NSA Now Monitoring Your Viewing of ‘Sexually Explicit Material Online’

WASHINGTON, D.C. (INTELLIHUB) — A document acquired and released by Edward Snowden details that the National Security Agency has been monitoring the general public’s online porn habits in an effort to exploit radicals possibly speaking out.

“The Director of the National Security Agency — described as “DIRNSA” — is listed as the “originator” of the document. Beyond the NSA itself, the listed recipients include officials with the Departments of Justice and Commerce and the Drug Enforcement Administration.

“Without discussing specific individuals, it should not be surprising that the US Government uses all of the lawful tools at our disposal to impede the efforts of valid terrorist targets who seek to harm the nation and radicalize others to violence,” Shawn Turner, director of public affairs for National Intelligence, told The Huffington Post in an email Tuesday.
