The NSA Has Inserted Its Code Into Android OS, Or Three Quarters Of All Smartphones

File under "No-Shit,Sherlock?!"
Your Not-So-Friendly Plastic Pal That's Fun To Be With!

Over a decade ago, it was discovered that the NSA embedded backdoor access into Windows 95, and likely into virtually all other subsequent internet connected, desktop-based operating systems. However, with the passage of time, more and more people went "mobile", and as a result the NSA had to adapt. And adapt they have: as Bloomberg reports, "The NSA is quietly writing code for Google’s Android OS."  (zerohedge.com)

Screw Google, screw Android. And screw Chrome as well. All are tools of surveillance.

Google and all those mentioned yet Mami's Shite forces us to sign into accounts other than what we already had just to comment; makes articles like these seem a bit absurd .... jewgle google account? Really?! What hypocrisy; I hated the trolls as much as the next guy but I really miss the sometimes excellent commentary. How things change in just a few months ...

sftx: Could you refrain from posting the same stuff in various topics? We all know that Google et all are actively spying on everything we post here-the blog runs on google servers via Blogger obviously!
Mami's changed its policy a few months back regarding Anonymous posting because a small hardcore of idiots were abusing the Comments section & Chatango chatwith both pro & anti religious hatred nonsense, despite numerous warnings about where that would lead. Those same idiots are now actively conspiring & campaigning for a return to those anarchistic days.
Your recent postings show you to be an intelligent & thoughtful commenter. Please feel free to comment on any subject, but be aware that continued posting of the same whinging information will result in said whinge being removed by admins everytime we see you spamming.
Thanks for reading :)
