“White House suggests to expand a circle of the potential purposes for supervision, having included to them persons who are not US citizens, who can transfer or receive the important foreign intelligence information, and also the persons who are involved in activity concerning weapon of mass destruction”, - the edition writes.
According to The Washington Post, the offer of the Administration assumes also, that private telecommunication companies and Internet-providers will be obliged to cooperate with US special services and will be protected by the law from any claims in connection with such cooperation.
