The Snowden Matrix

The Snowden Matrix is a framework that categorizes different types of government surveillance and data collection practices revealed by Edward Snowden. It organizes these activities based on factors like the scope (targeted vs. broad), methods used (hardware, software, or legal requests), and the types of data collected (communication content or metadata). This matrix helps understand how governments, especially the NSA, monitor individuals and organizations worldwide. It highlights the complexity and scale of modern surveillance, raising important questions about privacy, security, and oversight in the digital age.
