And as soon as you are not in the U.S. or aren't the citizen, they don't need any order at all, not even the broad one, it's lawful for security agencies to get as much as they can and for Google to not even log which queries were made. Google can even help agencies by automatically informing them if the "target" fits "free to access" criteria. And everybody is still not breaking the law. Moreover, the amount of belief by agency that the data are "free to access" is enough to be only 51% to make it lawful. Please write if you know more nuanced details about these limitations. Everybody should be informed about the laws, that's why they exist and why they are called laws. |

The NSA is not allowed to spy on Americans.
ASIO is not allowed to spy on Australians.
But what if the NSA gave the PRISM tech and data feed to ASIO so ASIO could spy on Americans and answer any question the NSA asks (and vice versa).
Now neither intelligence service has an 'illegal wiretap' on their own citizens. They just receive 'foreign intelligence' from each other.
Now mix in every other 'friendly' state and there's a massive worldwide mesh of data gathering that's all legal .. in the strictest sense of the word.
(I feel like I should put my tinfoil hat on .. but since this has broken I'm fairly sure they're futile)
