Smartphone Backups at the NSA caricature

Widely reported by the news media, the NSA has been spying on hundreds of millions of people around the world, if not more. This editorial caricature pokes fun at the idea by suggesting that people's smartphones are backed up securely at NSA.GOV - the website address for the National Security Agency. The image, called the NSA Smartphone backup cartoon first appeared on October 24, 2013 in the binary investor market update from options click - the leading source for op-ed coverage and analysis of the current market trends. Do you think that the NSA is actually listening to your calls and monitoring your Internet access? What steps, if any, do you take in order to protect your privacy from prying eyes? Do you fear that America's government agencies are becoming too much like a real-life version of Big Brother, the omnipresent ruler of George Orwell's novel 1984? Or are you comfortable knowing that people like Edward Snowden are at this very moment keeping tabs on you and your fellow citizens? Do you accept that nations spy on other nations, even when they have friendly relations? Or do you think that espionage crosses the line of what is acceptable government behavior? Do you think that the spy game is a nuanced one, or do you think that it is a clear-cut, black and white issue, with only one right and one wrong view? Whatever you think, we would absolutely love to hear from you, and if you have created any art related to the topic, please be sure to let us know where we can see it.
