"You Should Use Both" - How America's Internet Companies Are Handing Over Your Data To Uncle Sam
In the aftermath of the PRISM spying scandal, the first and logical response was an expected one: lie. The president did it, and so did the various companies implicated in the biggest US surveillance scandal ever exposed. To wit:
- Zuckerberg: "Facebook is not and has never been part of any program to give the US or any other government direct access to our servers."
- Google CEO Larry Page: "We have not joined any program that would give the US government – or any other government – direct access to our servers."
- Yahoo: "We do not provide the government with direct access to our servers, systems, or network."
One small problem: they are all lying.
The NYT explains just how the explicit handover of private customer data from Corporate Server X to NSA Server Y takes place.
The companies that negotiated with the government include Google, which owns YouTube; Microsoft, which owns Hotmail and Skype; Yahoo; Facebook; AOL; Apple; and Paltalk, according to one of the people briefed on the discussions. The companies were legally required to share the data under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. People briefed on the discussions spoke on the condition of anonymity because they are prohibited by law from discussing the content of FISA requests or even acknowledging their existence.
In at least two cases, at Google and Facebook, one of the plans discussed was to build separate, secure portals, like a digital version of the secure physical rooms that have long existed for classified information, in some instances on company servers. Through these online rooms, the government would request data, companies would deposit it and the government would retrieve it, people briefed on the discussions said.
...
Each of the nine companies said it had no knowledge of a government program providing officials with access to its servers, and drew a bright line between giving the government wholesale access to its servers to collect user data and giving them specific data in response to individual court orders. Each said it did not provide the government with full, indiscriminate access to its servers.
The companies said they do, however, comply with individual court orders, including under FISA. The negotiations, and the technical systems for sharing data with the government, fit in that category because they involve access to data under individual FISA requests. And in some cases, the data is transmitted to the government electronically, using a company’s servers.
“The U.S. government does not have direct access or a ‘back door’ to the information stored in our data centers,” Google’s chief executive, Larry Page, and its chief legal officer, David Drummond, said in a statement on Friday. “We provide user data to governments only in accordance with the law.” Statements from Microsoft, Yahoo, Facebook, Apple, AOL and Paltalk made the same distinction.
But instead of adding a back door to their servers, the companies were essentially asked to erect a locked mailbox and give the government the key, people briefed on the negotiations said. Facebook, for instance, built such a system for requesting and sharing the information, they said.
The data shared in these ways, the people said, is shared after company lawyers have reviewed the FISA request according to company practice. It is not sent automatically or in bulk, and the government does not have full access to company servers. Instead, they said, it is a more secure and efficient way to hand over the data.
Tech companies might have also denied knowledge of the full scope of cooperation with national security officials because employees whose job it is to comply with FISA requests are not allowed to discuss the details even with others at the company, and in some cases have national security clearance, according to both a former senior government official and a lawyer representing a technology company.
And there you have it: backdoors, locked (and not so locked mailboxes), and internal corporate firewalls in which some employees know everything that is going on and are used as a Chinese Wall scapegoat by everyone else who was shocked there is snooping going on here, SHOCKED.
Oh, and if that was not enough, here it is straight from the horse's mouth. Via the Guardian:
The slide, below, details different methods of data collection under the FISA Amendment Act of 2008 (which was renewed in December 2012). It clearly distinguishes Prism, which involves data collection from servers, as distinct from four different programs involving data collection from "fiber cables and infrastructure as data flows past".
Essentially, the slide suggests that the NSA also collects some information under FAA702 from cable intercepts, but that process is distinct from Prism.
Analysts are encouraged to use both techniques of data gathering.
"You Should Use Both." You know: just in case only one is insufficient to make a mocker of all personal rights and civil liberties.

Only rogue states and their unjustly governments need any sort of surveillance on their citizens . Draw a line, any snooping is illegal activity and if .gov does it to you, it is domestic terrorism .
Snooping & Surveillance is in the DNA of cheesepopes [& therefore, by proxy, a nation whose motto is "One nation, under cheesepopes, divisible, without liberty, but JUST US for cheesepopes"]...
Something here about the definition of fascism.

