| "Testing"? Sure, Jan. They would have to be incompetent if they were not using them both for security penetration as well as social engineering / election meddling as everyone else is. |

| They would have to be incompetent if they didn’t have assets embedded in the companies and have a direct hand in the models’ development. |

| I don't think NSA meddles in politics. CIA sure. NSA is more about communications, hacking, signal intelligence and spying in general. They give you the information. If you want to do dirty stuff with that info, the CIA is there for that. |

NSA collects who you're voting for and everything else you've ever said online in case they need to invent a reason to black-site you. FBI convinces the autistic son of your Pakistani neighbors down the street his life only has meaning if he becomes a Jihadist. | |

| ▲ | bhouston 5 hours ago | parent [-] | | I am not sure the NSA has been turned inward at this point. I was thinking more of the Alberta Separatist referendum (https://globalnews.ca/news/12069878/foreign-influence-watchd...) as well as against leftist politics in South America (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/24/trump-brazil-e...) Although there is evidence Israel was targeting US elections, including trying to harm Mamdani's chances: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BlackCore_election_interferenc... | | |

| ▲ | throwawayffffas 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | You are thinking of the CIA. The NSA mission is primarily inward focused. While the NSA may have it's fingers in any of these cases. As far as i understand the agencies roles these would be jobs for the CIA. | | |
| ▲ | derektank an hour ago | parent [-] | | >The NSA mission is primarily inward focused. This is simply false. Only domestic law enforcement agencies like the FBI can conduct domestic investigations. Law enforcement or counter-intelligence agents might be given access to intelligence the NSA collects if they have a warrant, but it is not in the remit of the agency to intentionally collect information on US persons, it’s only allowed incidentally when conducting foreign intelligence collection |

| ▲ | vrganj 5 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Those are definitely a thing - also don't forget about elections in the EU, with the open support for the far-right there as well as the US National Security Strategy officially talking of wanting to undermine the EU. But the NSA has been turned inward a long time ago. Don't forget Snowden - all it takes is some fun legalisms. | |
