Anyways, I have heard from multiple sources that despite not being legally allowed to surveill US citizens, the nsa spies on everyone with a computer essentially as they have had packet analyzers installed on the servers of ISPs. Internet service providers are legally forced to comply. Not necessarily to read anything manually but with a computer program of some kind. Essentially, they are not even performing surveillance to catch people breaking any laws, as the nsa is not even authorized to surveill those within the USA. The program is unconstitutional, but it continues to this day.

In addition, I personally feel that this is a serious invasion of privacy, and I feel that people should be much more outraged about it than they are. Sure, 99 percent of the time it's a computer program looking at it. Though, even law abiding citizens could theoretically find themselves being examined and watched in secret. Simply because they say something that is a bit "different than the norm", according to the judgment of people behind closed doors.

My guess would be that some people who fall outside of the norm in some way get looked at by our newfound "secret police" with increased scrutiny, even if they did nothing wrong and simply triggered some NSA keyword checker online. And they may not even know it. Hell, I would not be the least bit surprised if the server may have seen this post as "something to read over", just because I said the words NSA and surveillance a few times in it and wasn't happy with the idea of unconstitutional surveillance on law abiding citizens. I don't care as I'm simply exercising my first amendment right to be outraged at the mass surveillance program. I feel that this program goes against what the founding fathers envisioned, and I think people just "forgot about this" far too easily.
