You know - the US government copying US telco's data stash for its own analysis is a much-hyped but still small thing compared to the amount of data that companies compile on you. Facebook stores every wall post, private message, photo, etc even after you remove from wall, delete or untag. Gmail scans your email to place relevant ads. There's loads of deep-web mining companies that are compiling profiles on you like pipl.com. These companies' systems administrators are still less accountable than the government's, though that doesn't mean any actual abuse is going on. ....And didn't a debian package maintainer for one of the SSL (?) packages modify upstream's code years ago and accidentally introduce new security holes? That almost certainly was an accident and those holes almost certainly get discovered/patched but that's computer security Cheers, Scott -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
