From OS News:
Obama's changes to government surveillance
posted by Thom Holwerda on Fri 17th Jan 2014 23:38 UTC
President Obama announced on Friday that he will place new limits on intelligence agencies' bulk collection of phone call records. But he rejected some other recommendations to rein in surveillance made by a panel of outside advisers.
The NYT lists the changes. It's insubstantial.

Yeah right! No worries. :-\

I really wonder how this is related to "OS".
Also, US-American elections are a bad joke. Republicans, "Democrats" or...? I wish the Liberal Party had more influence, but no one votes for them. Why not? Stupidity.

Why not? Electoral College.
On point, however, that was a very good concise summary. Thanks for posting it.

Considering the NSA has back-doored Windows - and Microsoft fully cooperates with the US intelligence community when asked - anything involving the NSA is OS related.
BTW... which "Liberal Party" are we speaking about not listening to? There are at least twenty would-be US political parties currently calling themselves that.
