Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you – Joseph Heller<\/h3>\n

“Privacy today faces growing threats from a growing surveillance apparatus that is often justified in the name of national security. Numerous government agencies\u2014including the National Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security, and state and local law enforcement agencies\u2014intrude upon the private communications of innocent citizens, amass vast databases of who we call and when, and catalog \u201csuspicious activities\u201d based on the vaguest standards. The government\u2019s collection of this sensitive information is itself an invasion of privacy. But its use of this data is also rife with abuse. Innocuous data is fed into bloated watchlists, with severe consequences\u2014innocent individuals have found themselves unable to board planes, barred from certain types of jobs, shut out of their bank accounts, and repeatedly questioned by authorities. Once information is in the government\u2019s hands, it can be shared widely and retained for years, and the rules about access and use can be changed entirely in secret without the public ever knowing.” – Privacy and Surveillance | American Civil Liberties Union – https:\/\/goo.gl\/UHyq35<\/a><\/p>\n

“The undersigned companies believe that it is time for the world\u2019s governments to address the practices and laws regulating government surveillance of individuals and access to their information. \u00a0While the undersigned companies understand that governments need to take action to protect their citizens\u2019 safety and security, we strongly believe that current laws and practices need to be reformed. \u00a0Consistent with established global norms of free expression and privacy and with the goals of ensuring that government law enforcement and intelligence efforts are rule-bound, narrowly tailored, transparent, and subject to oversight, we hereby call on governments to endorse the following principles and enact reforms that would put these principles into action.” – Reform Government Surveillance – https:\/\/goo.gl\/HHyVNk<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
