US Government Planning To Restrict NSA


US Government Planning To Restrict NSA

Not too long ago word got out about just how much information the NSA was collecting both online and through phone calls. Obviously millions of Americans were upset but millions of people around the world were also affected by this awful invasion of privacy. Fortunately today the president, as well as a new task force, announced that they’ll soon be working on developing new guidelines for NSA to prevent such an invasion of privacy in the future.

Obviously this is great news for everyone in America simply because it means privacy will finally be restored. This is also great news for the millions of people around the world that were being monitored by NSA illegally, although it is hard to say exactly what will be changing. At this point President Obama and his administration had expressed that they simply want to stop the overreaching powers of the NSA and bring it into check. No word just yet on when anything will begin to happen but this move is supported by nearly everyone, including politicians on both sides of the aisle.

This is absolutely a step in the right direction and will likely be the first of many. The Obama administration is hoping to make these changes as soon as possible, so hopefully soon the NSA spying will eventually stop.

Tech Giants Support NSA Overhaul Proposal


Tech Giants Support NSA Overhaul Proposal

Ever since news of the NSA’s spying capability and extreme reach began to spread millions of Americans have become concerned even more about their privacy online. At this point the NSA still has very few limitations or restrictions but as support continues to grow among the people more and more companies have also stepped into the fight. This week numerous technology giant such as Microsoft, Google, Facebook, and many more sent an official letter in support of much tighter NSA restrictions.

This is great news for Americans as well as people worldwide simply due to the incredible reach of the NSA right now. Nearly everything online is tracked or monitored by the NSA according to reports and this obviously has many people very upset. The fact that so many people support tighter restrictions is a good thing, the fact that technology companies like these are stepping on board is an even better piece of information. Many experts feel it is only a matter of time before some sort of NSA overhaul or restriction change happens and continued support from companies like this are likely to be the only possible way to do that. More companies are expected to sign the letter in support as well in the coming weeks.
