"The existence of the NSA's telephone surveillance program was revealed by a 2013 leak from whistleblower Ed Snowden. For close to a decade, the government has required major telephone companies to provide records of every telephone call made in the United States.
The government says the program is authorized by Section 215 of the Patriot Act, which was passed in 2001 in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Section 215 allows the government to seek information that is "relevant to an authorized investigation." The Obama administration has argued that the phone records program meets this legal standard. In the government's view, a database of every phone call in the United States provides a wealth of information that helps the government conduct terrorism investigations."
