What they need is for the site to randomly generate a more unique phrase for each person that loads the page.<p>Basically, come up with a list of trigger words and then work them into innocuous sections of text in a random manner. That way &quot;they&quot; can&#x27;t filter out the text being sent.

Who comes up with these? Do you really think they won&#x27;t check the sha of that text against something? Imagine the 100 billion dollars of &quot;Buy boner pills @ onlinepharmacy.ru&quot; type emails which make the 68.6% of all the email sent worldwide, do they really think that they can top that?<p>if (mail.sha == &quot;6ead421c0d8c4e36dbe5c4f5b2f14d93fa634da65f024f6440e4cafc13e7d0e4&quot;) irs_audit(mail.sender);

You&#x27;re lucky that the NSA has no way to read everything you&#x27;re planning on the internet, or else it would be all a waste of time.

Occasionally call phone numbers at random.<p>Ask about the weather. How was the ball game? Don&#x27;t take long.<p>Then hang up.<p>Associations networks will hate us if we all do that.

If you&#x27;re an emacsen, M-x spook will do the trick

&gt; F my life, right?<p>Better censor yourself or the NSA will think you&#x27;re rude. If what you want to say is &quot;fuck&quot; man up and spell it out.

This seems like a joke that got overdone - I can imagine someone saying &#x27;hey it would be funny if the whole world emailed each suspicious shit to troll the NSA&#x27; across a dinner table but any more than that and it stops being funny

&quot;They&quot; will just filter out that specific script.

Is this really relevant to HN? There&#x27;s nothing of substance in the content at all.<p>Reddit is a much more relevant platform for mildly interesting stuff that&#x27;s happening on the internet. I wish the mods would be more aggressive with moderating submissions.

Until they add an ignore rule specifically for this text.

If the NSA is monitoring these channels already they probably have already dealt with a volume of traffic equal to what this individual proposes.

They left out the word &quot;jihad&quot;.

This &quot;operation,&quot; is just ridiculous and childish, and worst case say it could actually pose a risk...I&#x27;m definitely a supporter of privacy, just closing ur facebook, using linux, and turning off your phone during precious conversations (reducing ur digital footprint)...that will do more than creating an unnecessary risk like this.

Not advocating the use of a spam bot, but surely it uses would be more efficient ...
