The NSA has been part of a campaign recently trying to make it legal for them to spy on Americans by tapping into their phones, reading their texts, and basically knowing everything we do. To them this is a way to keep everyone safe from the evils in this country. They believe they would be able to stop crimes before they are committed by using this spy technology. However, is it right for them to be able to listen in to all of our private calls? As shown by this article, there is a bill going to Obama's desk giving the NSA unprecedented authority to collect and store data belonging to American citizens. They are also insisting that tech companies redesign their products to make them more surveillance friendly. Basically they are making it so no one will be able to have any privacy anymore.

No one in this country should have the power to know what everyone is doing and thinking. We as Americans deserve to have some privacy, and this is practically violating our fourth amendment rights against unreasonable searches. Our information is being given to the government for no reason, other than the fact that they want it. This is a very dangerous situation we are in, as it is almost like we are turning into George Orwell's 1984, with everyone being watched and listened to at all times. This NSA spying needs to stop soon, before it gets out of hand.
