The article that I have chosen to reflect upon was written by Ken Dilanian of the LA Times and is about the Snowden's latest leak about the NSA. In the latest leak according to the article, Snowden said that the NSA was giving Israel the rights to look at the digital information of private citizens of the United States and hold it for up to a year. Meaning that the Israeli government can hold information on any random person who is not in the government for an extended period of time. Just think that your information on Facebook at this moment could be stored in another countries data base. This goes hand in hand with the issue of digital media and social justice because some people might view our private information being shared with other people as wrong. Most people would not be comfortable with this idea because it is their private information being shared with other people. The fact that we are just finding this information out is crazy. It goes back to the idea of personal privacy and if we are willing to give that up for security. Is there a justifiable claim for the government to give our personal information to a foreign power? How do you feel about personal information of US citizens being shared with other countries?
