An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Register:
The world got a first glimpse into the US government`s
far-reaching surveillance of American citizens` communications --
namely, their Verizon telephone calls -- 10 years ago this week
when Edward Snowden`s initial leaks hit the press. [...] In the
decade since then, "reformers have made real progress advancing
the bipartisan notion that Americans` liberty and security are
not mutually exclusive," [US Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR)]
said. "That has delivered tangible results: in 2015 Congress
ended bulk collection of Americans` phone records by passing the
USA Freedom Act." This bill sought to end the daily snooping into
American`s phone calls by forcing telcos to collect the records
and make the Feds apply for the information.
