I was going to subscribe, but $29.50 for 12 digital issues is
highway robbery. With so many free resources available online, I
can't justify $30 for something I don't have time to read.<br>

Oh well, I guess the NSA will just have to find a different way to
harass me.<br>

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