PCLOB

The Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board (PCLOB) is an independent agency that reviews how government security activities affect privacy rights and civil liberties. Its role is to ensure government actions, such as surveillance programs, are balanced with protecting individual freedoms. The PCLOB advises the President, Congress, and executive agencies, promoting transparency and accountability in national security measures. It functions as an independent watchdog, providing objective assessments to help prevent overreach and safeguard citizens’ rights while addressing national security concerns.
