They aren't telling, and that may be telling on itself. Court approval apparently is needed but then Verizon hands all metadata every day, based on a court approval.

Expected, unless the leaked doc said "ignore court order" or "kill the Presi..." leaking is illegal.
The person that leaked this knew that he /she would be prosecuted, if... Let's hope that he took care not to leave any crumbs as he gave the info to the Guardian

True, if not for this http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/interactive/2013/jun/06/veri...
The order, signed by Judge Roger Vinson, compels Verizon to produce to the NSA electronic copies of "all call detail records or 'telephony metadata' created by Verizon for communications between the United States and abroad" or "wholly within the United States, including local telephone calls".
The order directs Verizon to "continue production on an ongoing daily basis thereafter for the duration of this order". It specifies that the records to be produced include "session identifying information", such as "originating and terminating number", the duration of each call, telephone calling card numbers, trunk identifiers, International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) number, and "comprehensive communication routing information".
This court order and the extremely wide net makes me believe the worst for the rest.

Wow! Just waiting for "directly doesn't mean direct access" excuse. He has posted the slide, and considering what happened with Verizon I am likely to believe that Google, Facebook and "we care about your privacy" Microsoft have given them just as much as Verizon. Or a lot, one way or another.
On another topic, oh to be a fly in the wall when Mr US Citizen Greenwald passes through JFK customs.

If Google says that Takeout has all your information stored on Google, and if NSA wants everything for Person X, why isn't this ideal?

giving preferential treatment to the places frequented by our social networking friends, the places we mention in our emails, the sites we look up on the search engine.
This all of the sudden looks like a nightmare to me, post NSA Prism. You aren't getting that info from me. Not Google, not Facebook.

To answer precisely: I have given more than $50 each to both ACLU and EFF in the past 10 years.

You are assuming I didn't write that $50 check.

It's a disgrace. Not to pick on any particular person, considering that Silicon Valley has dozens of billionaires and thousands of filthy rich people, but Sean Parker got lucky with Facebook and spent like $12.5m in a wedding (including a fine). It's their money and all, but can't these rich people also write a $1 million check to an org as important as EFF ?

Google has way more data from a million little things we online than it should have. The government can easily get it, it can leak, get hacked etc. If the data isn't archived, no one can ask for it. Simple as that.
