My Comment:
Tor is a web browser that makes it mostly impossible to track. I'm kinda glad that i never used Tor since i was never that paranoid. They also say that anyone who uses Talia, which is Linux with Tor installed, ended up being spied on as well. Here's the original data from the German website that broke the story.  I can't make heads or tale of it.

NSA collects more info on regular people then intelligence targets- Washington Post

Breakdown of the data the Washington Post reviewed. 89% of people were innocent bystanders or non-targets

My Comment:
According to the Post 89% of the people caught up in the NSA's searches are either innocent bystanders or non-targets. I understand that some people are going to get caught up in this by mistake but there is no excuse for keeping the massive amount of irrelevant data. It should be immediately deleted as soon as it is determined to be useless. The potential for abuse here is just insane.

On a more personal note the overreach for the NSA is a major reason why i decided to start this blog. I may be making a bigger target out of myself but it seems like everyone is caught up in it anyways...