It seems that the point of all these revelations is that people are supposed to be frightened to post their thoughts expressing disatisfaction on the web.
Be afraid.

Pretty much your entire history is there for everyone to see.
I know, i experience the void in real life as well.
Most people wouldn't believe if i explained it to them, the ones that would have probably already witnessed it.
My favorite part is that everyone sees a different internet but don't generally seem to realize it, i won't go into the depths of censorship and misdirection, but it's blatantly obvious.
I have no idea how many people will read the text as i entered it, or as they are supposed to see it. And I'm not talking about interpretation in this context.
Edit: The pipl search turned up nothing on me, same as with google. All the others... On my end at least.
Facebook and Google were probably an intelligence operation made to look like an idea of some nerd. Microsoft probably was too.
Now personally I'm not much of an Illuminati conspiracy fan however...
Is it only me who thinks the PRISM symbol just soooo slightly resembles the PYRAMID with the light rays coming out of the top of it on that you find on our FRNs?

The Apathy Factor
Anybody who made a remedial effort to do any research at all about the "snooping" could have discovered all this information easily. People don't care. In fact, until the left discovered that they are not immune to the jack boot of their side's tyranny they were silent. The Tyrant's bite the hand that feeds them. It all comes from the corrupt political forces that demand there is no form of "privacy" on the interenet. That there is no "implied expectation of privacy" like with a land line phone call. How did this happen? It was fabricated so folks like Google could snoop to build a data base to provide effective and targeted advertising. After all, if you had to agree to let them monitor you, they might have to pay you. But the way it is now, you have to "opt-out" which is merely a way of confirming that you exist and are not another algo floating around. What a surprise when .gov got their hands on all this and decided how cool it was. Has any Senator or Congressman ever produced a piece of legislation that made privacy on the internet possible?
It's called CORRUPTION.
Some good news: the Google propaganda movie "The Internship" is bombing at the box office!
Google must wonder if the PRISM news broke at the wrong time.
Aside, Mr. Schmidt looks like an Indiana Jones character. Yup, that one.
Following the American coverage of this is nauseating. Keep hearing about how it's 'no big deal.' Has history class been verboten in America for the past couple decades?
A lot of this seems to come back to an extreme historical illiteracy.
We are now here:
“...out from the door of the farmhouse came a long file of pigs, all walking on their hind legs...out came Napoleon himself, majestically upright, casting haughty glances from side to side, and with his dogs gambolling round him.
He carried a whip in his trotter.
There was a deadly silence. Amazed, terrified, huddling together, the animals watched the long line of pigs march slowly round the yard. It was as though the world had turned upside-down. Then there came a moment when the first shock had worn off and when, in spite of everything-in spite of their terror of the dogs, and of the habit, developed through long years, of never complaining, never criticising, no matter what happened-they might have uttered some word of protest. But just at that moment, as though at a signal, all the sheep burst out into a tremendous bleating of-
"Four legs good, two legs better! Four legs good, two legs better! Four legs good, two legs better!"
It went on for five minutes without stopping. And by the time the sheep had quieted down, the chance to utter any protest had passed, for the pigs had marched back into the farmhouse.”
- George Orwell, Animal Farm
pipl doesn't have *all* the information on you
https://pipl.com/search/?q=barack+soetero
1) most americans pick animal farm for being the shortest book in the reading list and pictures of animals
2) most opt for the cliff notes instead
3) then just watch 5min cliff notes video on youtube instead
4) believe that it is a weird story about farm animals and questions why do they have to waste time at school on shit like that when they could be watching some celeb on TV
5) few realizes that it was about communism, but eerily describes US "capitalism" today. Their destiny is to become Snowball or sell out and join Napoleon.

Few realize it was about communism hopefully because they know better (it was NOT about communism).
As someone writing disparagingly about American ignorance when you clearly don't know the subject you're referring to you'd do well to go back and re-read Animal Farm and then spend some time reading Orwell's other works, particularly his essays.

They been doing this shit for decades. My only question is: Why is this now becoming MSM fodder?
because Obama wanted to cut defense budget and media wants more wars to reign in viewers back from independent internet shows.
nothing like a major crisis to hook sheep's attention on TV instead of questioning the status quo.
People are finally realizing that they are the target. If you disagree with someone in government they will make your life hell and you have no recourse. There is no justice. Too big to fail banks with too big to jail banksters.

