Youtube has provided me with hours of video footage from Syria. I have seen people literally tortured to death on camera. I have seen men step on land mines and have their legs blown off and the aftermath of transporting him to the helicopter to air lift him out. I've seen rebels take bullets to the head and then slowly die right there on camera.

Seeing things like that on the internet changes the way you see the world.

What I find interesting is that government spying on the internet and what not has been going on for over 25 years and only now are people complaining about it.

The US is supposedly losing business deals because of the spying when Russia and China and the UK do the same thing.
