Is there any hard proof that marijuana prices have been affected by the availability of medical marijuana? Further north they certainly haven't (medical marijuana sells for more ), and the same people end up distributing both kinds to

You seem to be conflating PRISM with NSA's entire SIGINT operation, I see a lot of people doing that. PRISM is one out of 504 programs that collectively obtain vast amounts of information (approximately 350 billion telephone and intern

Section 702 was written, and has been interpreted, to have very few restrictions. 1) It bars the NSA from collecting data on people unless "reasonably believed to be located outside the United States."[1] Data can be intentionally

Error in 2nd to last paragraph: bars the NSA from collecting data on people unless ... i.e. excluding Americans from collection vs excluding non-Americans.

From my reading I understand that the comment on being able to wiretap absolutely anyone was on the basis that he was a sysadmin. He had write access to databases of people who's communications were to be intercepted in full and could

tl;dr citation 9. If nothing else, read that. Great article. The massive scale of the NSA's operations are hardly being disputed (logging of US-based backbones, underwater cables, foreign fiber, telephone records), what is up for debat

I'm 20 now, and I think I'm smart. When I was 15 I did as well, but now I think I was pretty stupid at the time. No doubt the pattern will continue at 25.

Do you know more than I do about Microsoft's disclosures to the US Government (effectively nothing) or is it an educated guess that what they receive is comparable with MAPP?

How would he know what are lies? He isn't on the Senate Intelligence Committee, the 15 people in Congress privileged enough to know the truth.

"the NSA does not use that program to keep geolocation data" How does this mesh with the Verizon court order specifically demanding trunk identifiers for calls, which can be resolved to geographical locations for cell phones?

What makes you think PRISM collects data about everyone? BLARNEY/FAIRVIEW are their "upstream data collection" programs. PRISM isn't one of their dragnets, so it confuses me that people are only talking about it. And wha

According to the Guardian article that broke the news, "[a] 2005 court ruling judged that cell site location data – the nearest cell tower a phone was connected to – was also transactional data, and so could potentially fall under the