HMMMMMMMMMMM, just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you.
"One small problem: they are all lying." No, really they're not lying. They access Google through AOL, and AOL through Yahoo, and ..... indirect access.
GOOD MORNING EFFEN NSA
I literally get conflicting information if i use differing devices on my Facebook account. As far as i know only a couple of people have tried to contact me through it for at least a year, if not much longer, my "activity log" or whatever is blank.. Which based on their own faq and statement shouldn't be possible.
I have witnessed specific devices being mid stream targeted(alternate group propaganda targeting(and not just "smart"devices)) to effect key social nodes (people) during the height of the change over, and yet people seem generally unaware that it even happened.
This is why i say I'm fairly certain I'll be tortured, also why people will be compelled or convinced that i am a schizophrenic , like that guy who tried to out his wife in Germany;been in an insane asylum since 2007, put in jail then subsequently committed based on her testimony that he assaulted her, now information has come to light that what he asserted the bank was doing was in fact true...
On Reddit recently, look it up.
What I'm trying to say is that this goes way beyond censorship, and is already in the stage of targeted social programming and control.
Eventually it will be used to remove or isolate undesireable, troublesome or even merely nonconforming elements from society.
Just what till your account unexpectedly creates it's own history... no-one will ever knowingly associate again with someone who accesses kiddy-porn you know...

oHHHH SHIT, ADDICTED To zh....and now paranoid (ok, always benn a tad paranoid).
I told my spouse that if i don't show up someday she is to contact websites like this one, and others to get the word out, and to notify..., ..., ..., and my brother.
HELLO effen NSA, how do you people sleep at night and live with yourselves?
Note that ZH keeps its server and email FAR away from US jurisdiction? And remember how often Simon Black (ex Army Intelligence) has advised us to do the same?
Now do you ppl finally get the importance of doing everything you can to reclaim your Constitutional Rights To Privacy?
I intend to do my part. Google, Yahoo, MS, Utube... You've sold me out for the last time. And I've been wise to FB since day 1.
Great, smart guy - but you still are caught. They copy/store every bit that goes thru an internet backbone, or wired/wireless phone network. They also have every electronic record of credit/debit cards and checks.
With all communications records and all financial records, everyone is in their net. As facial recognition gets better and better, your whereabouts will be known even more closely. Notice all those cameras everywhere?
why are people so afraid? don't ya wanna be the first in line when .gov is handing out barcodes on your head? personally, i hate waiting in line.
i present my hand so that the beasts bloodlust may be temporarily satiated, while the pantheon musters their strength for the final battle.
Let them brand me, as long as the act makes their intentions obvious.
I would hope others would not do the same, and instead solidify understanding with those they care for.
And a shout out to the warriors in turkey. I hope that you find peace, and pray for those who you have lost.
I of course am crazy so just go about your business, everything is fine.

No Result Found for Barack Obama, Washingto, DC, US
So Bin Laden won then I guess....
He did browse Facebook for the original usage of "hot or not" to take a break away from world domination ops in Pakistan.
Ironically. Bin Laden may have used PROMIS as well as our friends in Israel:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inslaw
Inslaw, Inc. is a small, Washington, D.C.-based, information technology company. In the mid-1970s, Inslaw developed for the United States Department of Justice a highly efficient, people-tracking, computer program known as Prosecutor's Management Information System (Promis). Inslaw's principal owners, William Anthony Hamilton and his wife, Nancy Burke Hamilton, later sued the United States Government (acting as principal to the Department of Justice) for not complying with the terms of the Promis contract and for refusing to pay for an enhanced version of Promis once delivered. This allegation of software piracy led to three trials in separate federal courts and two congressional hearings.
During ensuing investigations, the Department of Justice was accused of deliberately attempting to drive Inslaw into Chapter 7 liquidation; and of distributing and selling stolen software for covert intelligence operations of foreign governments such as Canada, Israel, Singapore, Iraq, Egypt, and Jordan; and of becoming directly involved in murder.
Later developments implied that derivative versions of Enhanced Promis sold on the black market may have become the high-tech tools of worldwide terrorists such as Osama Bin Laden and international money launderers and thieves.
Never forget Danny. One of the many "suicides" in our American dreamscape.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Casolaro
Yeah... When I started reading back through all the Inslaw/Promis/Echelon stuff from 20 years ago, I remembered Danny Casolaro.
Committed suicide with like 12 slashes across each wrist, after explicitly telling friends and family that he was onto something huge, and that if he died it wouldn't be an accident or suicide.
RIP Danny. I guess investigating Big Brother just made you terminally depressed. I know it does me.
"So Bin Laden won then I guess...."
Never in doubt. However, this misses the big picture -- Bin Laden was a pawn to enable this military industial take over of the US and world.
Chilling effect anyone?
But rest assured the politicians in black dresses in the judiciary will protect us from such egregious and blatant violations of law and the Constitution.
Good thing company lawyers are beyond reproach ;-)
"The data shared in these ways, the people said, is shared after >>>company lawyers<<< have reviewed the FISA request according to company practice."

