NSA 'tracking' hundreds of millions of mobile phones
Almost five billion mobile phone location records are logged by the NSA every day, reports the Washington Post.
The data is said to help the NSA track individuals, and map who they know, to aid the agency's anti-terror work.
The "dragnet surveillance" was condemned by digital rights groups who called for the NSA's snooping efforts to be reined in.
The news comes as Microsoft plans to use more encryption to thwart NSA spying on it and its customers.
Wrong target
The huge database built up by the NSA (National Security Agency) keeps an eye on "hundreds of millions" of mobile phones, said the Post, adding that it let the agency map movements and relationships in ways that were "previously unimaginable".
It added that the vast programme potentially surpassed any other NSA project in terms of its impact on privacy. Information about the programme was in papers released to the Post by whistleblower Edward Snowden.
The spying agency is said to have accumulated so much data, about 27 terabytes according to leaked papers seen by the Post, that it was "outpacing" the NSA's ability to analyse the information in a timely fashion.読売にも記事がでていました。
