"The US government, with assistance from major telecommunications carriers including AT&T, has engaged in a massive illegal dragnet surveillance of domestic communications and communications records of millions of ordinary Americans since at least 2001. Since this was first reported on by the press and discovered by the public in late 2005, EFF has been at the forefront of the effort to stop it and bring government surveillance programs back within the law and the Constitution."
Turns out that the US Government has been spying not only on innocent US citizens under the cover of counter terrorism and the claim that it is in the protection in of the country. Not only has the NSA been going through American citizens personal Information but they have also been spying on citizens beyond america’s borders. WHAT??? Not only is this unconstitutional of the government of the supposed land of the free but you do not spy on you allies in Europe, and you especially do not hack the German Prime Ministers Mobile phone! The NSA has created a Global Surveillance state and it is destroying what little trust the world has with the USA that still remains. The US government then calls Edward Snowden a traitor and a criminal just because he showed the world that the US is doing something illegal!

When news came out of this whole spying culture in the tech world and in our society, people simply blew up into a furor of social discontent. Not only is it a hot topic and quite controversial but people have such strong opinions on it, so it's really good that you brought this up.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you have taken a direct stance on the subject instead of just talking about the subject. It definitely shows your voice :)
ReplyDeleteThe government claims they is spying on people to protect us, but what do you think the real reason behind the spying is?