Bingo Pinto!
Fear fear fear and more fear...how are you going to handle it is an every day test for those who live in the land of the free. Comes in the every night church on the mind control TV. Obey!!!!
What is happening is more and more people are seeing the lies and deceptions as big as bold and everywhere people know what is going on. They are not happy as the multitudes grow. No matter what those crazy babylonians do, and if they are crazy enough to fire the first shot, or perpetuate another false flag event, it will not bode well for those who put theses evil shows on. Prolly after the bilduhburger gaggling gathers, some sort of something could come OR, the new orders to make peace world wide to prepare for the really big show that is well beyond mans, or the babylonians control is going to take place. There is going to be a lot more exposure of all this corruption coming soon in these beginnings of the house cleaning processes for a better transparent, and Rule of Law world future. Hedge that!
Live well folks and do all you can in your worldly powers to bring forth the new peace and reconciliation of all sides. It is well known that it takes only one to change a world into a better place. DO IT NOW!
Bingo, they all used these words, "direct access". Very telling. I work in IT, no one needs "DIRECT access" to gather data.
NSA developed and provide the basic software to both Google and Facebook.
Google, Facebook, and Yahoo are all owned and controlled by zionist interests who always go "overboard".
Any more questions?
key word "direct".
as if NSA logs into Facebook database with sys admin login? There is so much low level data they don't even know what to make of it. They need FB analyst to help them interpret machine data. they probably found 1,000,000 references to bin laden, 1,000 fake bin laden photos and profiles, etc.
problem today is not lack of information, but too much info.
15 years ago Verint worked on algorithms to sort this data. Servers sifting through servers turning up patterns and parcing data to usuable leads. That was 15 years ago when I was a white hat.
A certain Palo Alto giant whose acronym can be derived from the words 'horing prostitutes' owns not only unbelievably large amounts of the internet backbone, but also acres of blade servers.
I'll bet the Treasury buys their ink too, if he actually have to print hard fiat.
LOL! But true.
At least it is polite.
It tells you it is doing a 'system-check' on your laptop (never finds anything wrong, surprisingly)
Exactly!.... they all said that the government does not have "direct access"....they could've said the government doesn't have access, but they all qualified the statement.....so the government does have ACCESS, just not directly
Asswipes, the whole lot
I'll go one further. The government has its own servers with their own 'front doors' for all carrier traffic, so no 'direct-access' to other servers necessary.
IN-Direct rather than direct, so they are just playing with words. They still have the FULL access they require, but they employ one or more proxies. Maybe the IT Hardware Companies (they will have data links to their systems as part of their mantenence / failure management programme), or even "superficially innocent" links via, say A/C or other Infrastructure SCADA, which all share the same network backbone (cables, switches etc.) so are "exposed" to all traffic flows.
Just becasue it's not "supposed" to happen does not mean that things WILL NOT happen.
Interesting "developments" in the UK - seems the Conservative Government was probably very aware of "sharing of data", so they have been just as disingenuous as their US counterparts. Wonder who else might have been "helping out" ?? Time will tell, and it'll be interesting to see just how large an oil-barrel full of worms this'll turn out to be.
I guess we now know why the US Govt got so pissy at Mega-upload.
Kim Dotcom wouldn't give them access to his servers.
Anyone who has a brain realizes someone is watching on the net. Nothing new. Be careful what you post.
Should anyone track, know, analyze, and store in your individual profile for some potential future use all your communications, contacts, transactions, movements? Your children's?
Should your Gubmint? Why are they?
That it has been and is doing so must be the biggest scandal in this country's history. Name a bigger scandal.
This Gubmint must be audited, scoured clean, pared back, reformed, and made open and accountable.
First step is to remove Obama. He simply must go. Then begin the audit/investigation and go from there. It will take years.
And yet we could not even get a glimpse of Obama's real birth certificate or college transcripts.
Oh, the irony.....
Agreed. But then we couldn't see Bush's military record either. Remember how it had to be sanitized, etc?
Ironically, I don't remember the idiots who voted for him being terribly upset about that one. You get what you vote for and what you fund.
Obama, Bush.... doesn't matter. It's the Wizard behind the curtain. Forget Dem or Repub think system control.
Overload the sytem. How? Bogus intel and lots of it. System constipation DOS permanently.
...and who shall select the auditors?

