Yep, I'll be waiting but won't be holding my breath.
- scohesc 5y agoI wouldn't be surprised at all if we find out that NSA, CIA, FBI, etc. are all spying on United States citizens. Maybe not _directly_ but through work-arounds like purchasing/subpoenaing aggregate user information from places like ad agencies, Nest (and comparables), etc. etc.
- rainonmoon 5y agoThis is why the NSA's claim to have only a foreign purview was such an obnoxious response. Part of the revelations from Snowden's leaks was that the Five Eyes alliance is used to circumvent these jurisdictional limits, allowing countries to spy on their own citizens. It's not surprising that they're lawyering past an admission, but it's still galling.
- busterarm 5y agoWe already know via the Snowden revelations that this is true. Additionally, we route domestic communications or their logs/metadata through international links to be collected by other five eyes nations and shared back to us to skirt legal restrictions.
