    Thumbs up NSA to Stop Warrantless Surveillance of American Messages

    The decision to stop the once-secret activity, which collected messages sent to or received from people believed to be living overseas, arrives as a sudden and unexpected triumph for privacy advocates who were long critical of the program, which U.S. officials had defended as both lawful and important to national security.

    The halt is among the most substantial changes to U.S. surveillance policy in years and comes as issues of digital privacy remain contentious across the globe following the 2013 disclosures of broad NSA spying activity by former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden.
    “NSA will no longer collect certain internet communications that merely mention a foreign intelligence target,” the agency said in a statement. “Instead, NSA will limit such collection to internet communications that are sent directly to or from a foreign target.”
    NSA also said it would delete the “vast majority” of internet data collected under the surveillance program “to further protect the privacy of U.S. person communications.”
    Edward Snowden tweeted this…

    “NSA will no longer collect certain internet communications that merely mention a foreign intelligence target,” the agency said in a statement. “Instead, NSA will limit such collection to internet communications that are sent directly to or from a foreign target.”
    incidental collection will of course still be around, combined with the abuses of unmasking.
    I can't get too happy about not freaking recording everything-it's still warrantless wiretapping

    LOL, the only way the NSA can determine if a message is warranted is to review it after recording. Again the NSA is currently recording every phone call and email sent, every minute of every day. 99.9999 percent of them are unwarranted, but without preservation of those that are they might as well close up shop

    what do you think ancestry.com is? You don't think the FBI and NSA have appraoched them to secretly hand over their genetic databases with millions of american on file? You think the deep state is leaving that stuff alone? Hell no. Same reason I don't do biometric scans on my tech devices.

    my guess is this is happening because of the whole obama wiretapped trump thing. I mean the FBI did just admit that they tapped a leadership figure in the opposition campaign during the election. Not foreigners but an american citizen. If they did that to podesta this would be watergate 2.0.

    They need to calm the public. Also a lot more people know now that the FISA courts only rejected 11 out of 35000 requests. That doesnt inspire confidence that your being protected.
