An NSA program exposed by @Snowden ends Saturday but appetite for more changes might be fading http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/bs-md-nsa-phone-program-20151127-story.html …
@iduncan It's not ending dragnet collex of USP phone calls--just those turned over domestically. https://www.emptywheel.net/2015/11/27/the-government-wants-you-to-forget-it-will-still-collect-your-phone-records-in-bulk/ … @Snowden

@emptywheel Good point -- have added a couple of words to my lede to clarify that. -
@iduncan Thanks. As I noted here, govt probably hoping press would report entire dragnet shut down. https://www.emptywheel.net/2015/11/27/the-government-wants-you-to-forget-it-will-still-collect-your-phone-records-in-bulk/ … -
@emptywheel The point about them being able to access more records now is also very interesting. -
@iduncan That's a big reason why they were willing to move: because they couldn't oblige providers to provide records in usable fashion.
