Video doesn't really provide much information, a quiet dark room. no back ground noise, no light, surely it can't be an office building .Probably just some kid in a basement with a neat little program.

My guess is that the op is someone involved with ATS.
20 post count before you can even start a new thread, right?
This is the OP's first post.
How does that happen if you are not logged in as admin of this site?

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but this is not news. I'm pretty sure it is known to everyone that everything we do on the computer is being watched. It is terrible that we cannot have our privacy but it can also be a good thing....like catching pedophiles. We don't have the power to change it. So I just have to look at it like, how many kids can be saved from catching pedophiles via internet? I feel that a kids safety is more important than caring about the government reading what I have to write. I'm wondering why you are in this line of work if you feel it shouldn't even exist. Don't get me wrong, I am all about freedom of speech and privacy but like I said, it is what it is, what can we do about it? It is a little bit hypocritical of you to be telling everyone what is going on but YOU ARE THE ONE DOING IT FOR A LIVING. You are the guy who reads peoples thoughts and decides who is dangerous.....well until one of your co-workers finds your post and you get fired. That is if you do really work for the gov't. I'll take your word for it.

So a spook has info like that seems like he has no security clearances or wishes not to speak of the cool stuff they have now.
I am a civilian and work for the major telecom provider for all telecommunications companies and see what he speaks of daily. I have not signed a nondisclosure clause in any of my contracts so the information I share about the subject is not Top Secret or do I need to feel scared for my life for revealing it.
I use "them or they" referencing the government agency in the basement of the main headquarters of my company. "They" use a computer program I believe was called carnivore, it uses a flag system, flagging words or combination of words. These flagged messages, emails and conversations are passed off to a human for review and from there I do not know. I have seen the program run, know that all messages and the majority of calls in the United States and surrounding countries are run through this program. This is only referring to anything going over a wireless carrier signal, and what was in place 6-7 years ago. I know a few facts about the programs shortcomings, it could only monitor one way communication if the call is between different carriers (this is why "they" have space at all carrier's main headquarters now) and blackberry messages were sent somewhere else for decoding. Blackberry uses their own encrypting and sure "they" have an answer for this problem by now since the program and people I refer to has been in operation for over 6 years in my offices. For all the folks in other countries, this is happening to you as well by your government. I have worked in Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, and Columbia and have the same characters involved. It is quite simple to retrieve this information and the telecom companies involved have given "them" a direct connection.
One question that comes up all the time is this spelling change or writing in code, and I can tell you this just means more flags to your message or conversation. Folks I truly believe "they" do not care about most crimes or dirty language (although some folks I work with do get a kick out of reading some of the things people say.) I will tell you it is illegal for the company I work for to comb emails and message but we do intercepts on errors and we work to fix the issues, so some messages are seen and yes some make us laugh. The thought of all information passing by the minute through these companies is being personally monitored is impossible but everyone should think twice before you send any information over any wireless connection, be it your computer or cell phone, it is not private, and if you are flagged someone will be reading....

One more Qu3$+ion 1 h@v3 is +hi$.
If I change words to read as above, will the hub still pick it up if it's a "B" word or a "T" word? Does it make any difference to try to disguise your words?
