We should never allow computers to make inherently governmental decisions in terms of the application of military force, even if that's happening on the internet.

They still have negligent auditing, they still have things going for a walk, and they have no idea where they're coming from and they have no idea where they're going. And if that's the case, how can we as the public trust the NSA with all of our information, with all of our private records, the permanent record of our lives?

I'm not a spy, which is the real question

When the United States cannibalize dollars from the defensive business of the NSA, securing our communications, protecting our systems, patching zero-day vulnerabilities, and instead we're giving those dollars to be used for creating new vulnerabilities in our systems so that they can surveil us and other people abroad who use the same systems.

We are no longer citizens, we no longer have leaders. We're subjects, and we have rulers.

The NSA has built an infrastructure that allows it to intercept almost everything.

You can't come up against the world's most powerful intelligence agencies and not accept the risk. If they want to get you, over time they will.
