Republican candidate Jeb Bush calls for more NSA powers

0

At a national security forum in South Carolina, Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush said that the government should have broad surveillance powers and that private technology companies should be more cooperative with intelligence agencies to help combat evildoers. This is contrary to the opinion of the Republican leaders who voted earlier this year to end the National Security Agency’s bulk collection of phone records. Bush said that there is “no evidence” that the data collection was a violation of civil liberties, and encouraged Congress to revisit its changes to the Patriot Act. He also criticized private technology firms for using encryption to make it harder for customers to be surveilled.
