Easiest way to feed data to PRISM
- fraserharris 13y agoThe leaked document reads: “Collection directly from the servers of these U.S. Service Providers: Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Facebook, PalTalk, AOL, Skype, YouTube, Apple.” [1] Its been reported that Facebook set up a secure server where the [NSA|FBI] could retrieve data that had been collected as legally required. [2] A Google Chief Architect has claimed that no special systems have been built internally to support this. [3] In summation, the likely setup is that someone (legal) vets the ordered request, oks the internal use of OAuth to spoof access to the data, & dumps it in a secure FTP server for the government to collect. To achieve "near real time", just look how they handle Google Product Feed's - every 30 minutes a "diff" of product data is updated.
