(MENAFN- Jordan News Agency) US President Barack Obama signed the reform bill of the National Security Agency (NSA) on surveillance, hours after the Senate's approval, leading to the enactment of the measure.
In a statement, the White House reported the instructions of Obama, who rushed to enact the USA Freedom Act, amending certain provisions of the Patriot Act, adopted after the '' September 11, 2001'' attacks, which included massive collection of telephone data from citizens.
The US will continue its surveillance practices, but it will not be the government who will directly collect the information from the citizens, but telephone companies which will gather the data, BBC HINDI said.
