A relatively minor error in an extremely large body of quality reporting on an immensely important topic. On the balance The Guardian deserves many accolades for their reporting in this area.
Relatively minor? They claimed that the companies were allowing the US government to read anybody's email and view anybody's Skype videos without a court order. That seems like a pretty major mistake to me. Worse, Spencer Ackerman made that same error reporting for The Guardian just last week. Their reporting has been astonishingly bad.
