Ugh....you realize that most of what they are talking about is "fair use" of said public platform. If a government thinks there is a plot being hatched on a public message board, they are free to register and attempt to monitor said plot (i.e. nothing nefarious there). Same with social networks and gaming networks like PSN and Xbox Live. They are free to register and "friend", "chat", "game with", etc. with whom they please to get intelligence data (i.e. these are "public" networks with no expectation of privacy). It's similar to going to a bar and chatting up somebody for intel or overhearing said intel in that public place. Now, if the government was "illegally" accessing Xbox Live messages between users without a warrant (text and/or voice) or intercepting Kinect information, that would be another thing entirely. The key is what exactly was accessed and if there was a warrant. If there was a warrant in place, then Microsoft has to comply (as do all other companies operating in the US). If there wasn't a warrant, then yeah, rage away!!!

EDIT: LOL, nice topic change :bang:

OP changed the topic name and contents of the post probably just before I hit submit. Original content was an article about "Government syping" through message boards and social/gaming networks.

I am certain the OP did no such thing. The NSA has merely corrected some minor typographical errors in what was posted for everyone's convenience. For more information, please blink three times and an agent will be dispatched immediately.
