The more connected and interconnected we are with our tech, our mobile
devices, computers, Web usage and email, the more the government apparently
wants to know about what we’re doing and saying with all this connectivity,
who we’re talking to, when we’re talking and what we’re talking about.. It
sounds like a scary conspiracy theory, but unfortunately more and more evidence
is piling up detailing the far reaching eye of the government.
We’ve recently seen stories on CISPA
and big data, and the government watching our Web browsing, as well as the state
of internet surveillance overall. But
no recent “Big Brother” stories are as big as the stories that truly belong
in the movies. Companies
like Verizon have been forced to hand over phone records to the U.S. government
under a top secret court order. We’ve also learned that the National Security
Agency (NSA) and FBI have been pulling data on Americans from companies like
Google and Facebook.
