>Earlier this week, Donald Trump won a stunning election victory that will put him in charge of the world’s most powerful mass surveillance infrastructure. Trump’s control over the NSA is now an indisputable fact, and we think it is worth taking a closer look at what this means.
>Due to the way the US government is structured, President Trump will have a large amount of control over the NSA. The NSA is not different from any other federal agency which the president controls. The US president will be able to dictate how the agency operates through his power to appoint the NSA Director. The NSA Director needs to be confirmed through majority vote by the US Senate, but due to Republican control over the Senate, President Trump will have complete freedom to appoint anyone he wants to carry out his orders.
>Since Trump’s victory, the number of new users coming to ProtonMail has doubled compared to the previous week. Many of our new users have voiced a few common concerns both on Twitter and also in emails to us. Given Trump’s campaign rhetoric against journalists, political enemies, immigrants, and Muslims, there is concern that Trump could use the new tools at his disposal to target certain groups. As the NSA currently operates completely out of the public eye with very little legal oversight, all of this could be done in secret.
>All things considered, there is no denying that President Trump would have broad powers to re-shape the US surveillance apparatus to serve his agenda. Silicon Valley giants like Google and Facebook can be forced to spy on users on behalf of Trump’s NSA.
>Google and Facebook can be forced to spy on users But they already were user. Maybe not even forced but they were doing so willingly.

lol good one

I hope he enjoys my taste in tranny porn. I surely will think about him while fapping one.
Michael Reyes
Sure, but now that an actually evil person is ahead of government, that becomes a much more serious concern. That could be used to leverage oppressive extremist actions against minorities like Muslims or Hispanics. Trump might become literally Hitler with actual concentration camps.

They're going to spy on you no matter who's in charge or what anyone tells you

Trump might be a womanizer but he isn't evil.

right, which is why if you speak out against islam on, say, facebook, you're thrown in a cell over there.
Matthew Gonzalez
>Thanks, obama.
Obama didn't create the program, you numbnuts. He only allowed it to continue, as pretty much any Republican or Democratic president would have.
You can thank Bush for the Patriot Act.
Alexander Cooper
He's a literal rapist and a bigot.
Maybe Hillary would spy on us, but not with the intent to persecute people based on ethnicity or religion.
Tyler Jenkins
clearly you dont. nazism was a logical response to socialist jews literally starting a civil war after ww1 which completely crippled the country to the point where people were willing to voluntarily seed power to a meth using dictator.

Good thing as far as persecuting people based on ethnicity or religion**
Just to clarify
Brody Robinson

Nathaniel Campbell
Neither will Trump you fucknugget.
Trump literally does not give a single fuck about what race or religion you are, he just wants to control who comes into the country. That's all he ever said about race and religion.
Cameron Anderson

Trump is the evil person? lol >not hillary Yeah alright mate, go on fapping to gays and trannys
Mason Sullivan
>implying Facebook wasn't banning people for thought crime
Go to a fundamentalist Christian-dominated forum and post a liberal opinion, then see what happens.
Let's be perfectly clear that people are persecuted for political and religious opinions all across the spectrum. Facebook is shit, but so is virtually every other social media platform, most certainly including the conservative-minded ones. There are even dating sites that restrict registrants' gender preference, and ban anyone who puts "man seeking man" in their profiles.
Julian Cruz
Boo hoo the wealthy privileged white boy's gonna cry because he was forced to seat next to a negroe on the airplane. That's literally 9/11 all over again, right?

Still thinks Trump hates anyone, lolol He loves Russia, he loves women, he loves the world.
Does god hate you when makes you pay for your sins? No, he is only doing justice.
There is no hate. You say this about trump, but it's not true.

Caleb Ortiz
>all this discussion about Hillary vs Trump and which is worse Isn't it rather telling about the state of the US that you guys consider people like Trump and Hillary as the best choices for president (seeing as they're the ones who won the primaries) and still talk about them in the context of which would be worse?
Josiah Carter
This is a tech thread, you stupid derailer.
Elijah Hughes
I don't have anything against different cultures, as long as they don't destroy other cultures.
I was talking about exposing the criminal acts of the government which damages the freedom of people.
As Trump is not a criminal, I think I will come along well with him.
Benjamin Scott
> Comey made Hillary lose
you dumb nigger, this was literally a 720 noscope suicide headshot on the part of the DNC in trying to cheat their favorite (and broadly detested) candidate through the primaries and intentionally getting a demagogue the nomination on the other side.
the wikileaks dumps involving dozens of highly placed "journalists" and editors have already shown this, and it's only collective ignorance that's kept people like Wolf Blitzer out of jail so far.
Adrian Phillips
None of your business

Then be consistent and be against white "culture", which destroyed Native-American and African cultures, amongst many others...

holy shit what kind of sheltered worldview do you have?
Austin Lewis
Well, damage is already done. But you are right, they should apologize to the natives, in some way. But what does it help now to further drive the train against the wall?
I believe USA is some kind of babylon, but there are white people who are christians and inhabit good values.
If a nation fucked up in the past, why fuck it up even further? I'm for protecting all culturse. Native-Americans, Whites, Africans.

Yeah you are right, media did a really bad job, they should show even more how great and honest hillary is and how bad of a pussygraber Trump is.

Your media manipulation lost. Your twisted witch candidate lost. You lost.
Go on, give me a delicious (You) again, I'll wait. I had to stop myself from hysterically laughing on Facebook at all the tears while I said nothing so they keep me added for more tears.
As far as the NSA goes under Trump, he can only do so much against the game. Good privacy practices should be kept to the user as usual, not expecting the government to hold your hand since no doubt they'll fuck you over too.

I have to unfuck my life. If I'm the man I want to be, then a women will come which will fit my life, and I will fit hers.
Fucked up men get fucked up women.
Men who behave like women will get women who behave like men etc...
Hillary wants war, so she wants to kill people -> evil She is lying -> evil She hides her lies and trys to look superficialy good, so more lies -> evil (But idiots fall for it)
