@emptywheel @ioerror except, per Bates October 2011, upstream raw 702 content not shared with other agencies, only Prism
@ioerror I THINK (guessing) that's one of problems they've had w/phone dragnet: haven't managed to automate that part of it @charlie_savage

@emptywheel@charlie_savage I don't see evidence for a lack of automation. -
@ioerror FISC approved automatic querying for phone dragnet in 2012 (one shut down in 2009), but have never implemented it.@charlie_savage -
@emptywheel@charlie_savage I'd call that learning rather than automation - the systems are all digital, tasking is automated, etc. -
@ioerror@emptywheel Are you asking if NSA directly tasks w/out private sector mediation? -
@charlie_savage@emptywheel I'm asking - what computer systems are used, what is the process, how does data flow, and so on. Exact details. -
@ioerror@emptywheel IG report p17: Stellarwind upstream tasking at telecom-controlled locs, selected data (not fulltake) to SSO/Pinwale -
@ioerror@emptywheel Also interesting: NSA sent upstream tasking instructions directly to equipment, telecom didn't implement unlike phone -
@charlie_savage@emptywheel Thus they have full take *access* to *select* from the full feed. - 7 more replies
