The NSA has been becoming more active in the United States, tracking what people do in their private lives and their own homes. However, the NSA tell us they are only doing these things for our protection, and that they don't mean to harm anyone with the information they collect. Jameel Jaffer and Brett Max Kaufman tell us the real meaning of what the NSA say they do, in detail. Some of the words the NSA use to describe what they do include surveillance, collect, relevant, and targeted. The NSA do not tell us the full scope of what they actually do to fulfill these words, and keep it more or less hidden. The truth is far from pleasant, as it turns out. They keep records of who we call, when, and for how long we talked to them. They have been doing this for the past seven years. Any of these records can be used against us in court or elsewhere. They also collect our emails, and other forms of electronic communication. This is an invasion of our personal lives and is very dangerous for the citizens of the United States.
Jaffer and Kaufman's was very effective for helping us understand just how the NSA spies on us. They make it clear which part of the NSA they are examining. They do use some complex language, however, that may not be understandable by all social classes or people. I feel that they should use simpler language to allow everyone to read it and understand it clearly. But overall, their writing style was effective and you could easily see what they were examining and how it affects us.
