PRISM 摘要:为何您应当感到关切

Listen to article
在过去的几个月里,您可能已经浏览过一些诸如NSA、棱镜计划、监控之类的词汇。许多对技术较为了解的人可能对政治并不感兴趣,尤其是当所有主要情节都发生在遥远的西部时。然而,尽管它看起来过于政治化且似乎无关紧要,但依然值得讨论。

PRISM是什么?为简化说明,这是一个由美国国家安全局(NSA)执行的绝密项目,旨在从几乎所有人处收集数据。最初人们认为该项目仅涉及互联网巨头,但事实证明情况更为复杂。以下是少数几家涉事的主要公司

  • 微软
  • 雅虎!
  • Facebook
  • Google
  • Apple
  • AOL

PRISM SLIDES

当然,即使有泄露的数据,这些公司仍否认了与棱镜计划(PRISM)的关联(您是否相信这一点由您决定)。据报道,其他公司如 Verizon 在泄露事件发生后不久便开始向美国政府提供数据。根据泄露的幻灯片显示,政府可以访问来自上述任何公司的数据。以下是他们能够收集的数据类型示例:

  • 电子邮件
  • 聊天(视频和语音)
  • 视频
  • 照片
  • 文件传输
  • 特殊请求

请记住,我们本不该知晓此事;我们本不该意识到,仅凭一个指尖轻点,就有一群人能够访问我们的数据。那么,究竟是谁泄露了这一切?

“我不愿生活在一个会做这类事情的社会……我不愿生活在我所做所说的一切都被记录的世界。这不是我愿意支持或忍受的。”

爱德华·斯诺登

除了美国政府对其民众拥有如此巨大的权力和监控能力外,还有报道称英国也能通过“棱镜”计划获取相同数据。不久之后,更多细节显示德国政府也使用了该监控项目。

“这些项目之所以被归类,自有其缘由……”

美国总统奥巴马表示,对这类事情向公众保密是有原因的,此次泄密事件也绝非他们所乐见。但尽管对此争议不断,一个秘密法院刚刚续签了相关命令,允许政府继续监视民众;他们称这是出于公共利益。

他们监控您数据的理由是什么?恐怖主义;他们声称政府已挫败多起恐怖阴谋(至于您是否相信这一点,由您自行判断)。

那么,这一切的问题究竟何在?美国政府希望将因反对其立场而成为吹哨人的爱德华·斯诺登缉拿归案;尽管部分民众对此表示愤慨,但政府仍缺乏应有的透明度,并将继续对我们进行监视,此类问题不胜枚举。

CIA SPYING

即使我不是美国公民,我仍对大多数人使用美国和欧洲的服务、且这些服务掌控我们个人数据的事实感到不安。然而,最令我担忧的是,极少有人对此表示关切。难道我们已经不再在乎了吗?还是每个人都变得政治无知了?

技术必将长存,毋庸置疑。它将随着时间推移持续发展,但当我们完全失去隐私的那一刻到来时,问题在于'我们将如何应对?'。

PRISM was built for the security of the people in the US. It’s for their own sake.. This program has triggers. If it’s activated that’s the time the prism will collect the data from the target. Kung hindi ka naman terrorista bakit ka matatakot sa ganitong security program..

As a child it’s hard for me to have any type of privacy kahit hindi naman ako celebrity. As I grow older, I learn to embrace the public eye. Yung question na, “bakit, may tinatago ka ba?” is always there for me. Dati, I don’t want to work in any line of work where there’s government requirements involve (SSS, BIR, etc.) because I don’t trust them. Their system is not that secure as other people might think they are. I learn how any system can be compromised even if we set our anonymity in place (such as this post.) In the end, I just let it be. Personal information about me are out there for everyone to see. The only thing that I’m trying to protect from privy eyes are those of my contacts.

There are linux os which you can use, running in live usb mode with security specific function,like anonymous browsing. Dont know yet if it is effective or maybe anybody here knows how to test it.But i think its worth trying …

Nope, this won’t help. The solution you suggested only protects data within your system but not anything against other system. Your email logs, web visits, calls etc. are not totally saved within your system. They are recorded through your friendly service providers in which government are said to have access to.

oh? you should’ve known:

The US government owns the whole world (or even the space up there).

Economy, technology, showbusiness, politics, power, hell yeah — cyberspace, named it… US tops it all. these are something that we CANNOT NIP IN THE BUD!

Period.

for me it’s ok for the people who has a lot to hide then it’s not. A state has the right and obligation to protect and safeguard it’s interest either from foreign or domestic threat. Information is a weapon so don’t post your torjackan sa internet para iwas scandal

I don’t think its about hiding, but more of being vulnerable.

When the republicans tried to do domestic spying the democrats and the American mainstream media made a lot of noise about government intrusion. Now that the democrats are in power they’re doing the republican dance. What a bunch of hypocrites. Even obama is on record doing his 180 turn around. If you see him supporting spying on american citizens today, he was doing the complete opposite in 2007 which shows his hypocrisy now that he is in power – http://www.mrctv.org/videos/flashback-2007-senator-obama-warrantless-wiretaps

its sad to say na dito sa pinas eh parang walang paki yung mga tao sa “privacy” nila. baka naghihintay pa sila na one day makita nila na yung mga chat/photos/emails/videos/photos nila na private eh makita nila sa web, yun pa yata ang time na mag react sila and then react outrageously.

Oh we do care, the problem is…we don’t really have much of a choice. It’s their way or the highway, and frankly…an internet-less dark age style of living just isn’t fun to go back to anymore.

Hell, I bet they have their grubby claws in the basic backbone of the internet. DNS services, routing, hosting…nowhere is safe. The safest we can *maybe* get is using TOR, and even that’s limited to the safety of your entry-exit nodes.

At least we can take solace in the fact that we *probably* are still safe using Globe/Sun/Smart/PLDT…hoping the CIA/NSA considers our country’s telco companies too small-fry to bother with.
