US House votes to continue NSA's phone surveillance

 

The US House of Representatives has narrowly voted to continue collecting data on US phone calls, in the first legislative move on the programme.

In a 205-217 vote, lawmakers rejected an effort to restrict the National Security Agency's (NSA) ability to collect electronic information.
The NSA's chief had lobbied strongly against the proposed measure.
The vote saw an unusual coalition of conservatives and liberal Democrats join forces against the programme.
The details of the NSA dragnet were made public by Edward Snowden, a former contractor for America's electronic spying agency. He is now a fugitive, seeking asylum in Moscow.

 

 In a 205 - 217 vote  , US Law makers decided to continue to listen in and spy on every phone call , email , chat , skype call , and more , in the entire world. Or at least any such information as they could steal. 

The rest of the world did not get to vote on the matter.
