The New York Times has a major piece out that reveals the NSA, since 2010, has been building graphs of American citizens' "social connections that can identify their associates, their locations at certain times, their traveling companions and other personal information." Most notably, these are American citizens NOT suspected of any wrongdoing, and the surveillance graphs are built using "material from public, commercial and other sources, including bank codes, insurance information, Facebook profiles, passenger manifests, voter registration rolls and GPS location information, as well as property records and unspecified tax data."
The NSA is a shadow government agency that I exposed in my third edition. It really ought to be disbanded.
