The National Security Agency’s collection of Internet data may be massive, but it’s constitutional. An independent agency, the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board, has released a thorough report on how federal agencies track foreigners’ communications under Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.
