Most Americans say NSA must put an end to its controversial surveillance program which collects their personal data through monitoring their phone calls, emails and internet use

Most Americans say the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA) must put an end to its controversial surveillance program which collects their personal data through monitoring their phone calls, emails and internet use.

Fifty six percent of those who participated in a new McClatchy-Marist poll said that the White House has gone too far in its spying program which was revealed by fugitive American whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The July 15-18 survey also found that seventy percent of 1,204 adults surveyed believe the government needs to introduce regulations that would limit what can be investigated.
Only one out of four of the respondents deemed the NSA’s surveillance program as reasonable.
The survey also showed that there is widespread opposition to the Obama administration’s “Insider Threat” program. The program which received scant attention in mainstream media requires government employees to keep a close eye on their “high risk” colleagues in an effort to prevent new leaks.
