The NSA can store communications of US citizens for up to 5 years, sans warrant
Why is everyone fretting about US citizens?a) Thinking the NSA and other intelligence organizations would really make the distinction between US and non-US citizens, except in the scope that public opinion doesn't instantly crush them, doesn't seem like something they'd actually be likely to do.b) 95% of the earths population are outside of the USA, Facebook alone has a user count higher than 3 times the total US population.Really, the distinction is completely meaningless for this discussion. The only effect it has is alienating non-US citizens because it makes it seem like US citizens are only concerned about themselves.I also think the focus on the US surveillance apparatus might not be the way to go either, things like the upcoming Indian surveillance system belong to the very same discussion.
