Obama Administration Hints at Ending Bulk Data Collection Tuesday Mar 25 2014 08:16 EDT The Obama Administration is set to unveil a new proposal that would purportedly end bulk data collection at the NSA. According to the New York Times, under the proposed changes the NSA would end its systematic collection of data about Americans’ calling habits. Bulk records would be stored by phone companies though those companies "would not be required to retain the data for any longer than they normally would," states the Times. That runs contrary to rumblings that the telcos would be asked to extend data collection retention, a long-standing goal of the government. Overall it sounds a bit too good to be true for a government that's been so combative and secretive on the issue, so the devil will very obviously be in the details. |
