According to the report, data was only \u201cacquired\u201d or \u201cobtained\u201d when someone searched and retrieved that data from the NSA database. Therefore, the actual collection of communications didn\u2019t require any warrant, because it wasn\u2019t considered \u201cacquired\u201d or \u201cobtained\u201d until someone searched for the information. Using these definitions, the NSA could collect data on everyone.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ed struggled with everything he read in the report as he realized the implications.<\/strong> He had known the NSA\u2019s goal was to keep intelligence forever and he\u2019d even helped build a system that would help them store it.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because most of the Internet is based in the US or owned by American companies, <strong>Operation STELLAR WIND affected nearly everyone in the world.<\/strong><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The NSA, STELLAR WIND, and Mass Surveillance<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As usual, Ed wrote scripts to do all his work for him so he could use his time to do whatever he liked, which was to learn more about mass surveillance programs. He wanted to confirm mass surveillance was happening and learn all the technical details on how it was achieved. <strong>Ed knew he wouldn\u2019t be able to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/be-decisive\/\">make a decision<\/a> on what to do about Operation STELLAR WIND until he understood exactly how everything worked.<\/strong> He wanted to know if the NSA was doing all the surveillance it was capable of doing, and who knew about it and approved it.&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Ed Decides to Act<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After reviewing the Constitution in 2012, Ed decided he had to act. Ed determined that, as used by the NSA, STELLAR WIND violated the Fourth Amendment. He decided to get in touch with journalists and share the top secret documents that proved the existence of the US\u2019s mass surveillance program and Operation STELLAR WIND . <strong>Ed decided he was going to leak the intelligence community\u2019s original documents rather than simply describe STELLAR WIND to the press.<\/strong>&nbsp;<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Meeting Journalists in Hong Kong<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ed was in Hong Kong, but the journalists weren\u2019t. He knew <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/glenn-greenwald-edward-snowden-laura-poitras\/\">Laura Poitras<\/a>, who already had some documents, was definitely interested in meeting, but she wasn\u2019t coming until she\u2019d convinced Glenn Greenwald to come too. This was very stressful for Ed\u2014if the NSA figured out what Ed was up to before he could share his documents, the world would never find out about STELLAR WIND.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Operation STELLAR WIND?
