NSA harvesting hundreds of millions of personal email contact lists

“The data harvesting program collects address books from email and instant messaging service in an apparent attempt to map social circles across the globe. Online communication services frequently expose an individual’s contact list when that person signs onto their account, sends a message, or connects a remote device – such as a cell phone – to a computer.  The collection relies on secret deals with foreign telecommunication companies.   Because the collection takes place overseas, the NSA does not require nor did it receive permission from Congress or the secret intelligence court that authorizes such collection.”
