I haven’t commented at all

May 17, 2006 by Michael Boyle

I haven’t commented at all

about the US NSA wiretapping stuff, but last week Boing Boing published a great excerpt of a William Gibson interview in which he commented on the story: William Gibson on NSA wiretapping. Pithy quote: “…there aren’t many people really shocked by this. Our popular culture, our dirt-ball street culture teaches us from childhood that the CIA is listening to *all* of our telephone calls and reading *all* of our email anyway.”
