In NSA-intercepted data, those not targeted far outnumber the foreigners who are - The Washington Post
Ordinary Internet users, American and
non-American alike, far outnumber legally targeted foreigners in the
communications intercepted by the National Security Agency from U.S.
digital networks, according to a four-month investigation by The Washington Post.
Nine of 10 account holders found in a large cache of intercepted
conversations, which former NSA contractor Edward Snowden provided in
full to The Post, were not the intended surveillance targets but were
caught in a net the agency had cast for somebody else.
