I can understand it from a positive vetting approach, but now it is known about then if anything further data will be of questionable quality.<p>If anything I&#x27;m more surprised this is know about the NSA regarding this site more than the NSA&#x27;s actions.<p>Though if you look at the linked source, viewers in &#x27;US&#x27; OR &#x27;GB&#x27; OR &#x27;CA&#x27; OR &#x27;AU&#x27; OR &#x27;NZ&#x27; are excluded.<p>Now it does not appear that if you run thru a proxy service located in one of those countries, that you would by pass this flagging. Which is anything seems a little bit of a silly oversight and not one I would expect the NSA to be making.<p>So how trusted and true is this information and associated source this article is related too? Anybody add credence to this?
