I am not blaming you, but by you commenting here, you make it ok for the NSA to target all Americans who replied to this thread and all Americans that replied to threads that these Americans replied to in the past and all Americans that replied to threads that these Americans replied to in the past (since the NSA use 3 degree of separation rule).

View on HN

I don't get it, care to elaborate?

For example, if Person_1 from a country besides USA calls an American (Person_2), it makes it ok for the NSA to spy on everyone Person_2 calls (lets call them People_3), and everyone People_3 calls (People_4) and everyone People_4 calls... I assume they follow the same rules for internet traffic so they basically get all internet data even if they are technically not allowed to spy on Americans...

So you're saying that non-Americans should not comment on HN?

of course not but I was hoping someone would be able to contradict me
