BREAKING: A federal appeals court just ruled that the NSA’s bulk collection of Americans’ phone records was illegal. This ruling, which confirms what we have always known, is a victory for our privacy rights.
An appeals court has found that the mass surveillance of Americans’ telephone records exposed by Edward Snowden was illegal. In a ruling issued Wednesday, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said the operation that secretly collected millions of Americans’ phone records was in violation the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and could have been unconstitutional.
The US National Security Agency‘s bulk collection of citizens’ phone records was against the law.
The program, now ended, collected records from phone carriers about who called whom. The massive collection went beyond the scope of what Congress allowed under a foundational surveillance law, the panel of judges ruled, adding that the program may have violated the US Constitution.
NSA surveillance exposed by Snowden ruled unlawful
Top US intelligence officials had publicly insisted the NSA had never knowingly collected data from private phone records, until Mr Snowden exposed evidence to the contrary in 2013.
LIARS numerous government officials testified in both courts and to Congress, denying the program even existed.
