U.S. District Judge William Pauley ruled that NSA surveillance does not violate Americans’ rights to privacy: In a 54-page decision, Pauley said the program “vacuums up information about virtually every telephone call to, from, or within the United States.” But he said the program’s constitutionality “is ultimately a question of reasonableness,” and that there was no evidence that the government had used “bulk telephony metadata” for any reason other than to investigate and disrupt terrorist attacks. “This blunt tool only works because it collects everything,” Pauley wrote. “Technology allowed al Qaeda to operate decentralized and plot international terrorist attacks remotely. The bulk telephony metadata collection program represents the government’s counter-punch.” The problem, of course, is the possibility of the government abusing the program to do other things with it. At this point, it’s hard to believe that wouldn’t happen, and of course the potential is always there. But the potential is there anyway, especially as technology gallops apace. Oh, brave new world.

NSA je zakonito prisluškivala? Sudac u SAD-u presudio je u petak da je program Nacionalne sigurnosne agencije SAD-a kojime se bilježe milijuni telefonskih razgovora Amerikanaca zakonit Odluka suca okruga Manhattan Williama Pauleya, koji je odbacio prijedlog ACLU-a za preliminarnu zabranu programa, odstupa od presude washingtonskog suca Richarda Leona od 16. prosinca da je 'gotovo orwellovski' program vjerojatno neustavan. Postojanje programa prvi je razotkrio bivši suradnik NSA Edward Snowden. Na odluci od 54 stranice Pauley je naveo da program 'kupi informaciju o praktički svakom telefonskom pozivu prema, iz i unutar Sjedinjenih Država'. No Pauley je ocijenio i da je ustavnost programa 'naposlijetku pitanje razboritosti' i da nema dokaza da je vlada najveći dio podataka koristila za bilo što drugo osim istraga i sprečavanja terorističkih napada. 'Tehnologija omogućuje al Kaidi da radi decentralizirano i s daljine organizira međunarodne terorističke napade', napisao je Pauley i ocijenio da program prikupljanja podataka o telefonskoj komunikaciji predstavlja 'vladin protuudar'.
