NSA director admits agency trawls Facebook and Twitter … but insists they are NOT building personal files on Americans

Thursday, October 03, 2013 12:03 PM

The director of the National Security Agency admitted today that the agency collects data from social networks and other private databases to hunt terror suspects but is not using the information to build dossiers, or personal files, on Americans.

NSA Director Gen. Keith Alexander testified during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing Wednesday that not all social network searches are authorized by a secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance court, but the agency's actions are proper and audited internally. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2442080/NSA-director-Gen-Ke...
