I know the forum has Linux users who will probably find this snippet as outrageous as I do.

According to a report about the excesses of the NSA's project XKeyScore if you visit Linux Journal you are immediately tagged as an extremist !!!!

I quote:

Other tracked IP addresses include those of individuals using MIT's Mix Minion anonymous email service and users who visit Linux Journal – the latter of which the NSA has flagged an "extremist forum"

Did you get that? Click on the site and your IP is logged because the XKeyScore software thinks you're an extremist.

And they even get paid for that sort of stupidity...
