(39,313 posts)*** that secure FTP access is the same as "accessing your files willy nilly"? and it's true every five minutes there's another mention of ALL the other goodies they'll release... yeah right
Tenacious, to put it mildly. To suggest that the problem is merely that the tech giants contradicted the PRISM slide represents a stubborn refusal to acknowledge the volumes of contravening information thats been released, including from his own publication. No, Greenwald couldnt possibly have gotten it wrong, it must be that someone else is lying about it and who are you going to trust? Greenwald or a big bad tech company? Its a clever dance around the growing reality that direct access to servers was actually about secure FTP access, a process thats commonplace on the internet and doesnt allow full and direct access to anything other than files posted for download.
