Senate to Vote to Renew NSA's Internet Surveillance Program

On Tuesday, the U.S. Senate planned to vote to advance a bill to renew the National Security Agency’s warrantless internet surveillance program, as privacy advocates made a final push to derail the measure. The legislation would extend the NSA program, which gathers information from foreigners overseas. The bill allows the NSA to eavesdrop on vast amounts of digital communications from foreigners living outside the United States via American companies like Facebook, Verizon, and Google.
