here's the quote:

not quite.
That ome snowden mentioned (i think were talking about "PRISM") used to be like a search engine, but the searchable data included basically direct access to facebook, google, ISPs, telecom companies etc...
this one (GRAPHITE, PREDATOR, PEGASUS)are targeted hacking tools using zeroday (and sometimes zero click) exploits to directly hack into a victims device, and fully compromise it.
the main difference is that in the later case, the attacker has access to all information on the device, instead of only what went over the wire.
that includes e2e encrypted messages, photos and videos stored on device etc..
