New details show broader NSA surveillance reach - Video
The US National Security Agency is collecting much more of Americans’ internet communications than US officials have previously revealed, a new report says. ● According to The Wall Street Journal, the NSA has built a surveillance network that covers roughly 75 percent of all US Internet traffic in the hunt for so-called foreign intelligence. The NSA hunts Internet communications that either originate or end abroad, or are entirely foreign but pass through the US, officials had previously acknowledged, according to the WSJ. However, the officials are now saying that the system also monitors and keeps the content of some emails and phone calls sent by US citizens over the Internet.
