@attackerman Hmm. When others have been aware "wonkiest of surveillance wonks" have been screaming abt this for months why is it obscure?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emptywheel Put "NSA" & "corporate store" into, say, Nexis & see how few results you get; & compare to "NSA" and "PRISM"/"phone data," etc.3 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@attackerman Perhaps proper usage is, "aspect that others noticed but I personally never reported."1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

@emptywheel No, the proper usage is "obscure" because it's obscure!2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

@attackerman "Little-noticed" serves BOTH to avoid crediting those who HAVE noticed and to absolve selves for not having "noticed."1 reply 2 retweets 2 likes -

@emptywheel and sometimes an observation of something's obscurity is just that; coupled with a way to tip a reader that Thing X is important1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes
@attackerman In any case, thanks for nothing what "look at" means.
