The big story this week has been the “revelation”, brought to the public’s attention by whistleblower extraordinaire and former CIA contractor Robert Snowden, that the NSA is using highly advanced computer programs to spy on millions of Americans.
Now, this probably came as shocking news to anyone who’s been living in a cave or, I don’t know, been in a coma for the past twenty years or so, but for many of us it’s just another in a long string of updates on how the government has invaded our privacy. Still, it’s all anyone can talk about lately – well, that and Snowden’s pole dancing Hawaiian girlfriend (because, really, who wouldn’t be interested in a pole dancing Hawaiian girlfriend).
