Seven years after the revelations of former National Security Agency (NSA) agent Edward Snowden about mass surveillance of American phone calls, a US appeals court recognized that the program was illegal and that American intelligence leaders did not say. the truth when they defended him publicly. The Guardian writes it. The judges ruled that the warrantless wiretaps that secretly collected millions of phone calls violated the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act and may have been unconstitutional.
"I never imagined that I would live to see our courts condemn the activities of the NSA as illegal and in the same sentence be given credit for disclosing them," Snowden himself commented on Twitter.
