they know everything already. I just think linking to a file on the NSA website in this particular sub without giving any warning, is terrible idea. OP should have least alerted to the fact that the link was to a downloadable file, or better yet, linked to a cached version, or copied and pasted the text from the file into the post itself.

This is how I would have done it if I were posting the same information here.

Anything that you receive from another server is downloaded to your computer. It's just a question of whether it goes in a temporary files directory or somewhere else.

I feel like if you're technologically savvy enough to recognize that's an issue, you would take precautions?

[–]IstvaanShogaatsu 4ポイント5ポイント  (27子コメント)

It doesn't really matter where you download a thing from; the NSA will know regardless.

[–]at_work919 4ポイント5ポイント  (26子コメント)

yeah but just going to their site probably bumps you up a level or two at least. I would have appreciated more of a warning.

[–]jonesRG 7ポイント8ポイント  (20子コメント)

If you're so concerned about NSA putting you on a list because you visited their website, why aren't you on a VPN behind a dozen proxies and shit?

The warning is in the title section > "nsa.gov"...

What? Firstly, why would merely visiting the website of a government organization which we fund through our tax money raise any suspicious about us?

Secondly, a level or two? Please do tell me what system you think they are tracking people on, and what else a person might do that may "bump them up" a "level or two"?

I would have appreciated more of a warning.

A warning for what?

I REALLY hate having to say thing, but are you actually delusional?

If the government actually thinks you're any form of a real threat, you will know.

Michael Hastings found out real fast when they killed him as soon as he let on that he was going to break a huge story.

Bill Cooper knew he was a threat and was promptly dealt with after having revealed how the government was going to blame 9/11 on Osama Bin Laden before 9/11 happened. They killed him, because he was an actual threat.

You? You're some person who's on the internet who is being ridiculously paranoid about the NSA and how the government operates.

You're not a threat, and again, if you actually are, they already know about you, and how to stop you before you can even begin.

So calm down, and stop being stupidly paranoid. You can visit the NSA website all day long, you'll be fine.

Lol good question. A better question is.. why would merely existing in this country and funding a government organization with our tax money raise any suspicions about us? Because they're collecting data on all of us. I don't care if you're good or bad. It's indiscriminate collection based on keywords, not on what kind of person is behind the keyboard. Paranoia is irrelevant. I'd imagine if you push the boundaries enough, that's when your case gets highlighted and your priority raised.

Secondly, a level or two? Please do tell me what system you think they are tracking people on, and what else a person might do that may "bump them up" a "level or two"?

If you don't believe they tier their suspects based on level of importance you might be the one who is delusional. How else would a massive surveillance apparatus like that function? They'd need to prioritize certain people over others in order to give the system utility.

Exactly, so I don't know why this person is freaking out so much. Either you are an actual threat and have left behind an electronic trail which lets them know, or you are not a threat and the government doesn't care about you in that capacity.

Also if you don't believe they tier their suspects based on level of importance you might be the one who is delusional.

Did I allege that? No, I didn't.

I don't know, that is why I asked the questions which I asked.

Wow, you just wasted a whole lot of energy... and you're telling ME to calm down? I say wasted because I'm not interested in having this debate with you. If you don't get it yet, you probably will soon enough.

[–]dsprox 0ポイント1ポイント  (0子コメント)

Wow, you just wasted a whole lot of energy...

You can't make that as a quantitative statement.

and you're telling ME to calm down?

Yes, and now I also have to tell you to stop trying to turn the tables, especially when you're hardly even trying.

I say wasted because I'm not interested in having this debate with you.

Clearly you're not very invested in having any form of a debate with anybody.

If you don't get it yet, you probably will soon enough.

Get what? Try being less cryptic, so that people know what you are speaking about.

Why the fuck did you put a blind document download link to nsa.gov?

Firstly, nothing about the link is a "blind download", as it directly states at the end of the link submission ( nsa.gov ) and if you hover over the link, it reveals an address which is a .pdf .

Secondly, what's the problem with them linking to a .pdf page?

Thirdly, look at the rest of this link.

nsa.gov/public_info

PUBLIC INFO, as in information which we readily put on our website for the public to be able to view.

So again, what does it matter that this link is to a publicly available file on the NSA website, a website that exists purely because of our tax money which funds their organization?

TL;DR - Why are you freaking out like a psychopath over nothing? It's like you're purposely acting ridiculous in an attempt to marginalize members of this sub as being insanely paranoid about anything relating to the NSA, as if merely going to their website is going to have them knocking on your door.

Yes. It. Does. Why don't you use an Android and click the link again and see what happens. It automatically downloads the .pdf file without any warning whatsoever. Your other comments are too ridiculous for me to respond to, lol.

I just wanted to warn anyone who's on an Android not to click the link if they didn't want a file from the NSA downloaded to their phone or tablet. I don't think that's "freaking out like a pyschopath" lol.

[–]dsprox -1ポイント0ポイント  (0子コメント)

Yes. It. Does.

Yes what does? There is absolutely no context behind that statement for me to able to understand what from my post that you quoted it is supposed to be referencing.

This is what happens when you type in anger and don't calm down and stop to proof read what you type before you post it.

Yes it does? Yes WHAT does? What are you talking about?

Why don't you use an Android and click the link again and see what happens.

Oh, I think I get it know. You're saying "Yes it does" as in "Yes it does automatically download", but under the condition that you are using an android device.

Your other comments are too ridiculous for me to respond to, lol.

No, they're not, and that's a cop out. You can't even cite them to prove your claim of them being "ridiculous", thus you are using a pathetic excuse to dodge addressing those points I have made. Nice try, but this isn't kindergarten. You should know who you're speaking with here.

I just wanted to warn anyone who's on an Android not to click the link if they didn't want a file from the NSA downloaded to their phone or tablet.

Two questions then.

  1. Why didn't you specify that it was explicitly for Android in your original post?

Here's your original post, with nothing about android in it:

Why the fuck did you put a blind document download link to nsa.gov? Can't give a warning to people before they click the link that you going to download a document from the NSA when you click the link? Fuck man

  1. What does it matter that the file is "from" the NSA? It's a pdf.

I just wanted to warn anyone who's on an Android not to click the link if they didn't want a file from the NSA downloaded to their phone or tablet. I don't think that's "freaking out like a pyschopath" lol.

Psychopath may have been too hyperbolic, but you did not post any form of a reasonable or rational comment.
