Vault 7 discussion

Yeah I've been looking through a lot of it. It'll be interesting to see how much coverage this gets.
But in my opinion this is pretty huge and has a lot of stuff that has been speculated about but now is apperently true if this does all become confirmed.

But this truly is some dark shit. Using smart tv's to spy on people, using car computer systems to accomplish hidden assassinations, training and creating false flag strategies and hording/selling consumer technology back doors is all pretty shaded. Granted that this is the new type of warfare. False flags, proxy attacks, and data gathering is all part of our technology filled world now.

if this is verified like most wikileaks this should be huge. they are going off on twitter with some real heavy shit they better back it up

"That Samsung smart TV? The CIA can turn the mic on and listen to everything you say #vault7 #1984rebooted"

Also the big worry for me is that they made mention of the cia being able to acces encrypted messages. Encryption has always been a check on monitoring power, but now it may not even be that.

We're so fucked. It's becoming real life 1984 with Trump's "alternative facts" (doublespeak), and being spied on by Smart TV's (Telescreen). The problem is so many people are okay with it. When all that shit happened with Snowden and the NSA years ago, my mom was like "I don't care they can spy on me, I have nothing to hide." Yeah to an extent that attitude's fine. Obviously the DEA isn't gonna bust down my door cause they overheard me ripping a bong on my hypothetical Smart TV, and I'm not plotting terrorist attacks, so I'm sure I'm not on any lists or really being observed in any way. But where's the line in the sand? It'll inevitably move from suspected terrorists, to suspected drug dealers who are moving weight, to suspected drug dealers who are flipping zips to support their own smoking habit, and then to just drug users. Obviously there's probably better examples than the drug supply chain, but that was just an easy one that came to mind. And as technology progresses and it becomes easier and more viable to spy on more and more people, at what point does thoughtcrime become real?
