I know there's a mass of people essentially saying "but its for our safety!" but this shows that NSA citizen surveillance can be used against the people because it is showing the NSA is spying on you and making a profile of you so that they can neutralize you if you try to become a politician that is deemed by the NSA to be "radical."
Frankly, something needs to be done to curb citizen surveillance. Because this is proof that its being used against us and that its detrimental to democracy by purposely slandering political figures using government programs to maintain the status-quo two party system.
I know, some will say "what do I need to worry about, I don't go into politics" but this seriously limits the mount of political candidates the people can choose from if they've all been driven away due to fabricated sexual scandals.
Any thoughts?

Edited by Spartan147Eli: 11/28/2013 1:01:44 PMThe reason I'm not upset over this is because it's being used against radicals. Why would I vote for someone on the far right or left anyway? We need more moderates, and having something that limits the amount of radicals in government sounds like a good way to do that.
