Spotting malicious attacks in the manner Snowden describes would, he says, require the NSA to collect and analyze all network traffic flows in order to design an algorithm that distinguishes normal traffic flow from anomalous, malicious traffic.

“[T]hat means we have to be intercepting all traffic flows,” Snowden told WIRED’s James Bamford. “That means violating the Fourth Amendment, seizing private communications without a warrant, without probable cause or even a suspicion of wrongdoing. For everyone, all the time.”

It would also require sensors placed on the internet backbone to detect anomalous activity

Of course there are wiretaps all over the backbone of the internet.

There isn't a single major network node (think in terms of "city" geographically speaking) in the US, for instance, which wouldn't have a tap on it. NSA tolerates about 3 days of downtime in case the tap itself is the cause of the outage. 14 years network engineering under my belt including a 7 year tenure at AT&T where I was a part of the backbone team - that's how I know.

The so-called "lawful intercept" oughtta be cancelled right the fuck away. Them lazy #ACAB and privacy invading stupidity (there's no "intelligence" involved) community idiots should be doing the hard work, not collecting bulk data and then having machine learning & AI algorithms dissect it for them.

It was one of the reasons I quit. The motherfuckers wouldn't leave me the fuck alone afterwards (5+ years of constant surveillance & harrassment, cost me all of my sats, LOL), so I'll gladly tell the public here & now in an uncensorable manner.

I remember when room 641a was a wild conspiracy theory, now it has its own Wikipedia page.

Yeah, that's basically been the case all over the US, certainly at least as far as decade ago...