The IRS prepares to enforce Obamacare’s contraception mandate. [on religious institutions.]
On August 1, the one-year “safe harbor” for religious charities objecting to provisions of Obamacare will end. Starting then, these nonprofit employers will be forced to violate their religious beliefs or pay large fines. In charge of collecting the fines will be our recently newsworthy friends at the Internal Revenue Service.

Regardless of what your opinions are of contraception, this should just make you want to go check and clean the arsenal.

Only three hits for "Eric Schmidt coprophagiac" ... but this makes four.

I thinks it's called "appropriate oversight."
Now it's starting to make sense. They are all involved, using the ISP's to determine who to go after, using the IRS to inflict maximum tyrannical pain on those whom the White House deemed as enemies, (That would be everyone in the country right now).

The dead giveaway was when Google's Page needed his General Counsel with him for the statement.

“But,” the post concludes, “the level of secrecy around the current legal procedures undermines the freedoms we all cherish.”
isn't that cute....freedoms we all cherish
he put a cherry on top
fuck you Larry
It's amazing these cocksuckers can keep a straight face spewing that propaganda.
Because they think the majority do not care. And they are right.
Just remember, it was a minoritiy of Americans that freed us from British Rule. The majority could have gone either way.
If they do not play along, they, their families, and their fortunes will be destroyed.
If only they and their fortunes are considered, they are cowards.
Add in the families, and it becomes a lot more difficult to focus/define.
Which makes just about everyone blackmailable, if the people doing the blackmail are that ruthless (which they are).
Congratulations Larry Page, you just made it on to the guillotine list!
Where you headed (pun unintended) now, Disneyworld?

On Friday, Mattel's executive vice president for worldwide operations, Thomas Debrowski, met with the Chinese product safety chief Li Changjiang, to apologize for the company's own weak safety controls. "Our reputation has been damaged lately by these recalls," Mr. Debrowski told Li. "And Mattel takes full responsibility for these recalls and apologizes personally to you, the Chinese people, and all of our customers who received the toys."
And soon the Polish army will invade Germany, and Hitler will reluctanty have to retaliate. What a fucking pathetic world we live in. These cocksuckers (my apologies to Michael Douglas) actually think they are doing good.
+1 for remembering real history
"...actually think they are doing good."
I beg to differ.
These criminal socialpathic scumbags don't give one iota of a shit about anyone but themselves--they can't.
Go and watch the Pelosi, "We have to pass it to see what's in it," video. Does anyone honestly think that such a piece of shit that could say such a thing "thinks they are doing good?" And let's not forget "Bring it on," Bush and "known knowns," Rumsfeld.
Or put another way, does anyone truly believe that the Nazi government was staffed by people that thought "they were doing good?" "Mein Herr, let's do some good today and invade Russia, build some camps and reduce Europe's population some." LOL
In other words, hidden in plain sight.
So, the NSA builds the largest data centers in a state, and the rest of Fascist Inc tries to tell us it's merely a locked mailbox.
What are the data retention policies, who precisely has the key and who is watching them?
Nobody that's fucking who.
Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?
Some years ago I used to like ICQ as an I'M provider. Then, when I learned that the Israeli company that owned it, had sold it to the US, I jumped ship: I smelled a Mossad/CIA rat. And I've avoided all IM like the plague since then.
Date and porn sites are also THE worst for picking up all sorts of nasty STDs: Software-Transmitted Diseases.
"Direct Access"
Weasel words of the week.
You honor, my client never allowed that fourteen year old "direct access" to his legal briefs

