Yahoo email surveillance: who approved the secret scanning program? - https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/oct/06/yahoo-email-surveillance-government-nsa-fisa
Summary:
Yahoo have been said to be broadcast content but no sure for whom, the FBI and Fisa court are potentials. This isn't the first time a related technique has been use it was before used to scan emails of potential child abusers by the FBI. It also is used to show the 'signatures' of terrorist users and groups. Goitein said. “So it’s not meant for mass surveillance at all. If Fisa is being used for mass surveillance that creates a whole other problem.” Other corporations, such as Facebook, use PhotoDNA to recognize images that disrupt their terms of service, not always with success. On the other hand the government seems to see no harm in these sorts of interruptions even if individuals question how images of abuse are illegal to possess and distribute; yet it’s not illegal to talk to terrorists.
[] The government appears to have undertaken the program under the law in 2015 even as Congress was attempting to roll back surveillance of American citizens.
My opinion:
This appears to highlight the issue of NDM developing at a rapid pace but the laws and regulations of states not catching up on time. Regardless of my opinion on the case not disagreeing too much with the government, that having this kind of information on people that can harm the working of society isn't such a negative thing, I do believe that the government should make this obvious for consumers by not only counting it in their terms and conditions but also their laws and regulations.
