I’m no expert, but I’m pretty sure labeling something as mundane as Linux enthusiasts as extremist, most of whom are entirely innocent, is not a good way of tracking down actual extremists. You’re excessively expanding your search surface which will add a lot more noise than targets and actually make each search more difficult and time consuming. But who knows what their actual intentions are.
I forget what that software was called, xkeyscore or something, where they can see your entire digital footprint in a centralized place. I don’t think they’re using it to solve murderers or anything, just find people who could potentially embarrass the US in the same way manning or snowden did.
“The Party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are not interested in the good of others; we are interested solely in power, pure power.” – George Orwell, 1984
I will keep posting this quote because it is one of the most relevant things I’ve ever read.

You don’t really think NSA is actually trying to find actual extremists, do you?
