It appears you are misremembering or misunderstanding the Snowden leaks.
- ChuckNorris89 4y agoSure, there was a need for warrant, but those were issued by the FISA courts which were secret and were basically a rubber stamp with the judges saying yes to every request. Might as well not be a warrant as you have no legal defense against it or even a way to know about it. Or which part of Snowden leaks he misunderstood?

So in conclusion, companies responded to court orders from courts in the jurisduction they were in. > Might as well not be a warrant as you have no legal defense against it You might need to take a refresher on what a warrant is. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probable_cause https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Probable_cause is as good a starter as any, the bar is low, very low.

- anonym29 4y agoThe data was fed to the NSA without any kind of warrant. The FISA court needed to grant a warrant to the NSA to access the data they already possessed. As others have pointed out, this court was also effectively a rubber stamp machine. Between 1979 and 2015, 38,365 warrants were approved and a grand total of 12 were rejected. That's an approval rate of >99.9%.
