House Votes to Limit N.S.A.’s Collection of Phone Data
By JONATHAN WEISMANMAY 22, 2014
WASHINGTON — The House on Thursday voted overwhelmingly to rein in the National
Security Agency’s sweeping collection of telephone records, approving
legislation that sharply divided technology advocates and civil libertarians
but united the White House, conservative Republicans and liberal Democrats.
The 303-to-121 vote sent an unambiguous signal that both parties are no longer

U.S. District Judge Richard Leon said the National Security Agency's bulk

6. 美國前總統卡特評NSA網絡監視, 並表示憂慮和關切:
Former US president Jimmy Carter has admitted he uses snail mail to evade
monitoring by the National Security Agency and that he feels such surveillance
methods have been abused.
"When I want to communicate with a foreign leader privately, I type or
write a letter myself, put it in the post office, and mail it," Carter
said with a laugh, as he was questioned on the matter on NBC's "Meet the
Press" program.
"I have felt that my own communications are probably monitored," he
said on the Sunday show.
A trove of documents leaked by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden have
sparked outrage in the United
States and abroad about the vast
capabilities... ...
