President Obama announced a series of new reforms to increase public confidence in the National Security Agency’s controversial Internet and telephone surveillance program. The press conference (live at whitehouse.gov/live) is still on-going. Here are the 4 reforms he’s proposed. All are quite vague:
1). “Pursue appropriate reforms” around section 215 of the Patriot Act, which authorizes the NSA to conduct surveillance.
2). Create a public advocate to argue in front of the secret court that grants the NSA authority to target suspects (both foreign and domestic). This advocate would argue for more privacy.
3). Create a website detailing what the NSA does–and does not–collect on Americans and foreigners.
4). Create an independent agency that reviews cybersecurity processes and produces timely reports. One is supposed to be out by the end of the year.
This is a developing story. We’ll have analysis soon.
