New Snowden Documents Show NSA Deemed Google Networks a "Target"

The 13-minute news segment focused on the revelation that, according to the leaked files, the NSA apparently targeted Brazil's state-run Petrobras oil producer for surveillance—undermining a recent statement by the agency that it “does not engage in economic espionage in any domain.”

Perhaps big business, afraid of losing intellectual property and trade secrets, will be the downfall of the NSA.

I would think big US companies don't care about US spying.

However big US tech companies probably care that they will lose billions in sales abroad:

It's only crime if it's committed by those who are not in charge.

It is illegal under the highest law of our land, the Constitution. We need to start enforcing that law again with criminal prosecutions.

Lol...since when did the constitution matter? Money is the highest law of our land!

you mean counter-espionage and counter-cyperterrorism...

when criminals / terrorists started using the internet, libs like you looked the other way.. when law enforcement started loging on and arresting them for crimes you call it crimes.

laughable... i guess you wouldnt allow highway patrols either to stop speeders and narco-runners.

You gotta hand it to journalist.. the article should point out why its better to build
telecom products in the USA and not in China. Just another toxic product coming out of China.

Your better off having the NSA stopping state sponsored hackers in North Korea, Iran, China, Russia and other unfriendly nations than allowing these to continue to exist.

As i said a few months now, USA made telecom may be more expensive but at least it wont be hacked.

Where you and I differ is that I would advocate changing that.

I actively advocated changing that for 30 years by being involved in the election process as a volunteer and party supporter. Then George Bush got elected. This made me realize that there was no hope whatsoever, the system is broken and the unstoppable course of decay just has to work it's way through until some major event resets the system. I do hold other citizenships now just in case things really go to crap fast and I have to bail totally.

Remind me much time you've spent trying to make change? Running you mouth on patnet doesn't count.

So would everyone. But how will that ever happen? Everybody likes money!
