I believe that filtering out of Five Eye nations is not because there is an
agreement to do so, but rather because they don't want to tag their own
secondary operations. As in there are other programs targeting Tor users
and running Five Eye owned Tor exit nodes, so tagging the hosts involved in
those programs would be a false positive. Or it just means that another
XKeyscore node handles that collection. This would also imply that there
wouldn't be any kind of secondary operation on the Linux Journal. I still
agree it's a loose system, but the filtering out of allied hosts would be
done in a later phase of the system.
