In a close vote, the U.S. House of Representatives defeated an amendment that would have prevented the National Security Agency from collecting large volumes of phone records. The 205-217 vote followed “impassioned debate over citizens’ right to privacy and the steps government must take to protect national security,” The New York Times reports. Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) said of Section 215, the provision under which the NSA collects phone metadata, “It’s going to end—now or later…The only question is when and on what terms.” Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI) said he would draft legislation in the coming months to add more privacy protections to government surveillance programs. In an op-ed for The Times, David Brin writes of increased surveillance: “You can either fight this new era, or embrace it.” (Registration may be required to access this story.)
