Do You Like Online Privacy? You May Be a Terrorist!

"A flyer designed by the FBI and the Department of Justice to promote suspicious activity reporting in internet cafes lists basic tools used for online privacy as potential signs of terrorist activity. The document, part of a program called 'Communities Against Terrorism,' lists the use of 'anonymizers, portals, or other means to shield IP address' as a sign that a person could be engaged in or supporting terrorist activity. The use of encryption is also listed as a suspicious activity along with steganography, the practice of using 'software to hide encrypted data in digital photos' or other media. In fact, the flyer recommends that anyone 'overly concerned about privacy' or attempting to 'shield the screen from view of others' should be considered suspicious and potentially engaged in terrorist activities. ... The use of PGP, VPNs, Tor or any of the many other technologies for anonymity and privacy online are directly targeted by the flyer, which is distributed to businesses in an effort to promote the reporting of these activities."

But but I dont need Privacy, I dont do anything wrong! Wrong and Right are Subjective Terms, and your idea of Right and Wrong is definitely not the same as those who Judge you.

Support Ron Paul? You are a Terrorist! Take Vitamins? You are a Terrorist! Think Forced Vaccinations are bad? You are a Terrorist! You can be Judged as a Terrorist at pretty much any moment of your life, whether you like it or not, and the Burden of Innocence is on you, not the Burden of Guilt being on your Accuser. That means your own personal safety is comprimised by the lack of Privacy, it has nothing to do with Right and Wrong, it has everything to do with controlling you.

Da hell? VPNs a tool of terrorism? Either those responsible for this are a bunch of ignorant, power-hungry idiots, or they are purposely trying to be malicious. VPNs are for BASIC SECURITY to defend against a drive-by attack in public cafes!

Any other news sources? Just so I know this is reliable.

I'm not pissed at the FBI, I'm pissed with the people who advocate against privacy by saying "if you are not guilty, you have nothing to hide".

I like both piracy and privacy.

My source was slashdot, and I dont always copy over the embedded links when I post news stories. There are probably a couple of links citing their references on the slashdot link I provided.

I prefer to be called a Patriot. It has the same number of syllables. I can see how they could have confused the two.

America has "Terrorists". The Soviet Union had "Counter-Revolutionaries". Oceania had "Emmanuel Goldstein".

Hah...RiseAgainst....we're both channeling Orwell...

I am no terrorists, I am a freedom fighter!!

[DamianTV]

The very term 'Terrorist' has become Subjective to the person making the arrest. There in lies the real danger.

Anyone ever noticed the parallels between the Jewish name being used as the protagonist in 1984, and the implications of the Globalists all supposedly being Zionists? It's sort of like the whole thing was planning to have a scapegoat from the beginning.
