    Strange that Snowden, of all people, is assuming the NSA is waiting for this bill to pass to do this stuff rather than them having done it for a very long time already.

    Does he really think the NSA isn’t already spying on people through things like public wifi?

      My understanding is this will make public operators liable to participate. Like, they have to have infrastructure in place to do the recording for the NSA.

      Like, they could mandate back doors in all equipment.
