Our event is a series of events which are around the Edward Snowden NSA leaks about the NSA spying on the online activities of people in the United States. The main point about our project is around the idea should we keep our privacy or should we give it up for safety. This revolves around the idea of digital media and social justice because it is our privacy that is being invaded and it isn’t a thing that most people in America want. Most people think that what happens on a persons people computer is totally private and only for their eyes. More recently, there is the issue of the NSA tapping Google and Yahoo databases, and the overseas fiber lines. All of these leaks have come as startling news to people and come back to the ideas of social justice and digital media, which is the protection of our privacy and rights online.
There are two articles I have found revolving around the NSA.
http://www.latimes.com/world/la-fg-spying-phones-20131029,0,3235295.story#axzz2j4iPs543 - This article is from the LA Times about how the US is spying on its allies by collecting data of online activity in other countries outside the US.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/nsa-infiltrates-links-to-yahoo-google-data-centers-worldwide-snowden-documents-say/2013/10/30/e51d661e-4166-11e3-8b74-d89d714ca4dd_story.html This article is about the NSA collecting data on Yahoo and Google for the protection of US Citizens.
This creates a debate on is less privacy good for more safety or is it the other way around
