Why are they "genuine successes", but only "alleged problems"? I think you're giving them credit for alleged successes and ignoring the genuine problems.

- willstrafach 9y agoI used this phrase: > allegedly problematic aspects which leak out Due to the problematic aspects being judged solely by the journalists publishing the leak. For example, the business records collection on Verizon metadata was something The Guardian saw as problematic and worth exposing, and I agree on it being problematic, so I was glad to see it fixed in 2015 (They now must ask the ISP for information in a more targeted manner instead of getting it all and self-regulating targets). On the other hand, Spiegel alleged that TAO and CNE-related activities are problematic. I disagree with that and did not see any point in those releases. Hopefully that makes more sense, I did not mean to imply anything with my phrasing.
