Pinwale Email and Internet Content Database

Pinwale was not the whole internet in a box. In the public record, it appears instead as one of the NSA's central text-content repositories: a search and retrieval system for SIGINT text intercept, fed by multiple collection streams, used by analysts for stored communications research, and surrounded by minimization rules, query controls, and recurring compliance concerns.

PRISM Internet Data Collection Program

PRISM was not the whole Section 702 system and it was not the whole internet in one box. In the public record, it appears more precisely as an internal NSA collection and workflow system for acquiring internet communications from U.S. electronic communication service providers under Section 702, with selector-based targeting, court-approved procedures, and a technical path that fed broader NSA storage, analysis, and reporting systems.
