On May 10, experts are gathering before the US Senate to debate a few of the NSA’s most robust internet surveillance programs. But there may be something else we can do that would make Americans more safe than any kind of surveillance, according to Edward Snowden, who became a household name when he leaked classified documents to journalists in 2013. He tweeted his thoughts below: Snowden, perhaps the world's most famous whistle-blower, has a point. About 1.24 million people worldwide die in car accidents each year, and that number is expected to hit 2.2 million by 2030. Self-driving cars, which would eliminate a lot of human error, could help alleviate that stat, according to a recent study by the Eno Centre for Transportation. If about 90% of cars on American roads were autonomous, the number of accidents would drop from six million a year to 1.3 million. And deaths would likely fall from 33,000 to 11,300, Tech Insider's Cadie Thompson notes. The NSA hearing will focus on "702 surveillance," which references the section of a 1978 law that allows the NSA to collect internet data about foreigners, Mother Jones reports. It also highlights two key NSA mass surveillance programs: one that lets the government monitor internet companies and another that taps into the web's main infrastructure. Privacy advocates argue that the programs will grant the NSA unlimited access to data about American citizens. The NSA, on the other hand, says surveillance will help prevent terrorist attacks around the world. http://www.businessinsider.com/would-self-driving-cars-make-us-safer-2016-5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jogs Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 The excuse that Surveillance will ward off terrorist is a lame excuse. They just want more control over the lives of the people. They even have a big hand over the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
