So much for Snowden's revelations about PRISM. All that digital surveilance and yet they don't catch the pedos and traffickers with it. Curious.
Well yeah, he's probably on a filterlist at NSA so his emails were not logged.
Same thing happened to the Labour adjustments to the review on dragnet surveilance in the UK. They just added "Union members can't be tracked" instead of fucking doing something decent.
And we're seeing how the current Labour party in power is behaving regarding this; by having had Peter "Epstein is my great friend" Mandelson in positions of power until people started to care too much.
Or maybe not so curious...
@okwhateverdude @SirHaxalot The billionaires have the whole surveillance thing in their pockets. I mean the whole shebang, Five Eyes and everything.
