...Glenn Greenwald conveniently offered a link roundup to all of the Guardian’s reporting on the NSA leaks so far. Here’s the full list with individual links.
How Microsoft handed the NSA access to encrypted messagesPut together with other reporting, including news that the US DoJ entered into deals with Australian telecoms giant Telstra to tap their undersea cables and spied on EU offices, there seems to be only one inescapable conclusion – as Conor Friedersdorf recently wrote:

In fact, the U.S. government is, right this second, pouring untold billions into what is ultimately an effort to monitor all digital communications; scan all mail; amass a fleet of surveillance drones that can hover in the sky for days on end; develop technology to scan all faces in crowds; assemble gigantic databases of biometric data; break all encryption efforts; indiscriminately spy on millions of citizens in friendly countries like Germany and Brazil; and share spy technologies with allies. None of that is in dispute.
