Snowden Document Says Dutch Secret Service Hacks Internet Forums

vikingpower writes "In the ever-longer wake of the NSA scandal, much-respected Dutch newspaper NRC today reveals, in English, as mandated by the gravity of the occasion, that the Dutch secret service, the AIVD, hacks internet forums. And yes, that is gross misconduct against Dutch law. The service, whose headquarters are in Zoetermeer, did not yet comment upon the divulgence of the document from Edward Snowden's collection. Incensed Dutch parliamentarians are calling for an enquiry."

Does that make it right? No? Then SO WHAT?

Sick of this "Everyone does it!".

Child trafficking is rampant.

So it's OK if I do it?

The real question is, of course, if Slashdot is using mySQL as well.

Re:Why

[Anonymous Coward]

The real question is: how did the NSA know that the Dutch secret service was doing this?
Either the NSA is spying on the spies, or they're sharing data.

I agree and as I am English (and thus speak only one language) I should be able to judge their aptitude. In fact, the Dutch seem to be amazingly good with languages and often their English is better than native speakers.
