This TED talk on avoiding surveillance with the phone in your pocket was very interesting. He talked about new tech companies and the way they use encryption to stop the government from tracking text messages, FaceTime, and other apps. This was making the NSA quite angry because it limited the amount of conversations being monitored, and there wasn't much they could do about it.
I always thought that everything we do on our phone is being monitored and that our privacy was little to none, but it seems like these big tech companies are doing what they can to keep our calls and messages private. By keeping them private does that pose any threat to our nation if it is becoming immensely harder to track conversations. The presenter mentions how their our bad people in this world, and making it harder to track these individuals puts stress on the NSA.
Technology surveillance isn't only done by our government, but also by third party hackers who are trying to steal information. Tech Safety is a real thing that our society should be aware of especially with the continuation of technology growth. We live in a time where all of information is in our pocket, and most of the time our government should be the least of our worries with cellphone surveillance.
