Government privacy boad tells Obama to stop NSA mass spying

Guardian - The US government’s privacy board is calling out President Barack Obama for continuing to collect Americans’ phone data in bulk, a year after it urged an end to the controversial National Security Agency program.

The Obama administration could cease the mass acquisition of US phone records “at any time”, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board said in an assessment it issued on Thursday.

David Medine, the PCLOB chairman, ... reiterated his call for Obama to cease the domestic bulk phone records collection unilaterally.
