"A new push to encrypt email, keeping messages free from government snooping, is gaining momentum." 

Finally something is being changed and large browsing companies are standing up to the NSA and others. 

"A major catalyst for email encryption were revelations about widespread online surveillance in documents leaked by Edward Snowden, the former National Security Agency contractor."

This shows that the "traitor" Edward Snowden has done exactly what he wanted to achieve. In a very responsible and mature way he has managed the world online to begin to change the way they treat privacy. He alone has done this, the actions of one man. 

This is a huge stepping stone when it comes to privacy and as I have been saying for months a very neccisary one. It was a long time coming but we are finally getting to a place were peoples privacy online is starting to be respected.  

Laws in Germany have now been changed to try and stop the tide of digital information going to the NSA. 

But not only is the encrytion going to be a good thing, it is going to be easy for email users and internet users worldwide. "Our vision is to make encryption and privacy mainstream by making it easy to use," Stockman told AFP. "There's no installation. Everything happens behind the scenes automatically." This means that it will just be like writing a normal email, exept now you don't have to worry about it going into the wrong hands. 

"The MPs say the current system was designed in a pre-internet age when a person's word was accepted without question. "It is designed to scrutinise the work of George Smiley, not the 21st-century reality of the security and intelligence services," said committee chairman, Keith Vaz. "The agencies are at the cutting edge of sophistication and are owed an equally refined system of democratic scrutiny. It is an embarrassing indictment of our system that some in the media felt compelled to publish leaked information to ensure that matters were heard in parliament.""

In the light of all the Snowden discoveries, we have found out many secrets about security agencies, and by all means this article shows that it is not just America, and the fact that it is in England and very real also. This can not be the case, and the change must start in America, where the issue of privacy was first uncovered, and Obama making talking about the NSA's private dealings punishable is just a step in the wrong direction. There needs to be some sort of overhaul of personnel, there needs to be some change in organization, but there is not such thing. Despite the public uproar no policies have been changed and no one is doing anything to change any of that. The change is well overdue and it should happen. 
  

I know I have been complaining about the NSA a lot recently, and that may make some people angry. Don't get me wrong the NSA are not the only people spying and destroying our personal privacy, but they are the most ignorant (they are the most hypocritical, and they are the only ones who have managed to get found out on a global scale); that is why i complain about them, the hypocrisy and the fact that in America a organisation like the NSA can exist.

"Germany’s Chancellor Merkel is in the White House for the first time since it was revealed the NSA monitored her personal communications. During bilateral talks with Barack Obama, Merkel is expected to broach sanctions on Russia and US spying."

Barack Obama will be confronted by the German Chancellor about hacking her phone in the days to come and I am just interested how they are going to prove the hacking of Merkel's mobile telephone was legitimate and was an actual threat to america via probable cause... the answer is they cannot prove that she actually threatened america...... so why? Not that it is just the NSA as you can see the russians are also very involved in spying, the the americans are just get caught more, due to incompetence.  

The one piece of news that I have actually thought that the NSA are taking a step in the right direction was this 
"I tell the [NSA] workforce out there as the new guy, let’s be honest with each other, the nation has lost a measure of trust in us," -Admiral Michael Rogers

It is at time like these when i think that it is indeed possible for the NSA to change but then I take a look at all the things that we know about them and all the steps that they are not taking to improve. Yeah the NSA says things, but they don't care about the individuals, they just want nothing you do to be private anymore, and that is why their an organization that has to be stopped. 

It has been a while since I have written about the wrongs being commited under the cover of protecting us, but once again I am here to shine the light on what is in fact actually going on. 

Ok, Ok, lets get started with the first rediculous statement said by top NSA officials. The former CEO of the NSA said that the Snowden leaks "significant disservice to the worldwide health of the Internet.". Are you serious? Seriously Mr ex CEO of a legal spying company? In the internet you rarely here of people being this stupid, the real thing that id a disservice to the worldwide health of the Internet was the spying on innocent people illegally by the government, thats what was a "disservice". What the Smug Ex NSA CEO does not tell you is that the NSA went through back doors with companies so that they could stockpile personal information, and yet America is the land of the "free". 

America spies on innocent people and even its allies and wonders why people are slow to forgive them, Merkel's spokesman, Steffen Seibert, noted Friday that she has said the issue of NSA surveillance can't be resolved with one visit and so "concrete results in this area can't be expected".  The american government is so naive that instead of listening to what snowden has to say and realising that the NSA is unconstitutional everyone seems to want to be talking about how it "helped the terrorists". Why can't we realize that he did this not to help terrorist, but to show us that the government is violating our rights, isn't that just as important. Well not to Hillary Clinton apparently, who does not give a single damn about the american citizens rights. America Land of the free.  

Google makes NSA look good!
In an Attempt to try and stop the NSA from spying on the private emails. Google an establishment not famed for its security of clients is trying to stop people spying on private information. This makes one realize that believe it or not google is the lesser of two evils in this situation, as surprising as it sounds it is true. "All messages sent and received through Gmail are now encrypted, making them extremely difficult to intercept" (mail online) 
How can we defend an organisation when even google are taking precautions to try and stop the NSA and their online spying obsession. 

This is how we treat the innocent people of America and in fact the world. A whole society based on mistrust and no privacy. "Move follows revelations in documents leaked last year by Edward Snowden that spy agency can look at private messages"

"Reports have indicated that the NSA was hacking into fiber optic cables used by tech companies to send data to and from data servers scattered around. The trouble is that the data sent through these cables is usually not encrypted, which allowed NSA spies easy access to the information being sent."
Why is it that after all this time and complaining about the unconstitutionality of the NSA and how spying on innocent people is wrong they are still doing it TODAY, RIGHT this SECOND! How is it that although people are complaining nothing is being done to try and stop the NSA. Why is no one taking any notice of this and trying to stop it? "The National Security Agency has defended its work against Edward Snowden's allegations - but also pledged more transparency about its work" 

The Agency defends its work? How can it defend its work? If they want to have more transparency how come we still don't know what they are doing, and saying they are doing it for national security can be said to almost anything, doesn't mean it justifies taking away the liberties of innocent people.
