A rights advocate said, “This is like the CIA putting out a statement saying that going forward they’ll only waterboard people with dignity and respect.”

        Not even leaked, just declassified. It’s basically a press statement saying “oh we’re chill now please store your data in the US”

    I mean, if they’re going to do it either way I’d rather a spy agency have this attitude than not. Silver linings and all that.

    And before you smash those reactionary fingers on the screen/keyboard, I should be clear that Ed Snowden is a national hero and the NSA should, in an idealistic sense, be abolished. Will it? No.

      I dig the latter part of the statement, but that first half bugs me. Shouldn’t they have a warrant in order to monitor someone to an extent where this needs to be stated?

        Yeah we need to fix our “third party” data collection laws probably more at the source of the problem. Third parties like ISPs, platforms, and other companies part of the surveillance economy have too many rights to collect and distribute PII and to few legal and technical protections for people’s privacy.

    In other words: please stop making poker card decks out of all the firehose of nudes that you’re stealing from people’s messages every day.
