It looks like Obama plans to ask Congress to put a halt to the NSA's bulk collection and storage of phone records. This is following a meeting with some of the bigger tech CEOs, brought to our attention by Ashley's earlier post, and a meeting with world leaders in the Netherlands on Monday.
The proposal would still allow the government to "access the data when needed", but if approved, this would be a substantial move in the fight for privacy among government surveillance. The proposal will apparently call for "far-reaching overhaul" of the NSA's program.
