XKeyscore gives 'widest-reaching' collection of online data, NSA analysts require no prior authorization for searches, Sweeps up emails, social media activity and browsing history

A top secret National Security Agency program allows analysts to search with no prior authorization through vast databases containing emails, online chats and the browsing histories of millions of individuals, according to documents provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden. The NSA boasts in training materials that the program, called XKeyscore, is its "widest-reaching" system for developing intelligence from the internet. The latest revelations will add to the intense public and congressional debate around the extent of NSA surveillance programs. They come as senior intelligence officials testify to the Senate judiciary committee on Wednesday, releasing classified documents in response to the Guardian's earlier stories on bulk collection of phone records and Fisa surveillance court oversight.

It's interesting that ABC, which was initially blamed for Chalian's remark, was so quick to identify him as the culprit. They could have gone the NBC route and refused to say, insisting only that it was "someone who doesn't work for our news department."

Maybe they got enough grief for Brian Ross's insta-scapegoating of tea partiers after the Aurora shooting that they decided they weren't going to take any new heat from the right on this, even if that meant naming Chalian as the offender. Anyway, an important lesson here for the media: The next time you're riffing with your colleagues about how much Republicans hate minorities, check the mics in the room first. Or take Patrick Brennan's advice and jump to a network where the last tattered pretense of objectivity was discarded long ago...

Yahoo reporter Chris Wilson wrote about the progressive suppression of speech occurring at Twitter.

We confirmed with Twitter while dealing with Chris Loesch's individual suspended account that it was indeed due to users abusing the spam/block feature to suspend users with whom they disagree.
