Related: About this forumGlenn Greenwald: "Zero question we live in a surveillance state."
This Monday, Twitter released it's first ever transparency report. It revealed that just in the first six months of 2012, they've received more demands from governments for user data, than all of last year. And surprise, surprise, the United States made up the majority of the 849 requests, with a whopping 679. Alyona talks to Salon's Glenn Greenwald about the growing surveillance state and what can be done about it.

If you can believe that shit, you probably also believe that NASA faked the moon landings.

Greenwald is right in this case. We do live an a surveillance state, and it is getting worse.
I for one, would like to see an end to it.
