ScareMail Extension

ScareMail makes email \"scary\" in order to disrupt NSA surveillance. Extending Google's Gmail, the work adds to every new email's signature an algorithmically generated narrative containing a collection of probable NSA search terms. This \"story\" acts as a trap for NSA programs like PRISM and XKeyscore, forcing them to look at nonsense. Each email's story is unique in an attempt to avoid automated filtering by NSA search systems.

Dave Roberts (ID: 00000049e4a1522f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 11/27/2013 Fantastic app! I relish the idea of making it as difficult as possible for nefariously sinister animals to make sense out of my emails.

Donn Edwards (ID: 000000d23e76cd6f) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 10/11/2013 Fantastic idea. And the perfect antidote to evil American and British warrantless and illegal wiretapping. Now they'll have to edit their algorithms to exclude "ScareMail" from their scans, which means they won't read my mail any more.
