>Are you a Linux Journal reader or use software such as Tor and Tails Linux? If so, you've probably been flagged as an extremist" by the NSA. Leaked documents related to the XKeyscore snooping program reveal that the agency is targeting anyone who is interested in online privacy, specifically those who use the aforementioned software and visit the Linux user community website.
>XKeyscore is a collection and analysis software that was among a number of surveillance programs revealed by Edward Snowden last year.
>Its source code (basically a rule file), which has been obtained and analyzed by members of the Tor project and security specialists for German broadcasters NDR and WDR, identifies two German Tor Directory Authority servers as being under surveillance by the NSA. The code also cites a number of specific IP addresses of the Tor Directory Authority.
>The program marks and tracks the IP addresses of those who search for 'tails' or 'Amnesiac Incognito Live System' along with 'linux', ' USB ',' CD ', 'secure desktop', ' IRC ', 'truecrypt' or ' tor '. It also refers to the Tails Linux distribution as "a comsec mechanism advocated by extremists on extremist forums".

Which NSA databases do you appear in and how much information do they have about you? Keep in mind that data collection for all of these is passive and doesn't require the NSA to target you for this data to be collected. Also, for US citizens the NSA doesn't consider it to be violating your 4th amendment rights as long as they don't look at the data collected on US citizens without a warrant, even thought there's nothing keeping them (or the FBI that they recently gave access to all of their databases) from doing so.
>XKeyscore
Stores any data sent over the internet that isn't encrypted such as your searches, emails, posts, etc. for 3-5 days.
>MARINA
Stores metadata for all internet traffic. Possibly including HTTP headers so your entire internet history down to the pages you visited for every website you visit that doesn't use HTTPS and just the more general history of what website if the website does support HTTPS. Stores data for 1 year.
>MAINWAY
Stores metadata related to phonecalls such as caller, receiver, date/time of call, length of call, etc. for 5 year.
>DISHFIRE
Stores text messages for 1 or more years.
>FASCIA
Metadata about cellphone connections to cell towers. Stores data for an unknown amount of time.

All the terms from 'linux' to 'tor' only alerts the algorithm if it appears after 'tails' or 'Amnesiac Incognito Live System'. It makes sense when you search for those terms because you're basically looking for places where you can find the former two.

Actually the right is not.
The right is for freedom of information and privacy.
The right is against ideological freedom and degenerate behavior. So as long as you are not a communist ideological fanatic you're free to do as you please.
Communist countries are historically most totalitarian and Germany in the 1930s had way way more freedom than you have now. Even the gun ownership was encouraged, opposed to the the tightening gun control in modern liberal shitholes.

whats tails and amnesiac incognito live system?
Is there any non-amnesic tails-like distro?
I just want a normal distro with a built-in tor tunnel.
Or are there any guides on setting up similar tunneling on, say, debian?
I know how to do it using a second machine as an isolating proxy, but how to force all non-tor traffic on a machine to go through tor installed on the same machine?
plot twist: it's a reminder by them to use it
>>55529407
Tails is an operative system used for both, freedom fighters and people who should go to hell. With it you can be on the internet without being caught, it keeps you anonymous (or sort of).

>>55531496
>Whonix runs inside a separate virtual machine, I was asking for a single-machine solution.
>How does tails do it?
you can just install tor (vidalia/etc) on any linux distro and configure it as a proxy which is used by your applications.
Tails is deliberately modified so that you are less likely to leak information over Tor, and Tor is installed for you. That's all.
>>55517319
I frequently go months or weeks without sending/receiving a single text or phone call, and even then only to my parents.
I sometimes go up to a week without receiving a single email (not even spam) because I'm of no importance to anyone and not subscribed to anything.

I haven't socialized in years. I only leave my home for work or groceries.

Read the OP again. Those are only considered suspicious if combined with certain other, less common search terms. Though why those other terms on their own aren't enough to be a red flag I don't know.
>>55520923
You mean like they do anyways?
>>55527171
"Degenerate behavior" includes more than just Communism. It's generally considered to be anything that goes against "acceptable" social norms.
And from a Constitutional point of view, the freedom to spread Communist propaganda is more important than say the freedom to watch porn. Yes, a ban on porn would affect many more people's lives, but it's politically neutral. And as we live in a democracy, we could vote to change the ban on porn. But if we ban political movements such as Communism, that can very easily become a slippery slope to banning any political opposition, and thus losing our political power.
>Communist countries are historically most totalitarian and Germany in the 1930s had way way more freedom than you have now.
Unless you were an "undesirable". Conditional freedom is not true freedom. "Undesirables" were likely to lose their homes, their families, perhaps even their lives.
>Even the gun ownership was encouraged
Again, that didn't apply to the "undesirables". Or tell me again about all those times the armed Jews managed to fight off the Nazi soldiers trying to haul them off to the concentration camps?

Pic so related it hurts
the four greatest single threats to humanity in the forseeable future are:
-totalitarianism
-nuclear war (including nuclear terrorism on a grand scale)
-climate change
-asteroid collision
some government entity is needed to avert 3 out of 4 of those.
better the US, a democratic, constitutional nation with a culture of respect for human rights be in charge of amassing the data to avert the threat of nuclear terrorism as the technology develops to the point of being trivial to produce WMD.

You litterally said it right there. You are GUARANTEEING one "greatest threat to humanity" to decrease the chances of another one happening. I would rather MAYBE die from nukes than deffinetly live in 1984.
PS: Although i may not live in America, where i live there is a giant military base built directly on top of the over-sea cable to America that the government straight up lied to our faces about and said was for communications or some shit. Big suprise, Snowden told us they listen in to litterally all of the data that goes through it and they send a fuck load of it to the NSA.
