Comment on U.S. Senate bill proposes sweeping curbs on NSA surveillance

Comments

Call me unconvinced. It follows entirely the flawed US gov interpretation of "collection", which means collect everything, and only call it "collect" when if you search through it.

How should this convince the global business that using US IT, telecom and cloud services is trustworthy and legally safe? There are still massive holes in a number of public laws and who knows in how many secret laws and interpretations, not talking about illegal practices. Without a 2nd Church Committee nothing will change.

Afaik the first Church Committee never ended. Sure Church got shut down[0], but the committee is still technically "active".

BTW, it would be a good idea to wear a radiation sensor.
