Warning:

The first sentence goes "If you read Boing Boing, the NSA considers you a target for deep surveillance".

So, if you find this interesting, maybe you shouldn't read it.

First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Socialist.

Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.

Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.


You're warning people about the possible consequences of reading BoingBoing on a site called Hacker News, Where actual hackers and technorati hang out and complain about the American government all the time.


Or maybe you should read what you want, and fight for your right to do so.


OK, just to clarify - I wanted to point out that the site basically says "once you're reading this, you're getting tracked" paradox warning in a (IMO) funny way.

I don't agree at all with these practices.


If you are here, you can be damn sure you were already on their list long time ago.


"I'm not a terrorist or a criminal so I am fine with forfeiting my rights to privacy and freedom so they can keep me safe from the imminent danger of terrorists"

Heard that one before.
