linkitetettu

Linkitetettu is a Finnish word that refers to the unwinding or purging of information from an intelligence agency's computer database. The term is particularly associated with the National Security Agency (NSA) of the United States, where it was used to describe the process of so-called " cable purging." This involved reviewing and purging telephone and other communications metadata that had been collected outside of the United States, in an effort to comply with a 1999 court ruling passed by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court.

The use of the term linkitetettu dates back to an article published by the Finnish newspaper Helsingin Sanomat in 2001. The article revealed that the United States NSA had, in addition to collecting mass amounts of metadata on international communications, been systematically purging such data. The term was initially used as a means of scribing the instances in Finnish, where it has been synonymous to referring to purging.
