A lot remains uncertain about the number of users affected by the NSA PRISM surveillance program
that is taking place, the extent to which companies are involved, and
how the NSA handles this sensitive data. Does the NSA regularly collect
and examine a huge swath of the cloud communications of American and
foreign Internet users? Does the agency present evidence and seek
careful judicial review to obtain limited amounts of user data related
to individual investigations? Or is the answer somewhere in the middle,
with queries being constructed such that algorithms scan most or all of
the accounts, identifying a smaller set of "interesting" accounts whose
contents are sent to the NSA?
