First, it's bizarre that @NSAGov allow no replies.
Second, NSA has used this same deceit for years: they can spy on US citizens' communications without "targeting" the American.
Third, NSA has extremely broad authorities to collect communications without "targeting" a person.https://twitter.com/NSAGov/status/1410025399032193027 …
I'm in no way ratifying or supporting the claim that NSA collected the communications of Carlson or any Fox host, simply because I don't know. But what I know for sure is that this is NSA's non-denial denial, using the same false framework they always use to mislead the public.
Back in 2013, using the NSA's top secret documents, I reported in detail how the NSA collects, stores and monitors Americans' communications without a warrant and without "targeting" the American, which is all NSA denies that it did:https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/20/fisa-court-nsa-without-warrant …
Here's another article we reported at the height of the Snowden reporting. The NSA constantly lies about the FISA process. It has broad authorities to collect Americans' communications -- and often does -- without "targeting" that person:https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2013/jun/19/fisa-court-oversight-process-secrecy …
And just FYI: the Pentagon just suspended a pro-Trump security official for "unauthorized disclosure of classified information" from the NSA -- meaning, presumably, that she leaked NSA activities to someone she wasn't supposed to talk to about it:https://twitter.com/clearing_fog/status/1409920229040295936 …
This is what you do when you're a security state agency designed to lie to the public, and you don't want anyone to see the debunking of the misleading claims and propaganda you post. Just bizarre:pic.twitter.com/niw8cgLLKU
CNN and NBC personalities who never heard of "incidental" collection and couldn't spell FISA let alone explain it are out in force demanding everyone believe that the NSA's statement constitutes a meaningful denial (it doesn't) & should be uncritically accepted. They're StateTV.
More points about the NSA/Carlson matter beyond what I noted above. Amazing timing: NYT today reports there are serious questions about the Oversight Board's review of how NSA collects and reads Americans' communications *without warrants or targeting*:https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/29/us/politics/nsa-xkeyscore-privacy.html …
As that NYT article notes, the controversy is about the program I first reported in 2013 called XKEYSCORE, a gigantic data base of internet communications that NSA agents can and do use to search communications without warrants. Our original reporting:https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jul/31/nsa-top-secret-program-online-data …
didn’t they also deny the Snowden allegations?
