This doesnt seem true in practice. I would look at prism as an example

- ben_w 3y agoIf you want PRISM to be evidence that you don't have to "pick one", you don't just need to demonstrate that the US could access encrypted content, you also need to demonstrate that no other nations could exploit any part of it. That includes non-American courts making orders to use the same actual processes and procedures as PRISM, and which we might not even know about because those countries have not yet had their own version of Snowden revealing it. One thing I wonder with "secret" courts (and court orders where you're de facto ordered not to discuss the order even with your attorney like Lavabit was): How do you know if it's a legit court, and not an elaborate spear phish?
