- vkou 7y agoGiven its 200k buget (One developer-year), PRISM was exactly as it says on the tin. A web form for sending, and storing the results of Section 702 information requests. Those were targeted requests for user data. You can legitimately quibble over how precisely targeted they were, or whether there was a justifiable trail of evidence leading to a warrant. It, however, was not a mass surveillance system. You can't build a mass surveilance system on a 200k budget. You can't even integrate with one on a 200k budget.
