The precise mechanism isn't important. The key question is: is there mass surveillance going on without warrants? And the answer appears to be yes. No one has disputed, for example, the Verizon leaks that started all this.
- brown9-2 13y agoTechnically the Verizon "leak" was a leak of a court order, so it has some legal merit. We can debate if it's fair or in spirit with the Constitution and 4th Amendment to issue such a wide-reaching court order, but it's not warrant-less.
- joeguilmette 13y agoTechnically, it is a court order, not a warrant. So it is warrantless.
