Can’t read the WSJ NSA article? The juicy bits…
The groundbreaking new article on the NSA’s domestic spying is behind a paywall. Here’s the basics:
WSJ: NSA can vacuum up “roughly 75% of all U.S. Internet traffic.” Retains “contents of emails.” Yep. http://t.co/ttuZMvaAEw

Flashback: Remember when the NSA said, “Don’t worry we only ‘touch’ 1.6% of the internet” (only like 126 Facebooks!)? Well, now it’s revealed that they “have the capacity to spy on 75% of all U.S. traffic.” FOX has most of the details on the WSJ story: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/08/21/nsa-surveillance-reach-broader-than-publicly-acknowledged/

NSA says they have no idea what Snowden took & they have tight controls and oversight. Really? http://t.co/wUqCSCXzXW
