Laura Poitras—the Citizenfour director and award-winning filmmaker who helped start The Intercept’s parent company First Look Media—lashed out Wednesday after layoffs were announced internally at the publication, according to emails obtained by The Daily Beast. “I am sickened by your decision to eliminate the research team, which has been the beating heart of the newsroom since First Look Media was founded, and has overseen the protection of the [NSA leaker Edward] Snowden archive,” she wrote.

Federal Court Rules Government Broke the Law by Spying on ‘Millions of Americans,’ Credits Edward Snowden
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/federal-court-rules-government-broke-the-law-by-spying-on-millions-of-americans-credits-edward-snowden/ar-BB18EjOD
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday ruled that the U.S. government violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) by collecting the bulk phone records of millions of Americans.
Under the relevant section of the FISA law, the government is authorized to apply to the secret FISA Court for an “order requiring the production of any tangible things (including … records …) for an investigation to obtain foreign intelligence information not concerning a United States person or to protect against international terrorism or clandestine intelligence activities” but only if they include “a statement of facts showing that there are reasonable grounds to believe that the tangible things sought are relevant to an authorized investigation (other than a threat assessment).”

“En kadu mitään” – Tietovuotaja Edward Snowden on ollut maanpaossa jo 10 vuotta

Kymmenen vuotta sitten Edward Snowden paljasti journalisteille, miten Yhdysvaltain ja Iso-Britannian tiedustelupalvelut valvovat kansalaisia laaja-alaisesti. Nykyiseen tilanteeseen verrattuna vuoden 2013 vakoilu oli kuitenkin lastenleikkiä.
”Teknologiasta on tullut valtavan vaikutusvaltaista. Jos ajatellaan vuonna
2013 nähtyjä asioita ja nykypäivän hallitusten kyvykkyyksiä, 2013 näyttää lasten leikiltä”, Snowden sanoo The Guardianin tuoreessa haastattelussa.
