This week, I discuss the corruption of the NSA and how its very existence threatens not only the privacy of Americans, but the very security it promises us in exchange for that privacy, and the ongoing war on encryption. I  also introduce a new segment that I’ll call “messing with the scammers,” this week on EOTSS!   ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Please consider supporting Enemy of the [Surveillance] State via Patreon https://www.patreon.com/EnemyOfSurveillance or by picking up some cool merch at https://teespring.com/stores/eotss-merch Anything you do helps support the show and keeps it growing! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- https://www.reuters.com/article/us-juniper-encryption-congress-idUSKBN23H2C9 https://www.zdnet.com/article/congress-asks-juniper-for-the-results-of-its-2015-nsa-backdoor-investigation/ https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/6940833-Wyden-House-Juniper-Letter.html https://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/computers/item/23554-government-s-all-access-pass-to-your-privacy https://www.thenewamerican.com/tech/computers/item/22701-mcafee-gov-t-backdoors-are-destroying-national-security https://www.businessinsider.com/john-mcafee-nsa-back-door-gives-every-us-secret-to-enemies-2016-2?r=US&IR=T https://www.dailydot.com/debug/earn-it-act-petition/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Enemy of the [Surveillance] State is written, produced, and narrated by C.
