so uh article, no outrage that this can even be done by the NSA?
Well, no because the story is so obviously fake that no one but the most credulous of suckers could fall for it.
well I’ll admit to not really digging deep while taking a shit but is this a joke or not?
I mean yea but this literally proves what people have been saying, that it would be super easy to abuse
It’s made headlines at least twice before, it’s nothing new. That said, I think this was written in jest.
And this, boys and girls, is a good enough reason to not digitize your willy or cooter, no matter how much you think it’ll get you laid.
Government databases getting misused for personal motives is actually pretty common.
AP did a report on this back in 2016 and while public records on this are fairly limited, they still found about 300 cases of database abuse from 2013 through 2015.
We all know is fake when you see the name “Hillary Wank” but unfortunately there are a lot of people who believe everything they see on the internet.
Sixteen million, really?.. All shapes, colors and sizes, cut and uncut. 😜
If she’s that into dick pics, let us know where they’re sending her and we can try and double that 16M. All printed and mailed to her. Imagine the state of the mail service at the prison when they have to sift through a thousand sacks of Polaroids every day.

How did this take place? Her security clearance let’s her download pics from computers and mobile phones just like that?
So they are admitting there are back doors in phones and operating systems?
Doesn’t seem likely they would admit that much.
So many idiots deep diving this… it is from the onion- they make parody news. It’s not real.
I mean, it’s been a well known fact that the NSA has been intercepting and logging all domestic internet/mobile traffic since Snowden. I bet there are over 16m dick pics sent in the US on a daily basis.
I know but I think the general public doesn’t know or understand this. It’s still not exactly admitted as a general thing how this works. Apple and other companies usually talk about how they are resisting to give out access etc.
But yeah, nsa can probably access all windows and Mac systems. I don’t think Linux though. Not counting Intel Management Engine in the cpu.
Linux is where a lot of the actually interesting stuff is, so I highly doubt they don’t have a bag of exploits for that.
A lot of that info was known over a year before that even. Wired did a cover story that apparently got no attention from anyone but me… https://www.wired.com/2012/03/ff-nsadatacenter/
I remember another story as well, where the journalist actually walked up the hill that blocked the view of the facility and saw the construction. It had about the same focus, but didn’t go into as much detail on the computing side of the NSA, just their storage capabilities.
The knowledge that a government agency is recording everything is one of those existential horrors that slowly fades and just quietly lurks in your mind, hidden beneath the daily struggles and interests.
