@dametzger I was always told that mass surveillance was the opposite of targeted collection @pwnallthethings
@electrospaces Again, just weeks ago, you were insisting this much data wasn't "collected" (in the traditional meaning).

@emptywheel I still don't consider the rolling buffer as data that is collected -
@electrospaces You mean you have redefined "collected" to exclude data that is aged off. Yes. -
@emptywheel well, a central point of this whole NSA debate is about the definition of "collection" (and "mass surveillance") -
@electrospaces A central point of official obfuscation is in making many words moving targets, you mean. -
@emptywheel Same applies to the other party by giving words the widest posisble reach -
@electrospaces LOL. Yes. Even Clapper admits this definition of collect you're embracing is, um, jargon the IC invented. -
@emptywheel But what's your opinion on XKS: is it useful but too broad, or should it be abandoned immediatly? -
@electrospaces Has the aspiration to omniscience helped those it serves make better decisions? Nope. - 1 more reply
