spying

It's only a matter of time before they starts serving you ads during your dreams.

The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan issued its decision today.

The behind-the-scenes NSA concerns — which haven't been reported before — could be relevant as Congress decides whether to renew or modify the phone records collection when the law authorizing it expires in June.

The White House says the British government had acted on its own in destroying the Guardian data.

Reports are that U.S. intelligence had recruited two Germans, a man who worked at the country's foreign intelligence agency and a defense ministry employee, are "troubling."

Bill opponents say it's been "gutted" to win agreement from lawmakers who support the NSA phone records program.

Another likely topic will be U.S. spying.

Plaintiff Farhaj Hassan says the ruling felt "a slap in the face."

The lines are drawn but not in the traditional way.

The German leader said her government felt responsible for protecting the privacy rights of its citizens and she would lead negotiations with Washington over a "no spy" agreement between the two countries "with the force of our arguments."

The recommendation by the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board is even more sweeping than a similar proposal from another panel of experts that advised Obama to restrict phone surveillance to limited court-ordered sweeps.

Obama said he is placing new limits on the way intelligence officials access phone records from hundreds of millions of Americans.

The official insisted on anonymity because this person was not authorized to discuss the president's decision by name.

Obama's top lawyer plans to meet today with privacy groups.

The reports were based on documents provided by Edward Snowden, a former contract employee of the U.S. National Security Agency.

Coroner Robert Owen has said the only way to get key evidence into the open is to hold a public inquiry.

U.S. leaker Edward Snowden's revelations about the NSA's spying programs have sparked concern among politicians in countries from Latin America to Europe.

Court records from 2009 say that after repeated assurances the NSA would obey the court's rules, it acknowledged that it had collected material improperly.

He says those discussions should be entirely separate from negotiations over a new transatlantic trade and investment deal.

The British newspaper The Guardian said Thursday that it obtained a confidential memo that suggests U.S. intelligence was able to monitor the communications of 35 world leaders in 2006.
