- UncleMeat 7y agoThat's not true at all. The key element of the Snowden leaks was that the legal boundaries were not where we expected them to be. The telephony metadata collection program, for example, was fully legal but has way wider impact that people considered to be right.
- RHSeeger 7y agoThere's some muddy water between - What the written laws allow (or don't disallow) and - What the constitution allows I would say the various TLAs have been working outside "the law" insofar as what the constitution allows.
