Just saw this today, apparently it's a look into the software, XKeyscore, used by the NSA while compiling PRISM data. I haven't explored too much more into yet, but just wanted to share the articles to let everyone have a look for themselves.

I wonder how they sift through this limitless info to pinpoint trails that are viable and may lead to a party up to no good ? Just in terms of simple efficiency you would need to develop smarter and smarter algorithms to distiniguish between Joe Average satisfying his curiosity in the subject of terrorism versus someone who is doing similar research in an effort to commit a crime.
