You are being watched — How NSA surveillance programs are spying on you
The heat map above produced by Boundless Informant summarising data records from 504 separate Dial Number Recognition (DNR) and Digital Network Intelligence (DNI) collection sources. In the map, countries that are under surveillance are assigned a color from green, representing least coverage to red, most intensive surveillance.
There is nothing such as SECURE connections or SECURE websites, once you connect to the internet they spy on you. They plug into everything just to steal your information.
You might have heard of PRISM last year, a mass electronic surveillance data mining program launched by the National Security Agency (NSA) then things went quite. While most of users didn’t even know what was PRISM about, some classified documents leaked to The Guardian talking about other projects created to monitor user activities over the internet.
The following is a leaked training material for a project called XKeyscore, a tool that NSA made to monitor almost everything a user can do on the internet. You can find more about this program in the long article by Glenn Greenwald for The Guardian.
I’ll quote what The Guardian said to explain how this tool works:
A top secret National Security Agency program allows analysts to search with no prior authorization through vast databases containing emails, online chats and the browsing histories of millions of individuals, according to documents provided by whistleblower Edward Snowden.
Training materials for XKeyscore detail how analysts can use it and other systems to mine enormous agency databases by filling in a simple on-screen form giving only a broad justification for the search. The request is not reviewed by a court or any NSA personnel before it is processed.
You can go through the presentation below to learn more about how governments are using tools like this to watch us for their own benefit. And then you will have one of the only 2 options, either to live with it or to PROTEST against it.
