  • Jus Algoritmi: How the NSA Remade Citizenship
    Extended Abstract Jus Algoritmi: How the NSA Remade Citizenship John Cheney-Lippold 1 1 University of Michigan / 500 S State St, Ann Arbor, MI 48109, United States of America / [email protected] Introduction It was the summer of 2013, and two discrete events were making analogous waves. First, Italy’s Minister for Integration, Cécile Kyenge was pushing for a change in the country’s citizenship laws. After a decades-long influx of immigrants from Asia, Africa, and Eastern Europe, the country’s demographic identity had become multicultural. In the face of growing neo-nationalist fascist movements in Europe, Kyenge pushed for a redefinition of Italian citizenship. She asked the state to abandon its practice of jus sanguinis, or citizenship rights by blood, and to adopt a practice of jus soli, or citizenship rights by landed birth. Second, Edward Snowden fled the United States and leaked to journalists hundreds of thousands of classified documents from the National Security Agency regarding its global surveillance and data mining programs. These materials unearthed the classified specifics of how billions of people’s data and personal details were being recorded and processed by an intergovernmental surveillant assemblage. These two moments are connected by more than time. They are both making radical moves in debates around citizenship, though one is obvious while the other remains furtive. In Italy, this debate is heavily ethnicized and racialized. According to jus sanguinis, to be a legitimate part of the Italian body politic is to have Italian blood running in your veins. Italian meant white. Italian meant ethnic- Italian. Italian meant Catholic.

Plaintiff’s Exhibit 29 12/16/2018 XKEYSCORE: NSA's Google for the World's Private Communications Case 1:15-cv-00662-TSE Document 168-33 Filed 12/18/18 Page 2 of 15 XKEYSCORE NSA’s Google for the World’s Private Communications Morgan Marquis-Boire, Glenn Greenwald, Micah Lee July 1 2015, 10:49 a.m. One of the National Security Agency’s most powerful tools of mass surveillance makes tracking someone’s Internet usage as easy as entering an email address, and provides no built-in technology to prevent abuse. Today, The Intercept is publishing 48 top-secret and other classified documents about XKEYSCORE dated up to 2013, which shed new light on the breadth, depth and functionality of this critical spy system — one of the largest releases yet of documents provided by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden. The NSA’s XKEYSCORE program, first revealed by The Guardian, sweeps up countless people’s Internet searches, emails, documents, usernames and passwords, and other private communications. XKEYSCORE is fed a constant flow of Internet traffic from fiber optic cables that make up the backbone of the world’s communication network, among other sources, for processing. As of 2008, the surveillance system boasted approximately 150 field sites in the United States, Mexico, Brazil, United Kingdom, Spain, Russia, Nigeria, Somalia, Pakistan, Japan, Australia, as well as many other countries, consisting of over 700 servers.

  • The Snowden Saga
    SPECIAL REPORT THE SNOWDEN SAGA: A SHADOWLAND OF SECRETS AND LIGHT Whether hero or traitor, former National Security Agency contractor Edward Snowden is the most important whistle-blower of modern times, one whose disclosures will reverberate for decades to come. With extensive input from Snowden himself, Suzanna Andrews, Bryan Burrough, and Sarah Ellison have the spy-novel-worthy tale of how a geeky dropout from the Maryland suburbs found himself alone and terrified in a Hong Kong hotel room, spilling America’s most carefully guarded secrets to the world. BY BRYAN BURROUGH, SARAH ELLISON & SUZANNA ANDREWS ILLUSTRATIONS BY SEAN MCCABE MAY 2014 THE SENDER Edward Joseph Snowden, whose theft of top-secret documents from the National Security Agency represents the most serious intelligence breach in U.S. history. In the background, the headquarters of the N.S.A., Fort Meade, Maryland. “When you are in a position of privileged access,” Snowden has said, “you see things that may be disturbing. Over time that awareness of wrongdoing sort of builds up.” Illustration by Sean McCabe. fter setting up his personal security systems and piling pillows against the door so no one in the hallway could eavesdrop, he sat on the bed, anxious and alone, in a Hong Kong hotel room. He was 29 years old that night, May 24, 2013, but he looked much younger, thin and pale, like a college kid, in his blue jeans and white T-shirt. Someone who talked to him later described him as “terrified,” and it’s easy to believe. He was Awalking away from everything he had ever known, his career, his girlfriend, his entire life, and now it appeared that his plan might fall through.

  • (U) UTT Configuration README
    SECRET//RELTO USA, FVEY (U) UTT Configuration README (U) Overview (S//SI//REL) The Unified Targeting Tool (UTT) makes it possible to transition from today's selector- centric mode of operation, where each type of selector is entered into a different targeting tool, to a target-centric system. In this system, selection management is converged and then streamlined and automated, thereby facilitating analyst operation and collaboration. UTT, a mission critical component of the TURBULENCE architecture, provides a single point-of-service. Analysts enter all of their targeting requests for intercept from global network communications as well as private networks that are resident on or accessible using the global network infrastructure, regardless of the types of selectors or access capabilities to be employed. (U) UTT Dataflow (U//FOUO) The UTT pushes selector targeting information to the Site Selection Distribution Manager (SSDM). The SSDM manages selector tasking at the field site. The SSDM receives the load/updates that were pushed from the UTT. It is responsible for any site-specific processing that must be performed before forwarding the appropriate subset of information to site-local collection systems. (U//FOUO) Once messages are processed, the SSDM sends selector targeting information via MAILORDER to front-end collection systems at a field site (e.g., XKEYSCORE). The SSDM receives status back from these systems indicating whether or not the selector tasking was accepted or rejected and then returns status to the UTT in the form of load and update responses. The SSDM may also request, either automatically or manually by a local user, that the UTT send a complete reload of all selectors targeted for the site.
