"Free Speech Radio News" reports: "Secret government documents leaked by former intelligence contractor Edward Snowden and published by the Washington Post this week have shed light on which agencies get what share of a more than $50 billion annual budget that so far lacked public oversight. The documents show how much taxpayer money is given to tech companies for handing over private data about their users and that thousand of government employees work on circumventing encryption. Legal experts and transparency advocates say the government needs to release much more information so the public can have an informed debate on which programs deserve how much taxpayer money. In Washington, FSRN’s Alice Ollstein has more."
