I think he's referring to the opening line: "PRISM is a clandestine mass electronic surveillance data mining program"

Electrospaces describes it as follows: "It shows that PRISM is not about bulk or mass surveillance, but for collecting communications of specifically identified targets." [1]

Does this not depend on the NSA's rather dubious interpretation of 'collection' to mean 'collected but not actually analyzed by human eyes yet'?


That quote is from one the sites listed on nsa-observer.net's front page with the description "provide[s] documents and in-depth analysis on the NSA." Based on the author's Twitter feed, I'm assuming he's based in the Netherlands.
