USA: DATA SURVEILLANCE: Obama review panel: strip NSA of power to collect phone data records

18 December 2013

"Review proposes greater authority for spying on foreign leaders; Government 'should be banned from undermining encryption'; Forty-six recommendations in 300-page report released early"

However, there is little comfort for EU concerns over surveillance of people and groups outside the USA: "the report proposes only minimal overseas reforms, merely requiring higher clearance to “identify both the uses and the limits of surveillance on foreign leaders and in foreign nations.”
