Doc Edward Morbius ⭕In Memoriam: Mark Klein, AT&T Whistleblower Who Revealed NSA Mass Spying<blockquote>[W]hat Mark told us changed everything. Through his work, Mark had learned that the National Security Agency (NSA) had installed a secret, secure room at AT&T’s central office in San Francisco, called Room 641A. Mark was assigned to connect circuits carrying Internet data to optical “splitters” that sat just outside of the secret NSA room but were hardwired into it. Those splitters—as well as similar ones in cities around the U.S.—made a copy of all data going through those circuits and delivered it into the secret room.</blockquote><a href="https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/memoriam-mark-klein-att-whistleblower-about-nsa-mass-spying" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2025/03/memoriam-mark-klein-att-whistleblower-about-nsa-mass-spying</a>Klein provided one of the pre-Snowden disclosures of massive communications surveillance in the United States. I'd included him in an earlier toot from May 2021: <a href="https://toot.cat/@dredmorbius/106251396105180975" translate="no" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://toot.cat/@dredmorbius/106251396105180975</a>His story also demonstrates that "surveillance state" and "surveillance capitalism" aren't separate things, but part of the same larger surveillance octopus.<a href="https://toot.cat/tags/MarkKlein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MarkKlein</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/Room641a" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Room641a</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/ATT" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ATT</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/MassSurveillance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MassSurveillance</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/SurveillanceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SurveillanceState</a> <a href="https://toot.cat/tags/SurveillanceCapitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SurveillanceCapitalism</a>
