TWO
years after whistleblower Edward Snowden revealed a vast overseas digital
dragnet that snared, among others, German Chancellor Angela Merkel, the US
government said it is changing how it handles the trove of intel.
"We
have imposed new limitations on the retention of personal information about
non-US persons," the Office of the Director of National Intelligence
announced on Tuesday.
"Now intelligence
community elements must delete non-US person information collected through
SIGINT five years after collection," it added, referring to signals
intelligence, or the gathering of information from signals and other
communication.
