They're not exclusively separate. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PRISM_(surveillance_program) FISx has been authorizing both bulk untargeted for mining and individual targets. NSA has the taps and compartments to do whatever anyone wants. Lesser companies, entities, and individuals are routinely happy patriots to kiss ass and simply give data to governments and others literally for the asking, or for the money, or the power, retroactive immunity, deregulation, hookers and blow. "Though we can't show you any results... classified, trust us, it's working." Pathetic. > AT&T, on the other > hand, gave the government its own room with access to all the data coming > through their datacenters and let them do whatever they wanted. AT&T was just the one you heard about. Where there's one, there's more, like with juicy government services contracts. Then there's Qwest's Nacchio who tried to fight but got selectively prosecuted, gitmo'd, and replaced by AT&T's Notebaert. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Nacchio http://www.bizjournals.com/denver/news/2013/09/27/wall-street-journal-interviews.html http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702303983904579093173797712780 http://m.wsj.net/video/20130927/092713hubpmnacchio/092713hubpmnacchio_v2_ec664k.mp4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OIn-xSdsM5U https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RnYyvHg8VrI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vuAf8Hc6ns0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAcbfzNJ43U Must watch... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8um6lImuWQ > they push back on warrants > they think are too broad Such benevolence and independant review, users should thank their lucky stars. > publish transparency reports detailing everything > they can US 1st amendment says they're not detailing what they can.

Long after they're in prison and unable to defend themselves against secret law, evidence, and actions.
