On Page 17, the revelation that the NSA were acquiring Internet transactions before the Court's approval of Section 702:
> The government's submissions make clear not only that NSA has been acquiring Internet transactions since before the Court's approval of the first Section 702 certification in 2008, but also that NSA seeks to continue the collection of Internet transactions.
On Page 71, the revelation that data acquired via upstream interception pales in comparison to that acquired directly from Internet service providers:
> Nor do these disclosures affect NSA's collection of Internet communications directly from Internet service providers [redacted], which accounts for approximately 91% of the Internet communications acquired by NSA each year under Section 702.
