Didn't it get revealed that anyone who used a certain Linux forum got automatically added to an FBI surveillance list? Everyone here is definitely already on a list lol

Edit: it was the NSA, not the FBI: https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2014/07/the-nsa-thinks-linux-journal-is-an-extremist-forum/

Edit 2: for clarity, that article is from 2014 so it isn't exactly recent but if they were doing it in 2014 they probably still do something similar now.

Wow, really strong "only terrorists use encryption" vibes.

The great thing is, if everyone's on the list, no one is!

A lot gets you on that list. Practically the entire country is on that list

What was that one story about the wow server infiltrated by agents who ended up surveiling each other? That's real right? I can't tell anymore
