The Safeguarding Americans Private Records Act was introduced Thursday by Sen. Ron Wyden (D-OR) and Sen. Steve Daines (R-MT) The bill targets the Patriot Act s Section 215, previously used by the U.S. government to collect telephone data from millions of Americans. The bill closes loopholes in vague language used by Section 215 for justifying mass surveillance sans warrant. It also specifies how long data can be retained for and includes measures for more transparency around government data collection.
