Linux Journal is
an "extremist
forum" and its
readers get
flagged for
extra
surveillance</a></h1>
<strong>by Kyle
Rankin</strong>
<p> A new story
published on the
German site <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://linuxjournalservices.com/portal/wts/uemc%7Cy-e4kqqefyOvL%7CTrcva%7CNFeDb">Tagesschau</a>
and followed up by
<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://linuxjournalservices.com/portal/wts/uemc%7Cy-e4kqqefyOvL%7CTrcvq%7CNFeDb">BoingBoing</a>
and <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://linuxjournalservices.com/portal/wts/uemc%7Cy-e4kqqefyOvL%7CTrcv6%7CNFeDb">DasErste.de</a>
has uncovered some
shocking details
about who the NSA
targets for
surveillance
including visitors
to <em>Linux
Journal</em>
itself.</p>
<p> While it has
been revealed
before that the
NSA captures just
about all Internet
traffic for a
short time, the
Tagesschau story
provides new
details about how
the NSA's
XKEYSCORE program
decides which
traffic to keep
indefinitely.
XKEYSCORE uses
specific selectors
to flag traffic,
and the article
reveals that Web
searches for Tor
and
Tails--software
I've covered here
in <em>Linux
Journal</em>
that helps to
protect a user's
anonymity and
privacy on the
Internet--are
among the
selectors that
will flag you as
"extremist" and
targeted for
further
surveillance. If
you just consider
how many <em>Linux
Journal</em>
readers have read
our Tor and Tails
coverage in the
magazine, that
alone would flag
quite a few
innocent people as
extremist.</p>
<p> While that is
troubling in
itself, even more
troubling to
readers on this
site is that
linuxjournal.com
has been flagged
as a selector!
DasErste.de has
published the
relevant XKEYSCORE
<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://linuxjournalservices.com/portal/wts/uemc%7Cy-e4kqqefyOvL%7CTrcvL%7CNFeDb">source
code</a>, and if
you look closely
at the rule
definitions, you
will see
linuxjournal.com/content/linux*
listed alongside
Tails and Tor.
According to an
article on <a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://linuxjournalservices.com/portal/wts/uemc%7Cy-e4kqqefyOvL%7CTrcwa%7CNFeDb">DasErste.de</a>,
the NSA considers
<em>Linux Journal</em>
an "extremist
forum". This means
that merely
looking for any
Linux content on <em>Linux
Journal</em>,
not just content
about anonymizing
software or
encryption, is
considered
suspicious and
means your
Internet traffic
may be stored
indefinitely.</p>
<p> One of the
biggest questions
these new
revelations raise
is why. Up until
this point, I
would imagine most
<em>Linux Journal</em>
readers had
considered the NSA
revelations as
troubling but
figured the NSA
would never be
interested in them
personally. Now we
know that just
visiting this site
makes you a
target. While we
may never know for
sure what it is
about <em>Linux
Journal</em> in
particular, the
Boing Boing
article speculates
that it might be
to separate out
people on the
Internet who know
how to be private
from those who
don't so it can
capture
communications
from everyone with
privacy know-how.
If that's true, it
seems to go much
further to target
anyone with Linux
know-how.</p>
<p> It's bad news to
all of us who use
and read about
Linux on a daily
basis, but
fortunately we
aren't completely
helpless. Earlier
in the year I
started a series
on security,
privacy and
anonymity in my
Hack and / column
that included
articles on how to
use the Tor
browser bundle and
Tails. With either
piece of software
in place, you can
browse <em>Linux
Journal</em>
(and the rest of
the Internet) in
private.</p>

other
privacy-related
stories at
LinuxJournal.com.</p>
