To be sure, US President Barack Obama, spurred by an alliance between civil-society organizations and the technology industry, has taken some action. In a January speech, and an accompanying presidential policy directive, Obama ordered American spies to recognize that “all persons should be treated with dignity and respect, regardless of their nationality or wherever they might reside, and that all persons have legitimate privacy interests in the handling of their personal information.”
可以肯定，美国总统奥巴马在民间社团和科技产业的联手带动下已经采取了某些举措。在1月讲话及随后颁布的总统施政令中，奥巴马命令美国间谍认可“无论国籍或可能居住在哪里，所有人都应该享有尊严和尊重，同时每个人在对其个人信息进行处理时都享有合法的隐私权。”
