On Jordan’s commentary on the NSA “Thecost of Anonymity”, I will have to say I agree with him one hundred percent. He
mentions that although the NSA says that they aren’t evading our privacy and is
only doing it to protect us, perhaps 10-20 years they will have much more
control over us. Also, the information they are gathering now can affect us in
the future. Even if it’s something that we didn’t meant or had intentions to be
negative. Jordan seems to be against the NSA tactics of gathering data.
I think that these are baby steps. The outcome
will be that they will know everything about us and privacy would no longer
exist to a U.S citizen. The NSA already has a lot of invasive control on us. We
are discouraged of what we want to say because it can have consequences. Things
can be used against us. Our amendments will then be compromised. Which, they
already are. I don’t think this is the
best way to keep our country secure. It is to invasive and non-constitutional. Perhaps
under programs should be tested to see if it has a different affect. In the
future if this keeps going on, I ask myself “what else will they do?’’, how far
will they take it? I don’t know and I don’t want to find out. Which is why I think
it needs to be stopped now.
The NSA should not be given so much
power over us. It should only be used against real threats like terrorists. Not
people who they think are terrorists but that they are actually involved with
terrorist groups.
