The NSA and Algorithms

To quote a friend - Akash Shaikh, 'The laws in the US and UK say that much of this [the NSA revelations] is allowed, it's just that most people don't realise yet. But there is a big question about oversight. We now spend so much of our time online that we are creating huge data-mining opportunities.'
