Judge rules against NSA’s phone data collection, to limited effect
Privacy advocates just secured a victory against the National Security Agency’s bulk phone data surveillance… albeit a limited one. A federal judge has ordered the NSA to stop collecting the phone records of people represented by Freedom Watch founder Larry Klayman. The US government is trampling on constitutional rights in the name of security, according to the ruling. The judge has refused to stay the order, too, so the NSA can’t keep snooping while it appeals the case. There’s a possibility that the government will have to pay damages, but that will hinge on a future trial.
