Glenn Greenwald

Re: Does Privacy Matter?

Great video. Greenwald is very articulate and succinct.

Note the digression though at 11:19 and the snark at the great western religions - his brief reference here reveal both his ignorance of and antipathy toward them and is totally unnecessary and gratuitous

Vino, do you mean to say are you unclear as to why a gay man might have antipathy toward religion, particularly the great and western variety?

Re: Does Privacy Matter?

His presentation on the affects of total surveillance on people's behavior was +1.

would agree - esp interesting was the bit re the zuckmeister's palo alto move (and havent actually seen his latest aquistion(s) but there's a lot NOT being 'noticed' about that) - and as i much as i agree with his POV, it appears that the tack on this is vs the patriot act - which then begs the question:

in these daze of INSTANT round the planet comms - never mind with handheld 'untethered' devices - where how to build the bomb is available via FB(? dont know that it is, but guessing that since just about everything else IS, incl ISIS, you can bet...)
how ELSE is the DOD/NSA supposed to keep an eye on the spooks/kooks/kidkillers and other assorted whackos that have stated LOUD AND CLEAR that their intent IS to take the US out?

my take on this is that FB is likely the greatest threat to privacy thats ever occurred

guess it all comes down to what ones def of IS, is - eh?

and to that i would ask:

WHY is it that his gender ID is EVEN a point of discussion?

It's not. Carry on.

I get what you were saying, Woody.

Re: Does Privacy Matter?

Instinctively I know my privacy matters, but I hadn't contemplated it to the degree to which he so clearly expressed it. Thanks for sharing this video. Loved it!
