CloudFlare Supports the Passage of the USA Freedom Act

What's this blog post about?

On May 13, 2015, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the USA FREEDOM Act, which aims to end bulk collection and mass surveillance programs by the National Security Agency (NSA). The Act also seeks to increase transparency of the secret Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) and allow companies more freedom in reporting related to FISA orders. CloudFlare supports the passage of this Act, as it believes that mass surveillance programs are unconstitutional and ineffective. The company has joined with other tech policy organizations and companies to advocate for the Act's passage, which is a step towards ensuring national security under the rule of law.
