Maybe I should have put this in political entertainment but, someone is trying to sell a new phone they guarantee is NSA proof. Don't that make you lol? And how would they prove it without ending up in jail?

Okay, so they may not be going to jail. But... will they be able to prove it being NSA proof? All NSA has to do to disprove is say nothing. Then you buy your pig in a poke phone, just like all those who bought snake oil a century ago, or bought the Brooklyn Bridge, or a Rolex watch off some guy on the street.

I don't think having net neutrality dead in the US will really improve the situation. >.>

Well tbh they could probably do it, if not now maybe in the future? Who knows? Although I'm pretty sure they're not going to show you how they do it.
BTW, the other day I stumbled onto a report from GHCQ. Basically it's a guide on how to make your system safe. It is meant for official but coming from GHCQ I just can't ignore the irony.
