      Three years ago, this story on mass surveillance was published. At the time, no one knew it was part of a series.http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/06/nsa-phone-records-verizon-court-order …

      Surprised, @WhiteHouse said it was a "critical tool." 6 months later, that was proved a lie. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/independent-review-board-says-nsa-phone-data-program-is-illegal-and-should-end/2014/01/22/4cebd470-83dd-11e3-bbe5-6a2a3141e3a9_story.html …pic.twitter.com/NJ6yz5xvyd

          Initially, @POTUS defends mass surveillance as lawful and asks for trust. "Nobody is listening to your phone calls."http://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/09/obama-evolution-nsa-reforms …
