PRISM looked interesting. Now here’s another Big Data surveillance program, this time not run by the NSA but by the DEA, the US drug enforcement agency. The title is HEMISPHERE, and it’s got a great logo. The leaked PDF says we shouldn’t mention it, though, it’s top secret!
Turns out they have a complete record of all calls going through AT&T’s switches, going back to 1987. That’s 26 years.
I wonder what those two vertical lines on the sides of the globe signify. Everything under control? What do you think? Leave a comment.
