Re: [pakgrid] PRISM Effect on Cloud Computing

 

AoA,

The problem is that we are so infatuated by west in general and technology in particular that what ever is western and "advanced" is accepted without looking at it from an ideological point of view. I raised this issue and wrote about it more than six months ago 


Unfortunately most of our "researchers" are not interested in ideological issues. For them such things are imaginations of "conspiracy theorists" or are "not their problem".
It is time that we realize what is capitalism and how capitalists are  controlling the whole world.

Regards & AH

The Washington Post recently reported on a secret government program to snoop Internet data, named PRISM. How will this revelation impact the cloud computing world and could it put a damper on cloud adoption?

 Last week, the Obama administration found itself embroiled in another pair of scandals. First, on Wednesday, The Guardian reported that the NSA has been collecting the call records of millions of Verizon customers (later reports say that AT&T and Sprint Nextel are also involved). On Friday, The Washington Post upped the ante and reported that "the National Security Agency and the FBI are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading U.S. Internet companies, extracting audio and video chats, photographs, e-mails, documents, and connection logs that enable analysts to track foreign targets." The result of these revelations has been a deep discussion throughout the traditional media, blogosphere, and other social media about the desired limits of government power to intercept and analyze private communications. Whatever your opinion on the politics and civil liberties issues, one thing is for sure — the revelations about the PRISM program are going to change the way people look at public clouds.