America has become one BIG LIE.
In many ways it always has been. It's just that the thin veneer has become worn and discolored and the fascism underneath is showing thru. The US is and always was just another version of the slave plantation. We slaves were just treated better than most. That is ending.
Excellent observation CD.
On Barky's plantation, the slaves get Obamaphones.
So Ol' Massah can listen in and find out if they're plotting against their owners.

“Money is a new form of slavery, and distinguishable from the old simply by the fact that it is impersonal - that there is no human relation between master and slave.”
-Leo Tolstoy
“While boasting of our noble deeds, we are careful to conceal the ugly fact that by our iniquitous money system we have nationalized a system of oppression which, though more refined, is not less cruel than the old system of chattel slavery.”
-Horace Greely -1872, in writing his opinion of the National Banking Act.
"Gold is the money of kings, silver is the money of gentlemen, barter is the money of peasants – but debt is the money of slaves."
–Norm Franz, Money and Wealth in the New Millennium
“There are two ways to conquer and enslave a country. One is by the sword. The other is by debt.”
-John Adams
"When the end result of all our technology, learning and philosophy is a failure to develop liberty and fulfillment or worse, the complete and utter intransience of a social system that has all the hallmarks of slavery being perpetuated forever, should we not question whether there is a source point that controls humanity?”.
-Unknown – Zerohedge
Governments are human livestock management systems.
May I paraphrase?
End the FED.
And: End usury. End fractional reserve banking. Justice means that which has been stolen must be returned.
And the Soviet Union collapsed before us because we lie better than they did.
Could be because their bankers did not serve Mammon nor worship to Lucifer (the misunderstood archangel) as much as our bankers did.
......."has become"......or..........fully actualized.......no need to use past tense.....it always has been
just ask carl lewis, lance armstrong, marion jones and on and on....they know, they're the embodiment of a culture based on lies, deceit, cheating, theft, graft and on and on. It shows up not just in finance, politics, corporations but everywhere in the american culture.
The hypocrisy would be laughable if it wasnt so sad. We tell the world they cant have wmd's, drones, cyber weapons and here we are as the biggest proliferator of all 3. I love my fellow Americans, but until they realize that staying silent on the atrocities caused by our government is the same as endorsing it, I have very little hope to stop heading down this road to totalitarianism.
"...lthe and of the free and the home of the brave." LOL
Hell everyone here had to at least assume that Skynet was getting every word of every post, search, comment, review, e-mail, whatever. They make their living by "spying" but it is all voluntary on our part.
Everyone has to eat, dude. So get a proper job, ya bunch of voyeuristic pricks!
I did not have sex with that woman, Miss Lewinsky.
I did not shoot the victim one single time.
We do not give the government direct access to any information on our servers.
We do not give any government direct access to anything on our servers.
I never fucked her, the condom fucked her. We never let them have direct access, we insisted they use a rubber. You know, seperation of powers.
Words are what I say they mean. When I decide they mean something else then they do. If you use those words to mean what you want them to mean, you can do that too. When I answer you, it is from what I want the words to mean, regardless of how you take what I say.

This nation's "leaders" and their sponsors have become so intoxicated with power they have become the enemy of any honest person.
Go Galt, starve the beast.
Do we even have a government anymore, or just a gang of psycho killerz?
Ah, but his polymer firewall was of inferior quality, as his macro code was leaked in data bursts onto her domain.
He did not 'intentionally' provide this direct access to his data.
It depends on what the meaning of "is" is.
It was only a modest encroachment.
They are not providing.... Direct access. But 'other' access is allowed.
