<p style="text-align: left">I was looking into what the 2013 Edward Snowden NSA leaks revealed, and it revealed quite a lot about the kind of information that the NSA is collecting from users of big tech giants
services, such as Google and Microsoft, through their "PRISM" mass surveilence program. This data includes, but is not limited to: emails, chat logs, videos, "cloud" storage data, phone
call records, etc. All of this without a warrant or other legally justifying document, mind you. This is highly invasive for end users, and is absolutely appalling. The worst part of it
all is that it's not just data from other countries outside of the US, but the US itself too. That means that the NSA is SPYING on it's OWN CITIZENS, all in the name of
"counterterrorism" and "protecting your freedom and the homeland". It's all just a load of bullshit, and an excuse to attempt to justify these huge invasions of privacy, and the rise of
mass surveilence. Ever since 9/11, we've seen a steep increase in mass surveilence from our favourite three letter agencies, such as the NSA and the CIA. All our government has done is
take advantage of our fear after 9/11, and exploit it for their own interests, not the interests of the people. It's only continued to get worse year after year, and add that on top of
the massive amounts of tech companies that surveil you for their own interests. It's just a privacy nightmare alltogether, and I believe it needs to be stopped. We shouldn't let
governments and companies control us in these absolutely nasty ways, and we should always be ready to fight back.</p>
