2 BILLION dollars is spent on the NSA spy center which intercepts AMERICAN civilians' private emails and phone calls. Although the NSA refuses to confirm, for all intents and purposes the agency has begun collecting massive amounts of information for the intelligence community.
The NSA is collecting private emails, cell phone calls, Google SEARCHES, and personal data algorithms.
The NSA may use CISPA (which was passed by the House on APR 18,2013) which allows private companies to share private consumer information with the government. This will allow the government to attain user information overriding all laws including privacy laws.
