The USA Freedom Act would prohibit the NSA’s previously secret practice of conducting large-scale, indiscriminate collection of communications records. The legislation would allow authorities to seek court approval to obtain specific communications records based on a threat to national security.

The ACLU sees the bills’ limits as defects that make the legislation unacceptable.”]
