Linux Journal is reporting that apparently the NSA considers it an “extremist forum” and the NSA may also be targeting Linux users for increased surveillance. Linux Journal’s information is based on reports issues by German media that disclosed details on who the NSA has been targeting.

What a sad story to come across on the fourth of July, the day America celebrates its independence from tyranny. It makes you wonder if anybody in Washington has ever even read the Constitution, especially that pesky fourth amendment that keeps getting cited by angry citizens when the government gets caught spying on them.
