Go address some of the posters "why is the front page worthy" - I'm not surprised that 3 letter agencies get all the data they want, but very often it's very covert and not so "official".
- superduperuser 4y ago"why is this on the front page?" because someone found and read this wiki and decided to share it with others who also found it interesting so they upvoted it. now here we are
- user_7832 4y agoNo no, I'm in agreement of this post being relevant, I typoed :(
- formerly_proven 4y agoLawful interception is not for "three letter agencies", but for the police (TLAs have their own totally different ways to get this data, in the US they even have their own courts for this). So these are generally documented, judicial processes.

- stefan_ 4y agoLawful interception is precisely not made for "three letter agencies", since the latter derive the majority of their power from not spying on the law subjects of their own country. Although the US have of course intentionally muddled this with FISC and at times outright disregard for that simple principle.
