We’re a little surprised it took this long to come up, but somebody finally asked Edward Snowden what the NSA did with what has to be the largest repository of nude photos on Earth. The answer is… well, pretty much absolutely unsurprising.
The Guardian, as part of a far-reaching interview out tomorrow, states that Snowden “…made a startling claim that a culture exists within the NSA in which, during surveillance, nude photographs picked up of people in ‘sexually compromising’ situations are routinely passed around.”
Wait, you mean the surveillance authority with some of the most surveillance capability on Earth and absolutely no oversight whatsoever, operating under absurdly lax laws that allow them to gather pretty much anything they want whenever they want it, abused that authority? Especially with the rise of sexting? Isn’t this pretty much exactly what we expect people abusing their authority to do?
Snowden notes that this is actually against the law and even the NSA’s ridiculously thin policies on information abuse, for obvious reasons. But it happens anyway because, well, there’s no auditing. He points out that, after all, he walked out the front door with a treasure trove of records, so we’re not talking about people who stay on top of things.
So, yes, if you have sent somebody a nude photo, the NSA has probably seen it, and it’s probably been passed around the office. Which is yet another reason to not send naked pictures of yourself across the Internet, in case you needed any more of those.

Definitely NOT passing this link on to my fiancee…
Nope
So, uh, are they hiring?

Did we expect anything else?
How does one get hired at the NSA?
So, the NSA runs all of the “ex-girlfriends” sites?
That. Makes so much sense. Celebrities who have been “hacked” could just be the pervs at the NSA making a quick buck. We know they have no ethical integrity after all, I doubt they have regular people morals too.

Actor da Sykes was/is a NSA agent.
Grrrrr! Wanda Sykes. Lag
I like to text anatomically correct illustrations of male reproductive systems to my wife. I do this as a tongue-in-cheek jab at the concept of dick pics and because I think I’m funny. Anyway I hope that the NSA thinks that I’m the visible man.
I’m just going to start emailing pictures of my dick directly to the NSA
You’re welcome, NSA.
You guys are burying the lede here. There are naked pictures of Jessica Alba at the NSA office (has she posed naked before? I was trying to think of a celebrity that hasn’t and she’s all I could think of).
You are welcome.
Don’t be telling hoes not to send nudie pics, you dick.
OK….? I had to sign in, wtf. Like Vernomine, Are they Hiring? Who’s gonna monitor them….Wow, there is no Internal Affairs for the Internal Snoopers. Good to Know.

That last line is highly misleading. I understand the need for click-bait, but… that’s borderline irresponsible.
There is so much data being collected…..who wrote the algorithm that separates nudes from granny on Pinterest?
Enjoy that one time I stuck your toothbrush up my butt, detectives.
I worked for Kodak years ago in far more sexually restrictive times. We had to automatically inform hopefuls who sent in their sexy pics for processing that they only had two options, allow Kodak to destroy them or pass them onto police Naturally everyone chose the first option.
However everyone working in Kodak got a copy, with people actually re-ordering more from the developing/printing team. I’d be surprised if the lads and lasses at NDA weren’t doing the same.
