The NSA stands for National Security Agency. It’s the main producer and manager of signals intelligence for the United States government. Basically, it spies on people 24/7. Every time people blink, they know it. In short, they know our personal lives. They know your deepest, inner thoughts. They are hearing your most private conversations. There was this one incident with a girl whose web-cam kept turning on when she remembered turning it off. Every time she turned it off, it kept turning on. So she told her mother and her mother told the police. The police investigated and found out her next-door neighbor was spying on her. He was watching her dress, talking on the phone and listening to her conversations. He was probably an expert hacker and, maybe, a pervert. Knowing that the NSA is spying on people is an invasion of privacy.

They make sure everything’s okay with the world, but o think they should stick to that and not expand on it. As in, butt out! Our business is none of your business. I wonder if they would like knowing that they’re being watched 24/7. How would they react?
