  • Membership Lists, Metadata, and Freedom of Association's Specificity Requirement
    Membership Lists, Metadata, and Freedom of Association's Specificity Requirement KATHERINE J. STRANDBURG* Over the past year, documents revealed by leaker Edward Snowden and declassified by the government have provided a detailed look at some aspects of the National Security Agency's (NSA's) surveillance of electronic communications and transactions. Attention has focused on the NSA's mass collection from major telecommunications carriers of so-called "telephony metadata," which includes dialing and dialed numbers, call time, duration, and the like.' The goal of comprehensive metadata collection is what I have elsewhere called "relational surveillance"2-to follow "chains of communications" between "telephone numbers associated with known or suspected terrorists and other telephone numbers" and then to "analyze those connections in a way that can help identify terrorist * Alfred B. Engelberg Professor of Law, New York University School of Law. Professor Strandburg acknowledges the generous support of the Filomen D'Agostino and Max E. Greenberg Research Fund. 1 The term "metadata" has been widely adopted in discussing the NSA's data collection activities and so I will use it here. When one moves beyond call traffic data, however, the term's meaning in the data surveillance context is problematic, ill-defined and may obscure the need for careful analysis. As one illustration of these issues, consider NSA documents recently made public in connection with news reports of NSA monitoring of text messages, which refer, in language that would have made the Red Queen proud, to "content derived metadata."

A Polish Jew, Gerda Weissmann lived six years under German rule. It was a time when Jews were stigmatized, discriminated against, harassed and beaten. Their houses of worship were burned; their places of business, looted. They were driven from their homes, imprisoned in ghettos and forced to work in slave-labor camps. And they were murdered — some where they lived, town by town, person by person; others in death camps, where millions were gassed in an assembly-line process that mimicked the great factories of industrialized Europe.
