alt Hacker NewsReminder: this is their #1 most used tool for collecting data. Snowden told us of the existence of this program under the codename PRISM.
This allows them to download the entire contents of your gmail instantly, directly from Google, without a warrant. Or your iCloud Photos and Backups (complete iMessage history) directly from Apple. No warrant required.
