(ANSA) – WASHINGTON, SEPTEMBER 4 – Seven years after the revelations of former National Security Agency (NSA) agent Edward Snowden about the mass surveillance of American phone calls, a United States appeals court recognized that the program it was illegal and that US intelligence leaders did not tell the truth when they publicly defended it. The Guardian writes it. The judges ruled that the warrantless wiretapping that secretly collected millions of phone calls violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and may have been unconstitutional.
“I never imagined that I would live to see our courts condemn the activities of the NSA as illegal and in the same sentence receive the credit for revealing them,” Snowden himself commented on Twitter.
