Metadata has ended

http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/nov/28/nsa-bulk-metadatacollection-expires-usa-freedom-act
The statement, dated 28 November 2015, says: Final temporary
reauthorization of the Section 215 bulk telephony metadata data program in
the US expires.
What that means is that from Saturday, the National Security Agency will no
longer directly hold information about the phone calls of millions of US
citizens.
The USA Freedom Act, passed in the summer, allowed the NSA a 180-day
transition period to sort out arrangements. That period expired on Saturday.
It is modest change but it is at least a change, raising public awareness of the
scale of government surveillance and opening the way for privacy campaigners
to chip away in hopes of further reforms.
