I'd have to double check but I don't think that PPD-28 rule is limited to comms content?

First of all, not only one who "collected" that 500M person database is Belan, not RU G.
@jacklgoldsmith -
But if you collect in bulk for any of permitted purposes, you collect in bulk on everyone.
@jacklgoldsmith -
you can collect in bulk generally but then only use for limited purposes
@jacklgoldsmith -
How many of those targets do you think US couldn't invent an espionage, cyber, or intl crime purpose for?
@jacklgoldsmith -
true, probably very many. PPD-28 but I think the relative limits worth noting, could be good model for others
@jacklgoldsmith -
By then Trump will have scrapped it anyway (no way of knowing whether he already has, in fact)
@jacklgoldsmith -
& other countries will point AT THIS INDICTMENT and show how much more spying US does via Yahoo than RU.
