Comment Two groups saying two different things ... (Score 2) 183
No matter how conclusively this is proven, these idiot officials will continue to use Snowden as their scapegoat.
Is there a conclusion? The two groups seem to be saying two very different things.
".. a new independent analysis of Edward Snowden's revelations on NSA surveillance that examined the frequency of releases and updates of encryption software by jihadi groups has found no correlation in either measure to Snowden's leaks about the NSA's surveillance techniques
"... changed communications practices and patterns of terrorist groups
Communications practices and patterns seems much broader than encryption software releases and updates, the encryption software being one of many possible things. Plus what about downloads and usage, wouldn't that be a better metric than a software release/update schedule? Its not clear that the independent analysis contradicts the NSA.
