ACLU Highlights Rising Surveillance Concerns Over Privacy Rights

Law enforcement authorities in the U.S. still need a warrant to listen in on your phone calls or to read your emails and text messages. But they don't need your permission or a warrant to track who you call, who calls you, who you text, email or vice versa. Plus, your activities on social media sites like Facebook are also fair game -- all in real time. . And the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) said that kind of surveillance of Americans' electronic communications has exploded in recent years. The ACLU contends that even if this monitoring does not include the "content" of those communications, it is yet another invasion of citizens' privacy.

Understanding Project Echelon: Global Surveillance And Data Monitoring

Hints and speculations about the true nature and capabilities of these "all ears" spacecraft have reached folkloric proportions. Some reports suggest that cell phone traffic, ground line chats and faxes, telexes and satellite telecommunications links, as well as Internet emails . . . . Hints and speculations about the true nature and capabilities of these "all ears" spacecraft have reached folkloric proportions. Some reports suggest that cell phone traffic, ground line chats and faxes, telexes and satellite telecommunications links, as well as Internet emails are intercepted around the planet. Once electronically gobbled up, the information is sifted by supercomputers loaded with souped-up software to flag keywords of special interest to a network of must-know-it-all intelligence communities. This worldwide chunky-style data interception is purportedly run by the U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), under the rubric of Project Echelon. Sister intelligence agencies in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and other like-minded governments or organizations are apparently in cahoots with the United States in operating this super-secret network of ground, airborne, and satellite gear.

Project Echelon ignites debate over its global surveillance abilities and their impact on privacy and civil liberties, highlighting tensions between security and personal freedom.
