If you've researched online privacy then the NSA may already be tracking you
When the Edward Snowden revelations began flowing (and flowing, and flowing), the first thing many people screamed was "get on Tor!" Unsurprisingly, an analysis of the NSA's XKeyscore system has revealed that simply visiting the website of the privacy service is enough to get you registered as an "extremist." A report by German television found that the NSA's packet-sniffing targets anyone interested in online privacy -- with those outside of the US, Canada, UK, Australia and New Zealand marked down for extra surveillance. If, however, you've ever searched for (privacy-focused operating system) Tails or even Linux Journal, wherever you are, you're still likely to wind up on the NSA's naughty list.
