Browser extension intentionally triggers NSA spying as protest

Browser extension intentionally triggers NSA spying as protest:

Civil disobedience takes a new and somewhat lighthearted turn with the introduction of Jeff Lyon’s new browser extension Flagger. The extension intentionally inserts NSA keywords into URL addresses in hopes of triggering false alarms.

The National Security Agency’s domestic spying program has been the subject of intense debate since it was revealed by Edward Snowden. As the calls to stop the program seem to have fallen on deaf ears in Washington, people are taking matters into their own hands. Installing Flagger, an open source program, on your computer adds words the NSA is likely looking for into innocent web addresses you are visiting.
