This confuses me too. I am allowed (as a private citizen or company who has never had an interaction with the feds) to say that I've had zero reports/requests like this right? Or is just uttering that a federal crime (did I just fuck up by saying that?)
It would seem that it's perhaps illegal to say anything once you've gotten at least one of them, and they tell you that you can't do this anymore right?
- ChristianBundy 10y agoIANAL, but I believe you could say "I've had zero" until you get one, at which point you can only say "I've had between 0 and 249".
- tibbon 10y agoSo 0-249 really means, "probably at least 1, but I'm not allowed to say zero"
- lukasubo 10y ago0-249 probably means 249.
- andrewguenther 10y agoProbably not, per the official document[0]: > a provider may report aggregate data in the following separate categories: > The total number of all national security process received ... in the following bands: 0-249 and thereafter in bands of 250 [0] https://www.justice.gov/iso/opa/resources/422201412716042240387.pdf https://www.justice.gov/iso/opa/resources/422201412716042240...
- ioquatix 10y agoActually, 0-249 means -249 :D
- jstoiko 10y ago0-249 probably means 125.
- masklinn 10y agoNope. Starting in 2013 the government agreed provides could report aggregate of official requests for customer data (including NSLs) in bands of 1000. In 2014 the agreement[0] was altered to provide two options * fine-grained categorisation large bulk, separately reports on numbers of NSLs, customer affected by NSLs, content FISA, customers affected by content FISA, non-content FISA and customers affected by non-content FISA in bands of 1000 (for each category) starting from 0-999 inclusive * coarse-grained categorisation finer bulk, report only the aggregate number of FISA and NSL orders and the number of customers affected by that aggregate, but do so in bands of 250 (starting from 0-249 inclusive) So "0-249" means "between 0 and 249", they're not allowed to be more precise at this point [0] https://www.justice.gov/iso/opa/resources/422201412716042240387.pdf https://www.justice.gov/iso/opa/resources/422201412716042240...
