Blog 5- Stop Watching Us
Link
This news video expresses the concerns that many different Americans have in regards to their privacy. Congressmen, businessmen, and average Joes speak out against the US Governments NSA, which has recently been under heavy media scrutiny. This video is a protest and is asking the US government to stop it "unlawful" spying on innocent civilians. Spokespeople claim that everyday thousands of gigabytes of data are monitored, sorted and watched. Things such as emails, personal messages, website visits. All monitored by the NSA. This group is asking for this type of activity to stop, so that Americans can regain their privacy.
This news video deals with the role of government and freedom. Are Americans willing to give up freedoms in order to be better protected? I think that the whole NSA scandal is outrageous. The department seems as like it has lost is focus and is spying on Americans, not threats. I agree with the video creators. Americans deserve privacy and the NSA is not respecting this constitutional right. This video is an example of media spreading a sole idea.
I agree with James they should be focused on looking into people who are actual threats. The NSA watching innocent people is just disturbing.
