Hillary Clinton Calls For Discussion On Privacy, Security
Former secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday called for a robust discussion about the balance between privacy and security, comments that come as American allies express concerns over U.S. surveillance.
“We need to have a full, comprehensive discussion” about that balance, she said, speaking at Colgate University.
“Everyone now says, ‘OK, we need to make sure we’re not going too far,’ that’s the discussion that needs to happen in a calm atmosphere,” the potential 2016 presidential candidate said. She added, “We’re not having that conversation yet.”
Clinton also stressed that U.S. allies rely on American intelligence for their security and sometimes serve as partners.
