Tails OS. I went to search what it was and read the Wikipedia article. Guess I'm on a watch-list now, cause of my dumb curiosity lol

From Wikipedia

In 2014 Das Erste reported that the NSA's XKeyscore surveillance system sets threat definitions for people who search for Tails using a search engine or visit the Tails website

My dumb ass wants to know really bad what Tails OS is and why knowing that'd put you on a watchlist

[-] QaspR@lemmy.world 25 points 6 months ago

Tails OS is an operating system you load onto a USB that "basically" procludes you from being tracked. It's FOSS, and governments all over the world hate it. Even though the U.S. military "basically" invented it.

Lmao that's low key, kinda how I feel looking at that link right now

Edit: Mother fu**er, and I still clicked it! God damnit; curse my curiosity. It's a link to the Tails website y'all, in case you're wondering. Doesn't matter for me, I'm already balls deep under the NSA's nose now. Hope they're happy my taint is showered
