Verizon Ordered To Provide All Customer Data To NSA

Posted by samzenpus on from the do-you-hear-what-I-hear dept.

Rick Zeman writes "According to Wired, an order by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court '...requires Verizon to give the NSA metadata on all calls within the U.S. and between the U.S. and foreign countries on an "ongoing, daily basis" for three months.' Unlike orders in years past, there's not even the pretense that one of the parties needed to be in a foreign country. It is unknown (but likely) that other carriers are under the same order."

    Correction, we don't LEGALLY KNOW what Bush' DOJ requested.. Because they claimed an order like this was a secret by itself and revealing the order was breaching national security.,

    This is probably the routine data scoop that's been going on since '02.

    Because they are journalists and finally get to pretend they think this is wrong... Because their corporate masters got a grudge against Obama and enough friends in Congress to prevent Obama from retaliating like Bush did..
