Correct but the 2014 PDF links at the top of the page corroborate this info and as far as I know, they are both Snowden leaks. The gchq-online-deception.pdf is particularly scary to read in terms of how the information is presented, let alone the subject matter.
Later leaks including Snowden have further corroborated this foil hat nonsense.
What do you mean by "foil hat nonsense"?
Why isn't your user name visible? How did you do that???
It required no effort on my part.
Yeah, how do I know you're even the same person if I can't see your name? Maybe lots of people can hide their names, for all I know! This is as bad as talking with anonymous cowards on slashdot, dammit.
Would that be tin or aluminum foil hat nonsense?
I prefer wood foil. Just punch eye holes in a brown paper bag. I am wearing one now so that the NSA cannot identify me through my webcam.
That's the same thing my sexual partners insist on. But they always insist I wear two, just in case one tears off.
