Now the House of representatives is against strengthening protections for privacy, it might be time to review some facts about the NSA domestic surveillance programs ... as the one who knows you are reading this article now .
Three years after Edward Snowden's revelations about the extensive surveillance NSA American citizens, Americans continue to have conflicting views on controversial programs. In fact, a majority of Americans disapprove of the current techniques of NSA surveillance, in particular the collection of telephone and Internet data, as part of its efforts to fight against terrorism.
But in the wake of the massacre that took place in a Florida nightclub last Sunday, a legislative push to control the warrantless surveillance was beaten by an amendment that passed the House twice.
about-face in the US House of Representatives against the improvement of the protection of privacy in the NSA surveillance environment is the first repercussion of the mass shooting Congress Orlando. The amendment would have funds explicitly prevented the bill on defense spending is allocated to impose surveillance redesigns easier on popular products , or simply spending prohibited by the NSA to impose backdoors.
Even James Sensenbrenner, a Republican in the House of Representatives and of the main sponsors of the PATRIOT Act, claims that the US Congress intended its application to cases involving national security
But Just look what the NSA has become :.
-
The National Security Agency was established for international intelligence, but they collect data as much on US citizens.
created by President Harry Truman in 1952, the NSA is responsible for the monitoring, collection and processing of global information and foreign intelligence data. The agency is also responsible for protecting the United States against the network war, so it is terribly ironic that the same agency implements malware to spy on its own citizens.
-
The NSA legal authority to monitor all domestic phone calls.
under a blanket order issued to US telecoms, the numbers of both parties on a call must be delivered as well as the associated location data, call duration , unique identifiers, and the time and duration of all calls. It does not specify whether the content of the conversations are recorded and monitored, but it is widely believed to occur.
-
The NSA together data on approximately 3 billion phone calls a day.
is "billion" with a "B." Thanks to the secret order of the above compelling telecommunications put people data on the reg, the phone call metadata is then stored for five years .
-
The NSA gathers more than 0 million text messages per day.
a broad-cast net Stocks text messages of both American and international citizens in an untargeted scan. Codenamed 'Dishfire, "the NSA surveillance program extracts the location data, contacts, networks and even credit card details.
-
The emails of more than six months can be accessed remotely without warrant by an unspecified government entity.
Back in 1987, when personal email was not the norm, the Law on the Protection of electronic communications was adopted. Even the Department of Justice also noted that late 2013 that some of the legislature was outdated, but no further attempts to address this have been made.
-
The NSA has a history of your browser.
a revelation in the documents leaked by whistleblower Edward Snowden details of a secret program called xkeyscore. Under this program, the NSA can ignore the paperwork to obtain a warrant and snatch some 40 billion Internet registrations every month. This is the large tote, including Google searches, web sites visited, uploaded files, Windows error reports, etc.
-
In 08, the Agency maintained over 150 data processing sites to sift through the mass of information.
sites xkeyscore NSA surveillance system are located in the United States, Mexico, Brazil, UK, Spain, Russia, Nigeria, Somalia , Pakistan, Japan, Australia and many other countries, consisting of more than 700 servers.
-
The NSA pays more attention to your social media profiles that your ex obsessed.
With the famous PRISM, the agency has the power to pull information from Facebook and Twitter, Snapchat, and even dating profiles. This can be cross-referenced with other private data such as GPS location, personal contacts, and frequent activities to build complex accounts where you are and who you are.
-
The branch of the agency called "follow the money" monitors global transactions , without a warrant.
bank transfers across international lines, either online payment, transfer or transaction with a credit card account, are marked by the NSA. The FTM program has customers of major credit card companies like VISA, the information flow in the NSA own financial database, called specifically targeted "TRACFIN."

Disconnect your device from the web will not stop the NSA
Just let that thought sink in :. disconnect your device from the Internet will not stop the NSA accessed. Such power has NIGHTSTAND, a program that can attack Windows computers from a thread to operate up to eight miles. Another example can be found in SURLYSPAWN, a program that uses radio frequency to connect strikes from as far as the street.
-
There is no real control of the NSA spying capabilities.
While the Obama administration refers to two bodies - an independent review committee and the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court - responsible for assessing the constitutionality of political supervision, the system of checks and balances here is all wrong. The two organizations have repeatedly stated that they are not fully aware of the extent of monitoring recurrent NSA and NSA declassified documentation shows misled the court several times on the functions of its operations.
-
The massive NSA surveillance network has never directly prevented a terrorist attack or leads to an arrest.
While it certainly is a bold claim, much research supports. In a study of 225 cases against terrorism where US residents were either killed or accused of terrorism before they could be charged, only 14 cases have been launched because of a metadata NSA program. And of these 14 cases, only one case may have helped prevent "an operational Al Qaeda plot to carry out an attack in the United States." - A stark contrast to the 54 thwarted events declared by President Obama
