Readit News(Now, I would have preferred a Lattice ICE40 FPGA as opposed to the Xilinx Spartan II XC2S100 FPGA, simply because the ICE40 toolchain is entirely open source (https://prjicestorm.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) but that's a very minor (less than 1%) extremely small "nitpick" -- on what should be praised and lauded as some truly great work!)
Anyway, to repeat, I absolutely love it!
Upvoted and favorited!
Well done!
People read this and think that US government had unhindered access to all data in major providers.
According to Edward Snowden, PRISM allowed the government to compel internet companies to turn over any data that matched specific court-approved search terms. such as email addresses, all under Section 702 of the FISA Amendments Act of 2008.
At least some parts of it were likely unconstitutional as it could target U.S. persons, but it was not free for all as "straight access" indicates. It was straight access after FISA court approval.
NSA runs much more invasive MUSCULAR program in the UK without FISA or other type warrant.
