TOP INTELLIGENCE\u00a0COMMUNITY\u00a0lawyer Robert Litt\u00a0has offfered<\/a>\u00a0a rare olive branch to privacy advocates on Wednesday, in the form of information.<\/p>\n

In a\u00a0post<\/a>\u00a0on one of their favorite blogs on Wednesday, Litt, general counsel for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, outlined new intelligence data-sharing guidelines\u00a0that\u00a0he said will be released soon.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0post, on\u00a0Just Security<\/a>,<\/em>\u00a0was essentially a response to\u00a0reporting<\/a>\u00a0last month from the\u00a0New York Times\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0Charlie Savage that the NSA would soon be sharing with other government agencies the raw, unfiltered intelligence from the depths of its massive overseas spying programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere has been a lot of speculation about the content of proposed procedures that are being drafted to authorize the sharing of unevaluated signals intelligence,\u201d Litt wrote.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0New York Times<\/em>\u00a0story raised concerns that the data, which inevitably includes information about Americans, would become too easily accessible by intelligence agencies including the FBI, potentially leading to fishing expeditions.<\/p>\n

Litt provided his assurances that \u201cthese procedures are not about law enforcement, but about improving our intelligence capabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

He also emphasized that there would be no additional collection of information\u2014and that all the same privacy protections that currently exist will apply.<\/p>\n

Privacy advocates and policy analysts interviewed by\u00a0The Intercept<\/em>\u00a0were pleased Litt made the effort to reach out, noting some positive features of his announcement\u2014like<\/a>\u00a0the possible restriction on sharing intelligence with state and local law enforcers.<\/p>\n

Nathan White, senior legislative manager for digital rights organization Access Now, had\u00a0entreated<\/a>\u00a0the intelligence community just the day before for more information on how the FBI would get access. \u201cI hope that Litt replied to my op-ed means they\u2019re taking these concerns seriously,\u201d White wrote in a message to\u00a0The Intercept.<\/em><\/p>\n
