An anonymous reader quotes a report from The Register:

     The world got a first glimpse into the US government's
     far-reaching surveillance of American citizens' communications --
     namely, their Verizon telephone calls -- 10 years ago this week
     when Edward Snowden's initial leaks hit the press. [...] In the
     decade since then, "reformers have made real progress advancing
     the bipartisan notion that Americans' liberty and security are
     not mutually exclusive," [US Senator Ron Wyden (D-OR)]
     said. "That has delivered tangible results: in 2015 Congress
     ended bulk collection of Americans' phone records by passing the
     USA Freedom Act." This bill sought to end the daily snooping into
     American's phone calls by forcing telcos to collect the records
     and make the Feds apply for the information.
