0:00:00.704,0:00:03.955
the government is monitoring private phone calls

0:00:03.955,0:00:07.458
your children and my my children private phone calls and tracking who their associates are

0:00:19.595,0:00:24.138
this June we learned that out private lives are not longer private

0:00:24.292,0:00:27.299
the US government is secretly tracking the emails

0:00:27.299,0:00:31.144
purchases, text messages, location and phone calls

0:00:31.144,0:00:33.467
of people all over the world

0:00:33.467,0:00:36.206
Ed Rooney

0:00:36.206,0:00:39.224
with code names like PRISM and XKEYSCORE

0:00:39.224,0:00:42.371
this network of monitoring programs

0:00:42.371,0:00:44.740
is just one part of largest survailance system in the history

0:00:44.740,0:00:49.708
it is open and and it is illegal and operates in total secrecy.

0:00:49.708,0:00:52.828
Under the system the government can know where you have been,

0:00:52.828,0:00:55.204
where you are, and where you're going.

0:00:55.204,0:00:58.174
The program was only exposed when former

0:00:58.174,0:01:01.095
NSA contractor Edward Snoden leaked documents

0:01:01.095,0:01:03.617
detailing the extensive data collection.

0:01:03.617,0:01:07.342
I've got information man new shit is come to light.

0:01:07.342,0:01:08.874
The presidcent, the NSA

0:01:08.874,0:01:11.262
and their lawyers have tried to deflect the public outrage

0:01:11.518,0:01:15.632
by distortign the facts and misleading the public about the process

0:01:15.632,0:01:21.440
US courts have never allowed the government[br]to run a spying program of this scale.

0:01:21.440,0:01:22.182
So how this happen?

0:01:22.182,0:01:25.972
Well, lets take a step back, for a minute.

0:01:26.971,0:01:33.364
America's founders hated oppressive British [br]survailance and unreasonable search and seizure.

0:01:33.406,0:01:36.249
the issue here is independence.

0:01:36.249,0:01:41.050
Understandign the privacy was necessary to almost[br]every basic right in our constitution.

0:01:41.050,0:01:43.081
They established the forth amendment.

0:01:43.081,0:01:47.781
The 4th amendment exist to prevent the government from tracking or searching your personal information,

0:01:48.025,0:01:51.491
unless they have good reason to believe a crime is happening

0:01:51.491,0:01:55.195
it's all there in black and white clear and crystal.

0:01:55.367,0:02:00.592
Using the NSA the US government is violating the highest law of the country, the Constitution.

0:02:03.554,0:02:06.992
Government surveillance has gone on for decades.

0:02:07.393,0:02:09.474
but things got a lot worse

0:02:09.474,0:02:10.312
in 2001

0:02:10.312,0:02:12.444
when the congress passed the patriot act

0:02:12.444,0:02:14.742
giveing secret ... court more authority

0:02:14.742,0:02:17.117
to grant survalance request

0:02:17.117,0:02:18.691
on a large scale

0:02:18.691,0:02:20.802
instead of getting a warant for individual person

0:02:20.802,0:02:21.707
suspected of crime

0:02:21.707,0:02:24.415
the governemnt can search a large list of persons

0:02:24.415,0:02:27.669
even though under the no suspssiion of criminal activity

0:02:27.669,0:02:31.510
FISa courts aren't required to what court orders have been approved

0:02:31.510,0:02:33.668
and according evedance is needed

0:02:33.668,0:02:36.060
under the 1789 request for authorizing

0:02:36.060,0:02:38.682
one was withdrawn by the government

0:02:38.682,0:02:41.550
all the other one were grandted

0:02:41.550,0:02:43.392
it is a rubish stamp

0:02:43.392,0:02:45.056
all of this is protected by

0:02:45.056,0:02:45.976
secricy

0:02:45.976,0:02:47.860
with no system for checks and balances

0:02:47.860,0:02:49.978
if the NSA is collectiing information

0:02:49.978,0:02:52.808
on you based on what you read, or the websites you go to

0:02:52.808,0:02:55.974
you'll likly never know or get to stop it

0:02:55.974,0:02:57.577
no matter who you are

0:02:57.577,0:02:59.642
programs like PRISM

0:02:59.642,0:03:01.327
completley ignore the purpose of

0:03:01.327,0:03:02.736
warants while claiming

0:03:02.736,0:03:03.832
to work within the law.

0:03:03.832,0:03:08.222
the US government have turned the internte we love into something never intended to be

0:03:08.222,0:03:15.834
a tool for survaling everyone.

0:03:15.834,0:03:18.472
this is the most essential problem.

0:03:18.472,0:03:19.972
thought the secret courts

0:03:19.972,0:03:21.431
and secret inperpertation

0:03:21.431,0:03:23.521
of the laws

0:03:23.521,0:03:24.974
US government agents can illegally track

0:03:24.974,0:03:26.801
a user based on things like

0:03:26.801,0:03:28.308
key words

0:03:28.308,0:03:30.448
... who uses web for web portal

0:03:30.448,0:03:32.474
data has been collected

0:03:32.474,0:03:34.310
for years

0:03:34.310,0:03:35.892


0:03:35.892,0:03:37.556
of the most popular websites

0:03:37.556,0:03:48.169
gmail, facebook, yahoo, and many more

0:03:48.169,0:03:49.921
this 1000 of words that government can track.

0:03:49.921,0:04:02.255
words like "marijuana"

0:04:02.255,0:04:03.806
almost any email

0:04:03.806,0:04:04.676
you send

0:04:04.676,0:04:06.359
might get your account monitored

0:04:06.359,0:04:08.892
this kind of tracking

0:04:08.892,0:04:10.974
can make you second

0:04:10.974,0:04:12.395
guess what you say

0:04:12.395,0:04:15.645
that's why ... spying is unconstitutional

0:04:15.645,0:04:17.890
absues are inividbale and data leaks are already happneding

0:04:17.890,0:04:20.806
spying on out internet usage give our governemnt

0:04:20.806,0:04:22.869
power over our lives

0:04:22.869,0:04:23.973
what happens to

0:04:23.973,0:04:24.985
free speach

0:04:24.985,0:04:25.804
free assosiation

0:04:25.804,0:04:27.029
or free press

0:04:27.029,0:04:29.472
when everyone is under constant survalance

0:04:29.472,0:04:36.221
even in our provate moments
