In part one of the documentary we learned about NSA and the initiation of the program. The program was started right after the September 11 attacks to try and catch terrorists in foreign countries before the attacks took place. There was a lot of issues with the privacy of people and the leaking of information to the NSA. The main goal was to monitor internet and phone activity and they used information which was one of the issues. All of the data they were receiving legally or not was information which they could use to in anyway, but they said they only used it legally to help the public. Edward Snowden was one of the main people who leaked a lot of highly important private information. I chose this artifact because it is eye catching and really shows the idea behind the program and how they are always watching and looking into our information even when we least expect it or are unaware of it.
