NSA Surveillance

NSA surveillance involves the U.S. National Security Agency monitoring electronic communications—such as phone calls, emails, and internet activity—to detect and prevent threats like terrorism. Using advanced technology and data analysis, the NSA collects and analyzes vast amounts of digital information, often by tapping into fiber optic cables or accessing data from service providers. While aimed at national security, this widespread surveillance raises privacy concerns, as it involves collecting data from many individuals, sometimes without their knowledge or consent. The balance between security and privacy is a central issue in NSA surveillance practices.
