“The government is ‘prohibited from collecting telephone metadata records in bulk’ starting November 29. The executive branch will now be able to obtain phone metadata by asking the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court to order telecommunications companies to turn over specific records. The end of the bulk collection program is a modest but real victory for former NSA contractor and whistleblower Edward Snowden, who provided documents concerning the program to Laura Poitras and Glenn Greenwald. The first article by Greenwald based on the documents leaked by Snowden, published on June 6, 2013, was about the bulk collection program.”
