That's interesting. I knew that. But almost no other privacy people understood about =/= emails. So maybe not? @icontherecord
But maybe that's bc it was deliberately downplayed in all public releases in US and not mentioned in EU ones? @icontherecord
I don't think they are obliged to use alarmist, media-type language when disclosing surveillance techniques.
Bollocks. I called PCLOB and said, "this is deliberately misleading language." PCLOB nevertheless adopted it for 702 report.
They don't have to use the same language as the ACLU. If they disclose, they disclose. It's up to us to explain.
.@Timothy_Edgar Please stop being condescending. You have no business caricaturing real analysis on language to cover for the IC.
.@Timothy_Edgar Entire convo started w/my saying ODNI ought to have easy arg to make they're not making. I'm not making the hippie argument.
.@Timothy_Edgar Furthermore, you've simply ignored my very factual comment to PCLOB, dismissed it as presumptively "alarmist." No.
My point is simply that "about" collection was disclosed in 2013. That's my only point. Did not mean to offend.
"Some people didn't understand what they were told" is quite different from "they didn't tell us."
They didn't tell people who hadn't seen Snowden docs firsthand to notice the word play. @icontherecord
I even called PCLOB on same. So I'm sure it was deliberate. So can't be excused by neglect on part of privacy community.
