#3Totally off topic, but I love that XKEYSCORE sounds like a Redis command. There has to be an opportunity for some sort of practical joke here but I can't find it.

#4This happens a lot more than people think. Pretty much any European country that has cooperated with US intelligence and have received "tools" from US intelligence to help them gather their own intelligence at home have also agreed to share local data with the NSA.

#5>The novelty of XKEYSCORE is that it enables analysts to find exactly those anonymous communications. For that purpose it reassembles IP packets into their original format ("sessionizing"), like Word documents, spreadsheets, chat messages, etc.
This sounds interesting. Does it mean they write a sort of serialization/deserialization routine for whatever format they can grab at hand? For example maybe it's possible to assemble a piece of binary data travelled through the Internet to its original, Borland database file format?

#7I love how the politicians presume NSA is safe partner and their danish citizens are not in the data.
It does not really help if every other neighbouring country does the same. NSA will get danish info elsewhere. Everyone gets played.
It works as long as USA is an trusthworthy ally. They wouldn't dare to abuse the information for private gains... right?

If you model human society within the class structure then a lot of stuffs begin to make sense.

They always sound so memorable yet mysterious, especially so the ones created by concatenation of two ordinary words, like ETERNALBLUE or FOGBANK.
We should make a GPT-based generator of USA secret codenames ;)
