      If we insist that the security services provide us with the best-possible cover against terror attacks, our liberties are expedient hostages

      .@leashless Your assuming these programs are primarily about terrorism anymore. All ACTUAL evidence suggests they're abt cybersecurity/IP

      .@emptywheel #PRISM is a long, long way from sigint. It's clearly the domestic stuff, but I'd expect similar programs for external threats.

      @leashless Have you even READ the minimization? It has an entire section devoted to keeping DOMESTIC cyber data.

      @emptywheel Yes, #PRISM is a domestic programme. We have not seen substantial leaks on the non-domestic programmes.

      @leashless I think you're confused. PRISM (702) has had overwhelmingly international successes, at least in terror.

      @emptywheel Right, but PRISM is not the gear used for, let's speculate, monitoring the Pakistani SMS networks.

      @leashless No. Which is one of many reasons it's not primarily abt terror. But the actual structure of it is now abt cyber, not terror.

          @emptywheel I think it's simply we haven't seen data on the other programmes. I can't see PRISM being very good for cyber, frankly.

          @leashless I guess I'm firmly of the belief that they're using it in the ways in which it deviates from the actual law. Which is cyber.

          @emptywheel I'm sure it's being used illegally. Obviously. But cyber... Snowden doesn't mention *anything* to do with TOR or decryption.

          @leashless And how can you say Snowden didn't say anything abt cyber when he leaked PPD on cyberwar showing how comms cooperate?

          @emptywheel hang on, hang on - we're talking about the backdoor into Google, Yahoo etc? Or something else? _which_ doc?

          @leashless So your first Q should be, is analyst level access to bulk data ONLY a prob w/Google, or w/comms (incl telecoms) in general?

          @emptywheel You're right, you're thinking about this in much more detail. I'm simply assuming #PRISM type programs for *everything* in reach

          @leashless See how that, plus details of min procedures, changes picture of what they're using 702 for?
