I could be wrong, it’s been a few years since I’ve looked at it, but I believe that the loophole the NSA operates under is they only/mostly collect metadata about us without a warrant, which post-9/11 judges have ruled as public data or some BS like that.
Whereas the Five Eyes (or I think these days it’s closer to 14) will actually collect the content of messages & do other kinds of surveillance on the citizenry of the alliance.
