so uh article, no outrage that this can even be done by the NSA?

[–] Heresy_generator@kbin.social 45 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Well, no because the story is so obviously fake that no one but the most credulous of suckers could fall for it.

[–] Baines@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

well I’ll admit to not really digging deep while taking a shit but is this a joke or not?

The only thing that makes this obviously fake is that it claims she downloaded them from people's phones, rather than from some centralized NSA data store... And the idea an NSA employee would be held accountable publicly and cause bad PR.

Snowden let everyone know they could do this in his leaks

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And this, boys and girls, is a good enough reason to not digitize your willy or cooter, no matter how much you think it'll get you laid.

What if getting my dick doxxed is my kink?

[–] bobs_monkey@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Then live your best life lol

Government databases getting misused for personal motives is actually pretty common.

AP did a report on this back in 2016 and while public records on this are fairly limited, they still found about 300 cases of database abuse from 2013 through 2015.

Lmao this has been legal since the Bush administration.

[–] Baines@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I mean yea but this literally proves what people have been saying, that it would be super easy to abuse

[–] awwwyissss@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

"this" meaning this clearly satirical story or....

[–] DreamDrifter@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 year ago

John Oliver even did a thing on this, people don't care about "metadata", but ask them if they should be able to see your dick pics and people care a lot more

Well, apparently they're seeing your dick pics

[–] Gullible@kbin.cafe 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It’s made headlines at least twice before, it’s nothing new. That said, I think this was written in jest.

[–] Aesthesiaphilia@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's not just written in jest, it's totally made up

[–] victron@programming.dev 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Haha "Bush"

Ya get it? Dickpics, bush. Yeah.

I mean, it's been well known that the NSA has been intercepting and logging all domestic internet and other telecommunication traffic for like a decade now.
