After reviewing the information Snowden released, I agree with his actions bringing the American government to level with its people. In my eyes he is a modern patriot who used the checks and balances system to ensure the government stays truthful to its people. When he broke the law he exposed the government of breaking laws. If Snowden was held accountable for his illegal act, then the government should be as well. I believe he shed light on just the start of many things to come out that the…

electronic devices watching or listening to you.The privacy violations Americans experience today are similar to the privacy violations in 1984 because the government spies on us through our phones, listen to our conversation through mics, and track us through our wifi and GPS. In the book “1984” by Orwell, Big Brother had this thing called a “telescreen” that watches the people's everyday move. The people from Oceania are getting their privacy violated by these telescreens. An example…

The information you share on social media is fair game but the information you share in the privacy over the phone during a call should be respected. Security should not invade liberties without going up for a vote to support the democracy system we have in the country today. The NSA ran a convert operation, ACT 215, where they would tap…
