NSA phone data collection 'illegal', US court rules
May 08, 2015
A US appeals court has ruled that bulk collection of phone records by the National Security Agency is illegal.
Overturning a 2013 ruling, the judges did not, however, halt the programme but urged Congress to take action.
The NSA's spying was leaked by Edward Snowden, a former NSA contractor who has since fled to Russia.
