    One of the documents revealed by Snowden shows that both Wikipedia and Wikimedia has been listed as a so-called “Appid” in the XKeyscore – a program that covers “nearly everything a typical user does on the internet” – to identify web traffic, meaning that wiki related web traffic is something that NSA finds valuable.

    Sigh… I even registered a Wikimedia account for a photo contest years ago.
