So is the NSA security leaker a hero, villian or both?

The irony of this conversation taking place on this website is hilarious.

Corporations owe us nothing. We agree to give them money for whatever service or good they provide, and they make note of it in the form of a receipt. That's a contract. You have no rights and there isn't anything promised to you other than what you asked for, what was delivered, and if you payed for it. Period. if a contract got fucked, you go to court, but if you agree to the TOS, you're bound. Your fault if you don't read it.

Yeah except companies are getting caught doing things with your info that they didn't tell you about. Google, Facebook..just to name a few. And I'm sorry just because I bought your product or peruse your store doesn't mean I consent to having my face mapped so you can track me through the mall and see where else I go. Do websites tell you that the cookies they put on your PC is telling them where else you've been on the internet before and after you landed on their page? Cause that's what they do, right now. Websites now want to turn on your webcam so their facial recognition software can evaluate your level of enthusiasm as you're perusing their website. Right now most websites that do this give explicit warning of this otherwise they'd be in a lot of trouble...but the software to do this is freely available and you don't know shit unless they tell you they've turned it on and are looking at you. I agree, if you're aware of what they're asking and consent to it..it's on you. But if you trust these free market enterprises "not" to abuse that you're as gullible as the people that think the govt isn't abusing their software tools.

Google and FB are just NSA FRONTS.. Plain and simple! It will all stop when people give a fuck. As for now, people don't care about privacy.

The list of people who have spoken at TED is simply too long to post and most names are unrecognizeable and the ones that are would get lost in the muddle.

Here's a few you may or may not have heard of

Jeff Bezos
Richard Branson
Sergey Brin
Larry Page
Richard Dawkins
Bill Gates
Jane Goodall
Al Gore
Stephen Hawking
Ray Kurzweil
Craig Venter

I'm sure there's more names that people know my eyes just got tired scanning through the list. But you can see where this is going.

Ahh ic, when you want to make the point about supposed "class warfare" these 1%'ers are fucking midas touch pool fillers. But as soon as you see fit these people, who are at the top of their field unlike you, they go give talks just to spread some misinfo. No one and I mean no one talks out of two assholes like you do. You may be the first person I've ever met with two working shitholes. You're up to your ear in it. Fucking biteme wasn't as full of shit as you are, and he was a hell of a lot more entertaining.

I don't think you like getting your bubble burst.

And if reaaaaaaally want to make it big, use red jello in your bedside vat. The green and orange flavors don't work quite as well.
