NSA Surveillance - 0 views

  •  
    The National Security Agency has greatly expanded since September 11, 2001. People have come forward and recently exposed the corruption of the system, and the spying the agency has conducted on millions of Americans, through phone calls and other mass forms of media we consume everyday.
  •  
    I understand the reason for the surveillance, but I feel that if they find nothing wrong, they should move on. I also feel that it is a violation of peoples' rights to privacy. If I was a suspected terrorist or caught peeping on sites that I shouldn't, please track me so that I don't hurt anyone or do irreparable damage. However, if you spy on me and all I do is talk to family and do homework, pay bills and occasionally visit Facebook, then just leave me alone. Spend the time watching someone that you should be.
  •  
    Whether the NSA is listening to you or not, if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to worry about, they are not sharing your information with others, nor are they even listening closely to your conversation. The NSA was weakened through the repealing of the patriot act last year, and since there have been 3 major terror attacks on the homeland, a clear rise in terror in the homeland through the gained power of terrorist due to paranoia from American citizens, who value privacy over safety.
