Well, I certainly don't think you're a bad person for that - considering this forum is generally focused towards the technical angle of things.

For some reason, I thought I was clicking through to another Five Eyes/NSA, GCHQ, CSE programme. I guess it's since it was a single word in all capital letters and aftenposten.no previously reported on the "Oslo mobile/GSM surveillance" thing.

Glad I wasn't the only one to think this was going to be about an NSA program and outrage they would name something SWEATSHOP.

I thought their convention for arbitrary project names was always using two words with no intentional revelance to the actual scope of the project (with projects like Prism being the exception).

Then again, some of their names are so blatantly fitting (and offensive) that that claim doesn't seem very believable in the first place.

I thought exactly the same - especially when I saw the ".no" domain - sweatshops and Norway aren't think I normally associate!

That's what I thought as well.

that's why i opened the comments section
