• It is illegal and breaks the law• NSA surveillance came to light when contractor Edward
Snowden leaked documents.
History of Mass Surveillance• American founders disagreed with British surveillance
and established the 4th amendment with understanding that privacy is a basic human right.
• The 4th amendment prevents the government from tracking personal information unless there is evidence of a crime.
• The Government is breaking the law
History• Government surveillance got worse when the US
congress gave Fisa courts more authority to have surveillance on a large scale, allowing governments to search a list of people and their crimes including those with no offences.
• The Government can illegally track internet users based on search terms on popular websites, social networks and e-mails.
