!! Operation Troll the NSA !! 12-06 at 7:00PM EST

[Domela Nieuwenhuis]

Hey everyone! Want to troll the NSA for stealing our data!?

Here's how!

It is a mass mail/call-action. We all call or mail with as many terrorism-filled words all at the same time!

It starts at 7:00 PM EST, today! :thumbup1:

This reminds me of when we found a list of words used by the FBI to filter suspected terrorists.

That was fun...

cool and then actually get raided when they find out who is active/on file and realize they can get away with it

No thanks, what an awful idea.

[Ethics Gradient, Traitor For All Ages]

Or the NSA could just add the body of that message, which you helpfully provided, to a filter so that it doesn't register as anything important to them.

[Q]

It's not funny when they know about it :p

[Domela Nieuwenhuis]

^^ True.

Could have changed the message slightly though.

Could even help myself, fucking laptop.

[Sky Hedgehogian Maestro]

They've already tapped this thread. They're ready for us.

What will this achieve?

With enough people taking part with semi-unique messages, you could potentially force the nsa to sift through a shitload of junk data. They have to have some sort of filter thats running through everything they pull back to highlight messages containing certain terms that qualify them for a follow up by a human. If it worked you could maybe make the program unappealing to them and force them to kill it. But something casual like this is really underestimating the resources that an agency like the nsa has.

That was fun...I'd actually like to see this, just for shits + gigs.
