Safeguarding Our Privacy and Our Values in an Age of Mass
Surveillance America's mass surveillance programs, once secret, can
no longer be ignored. While Edward Snowden began the process in
2013 with his leaks of top secret documents, the Obama
administration's own reforms have also helped bring the National
Security Agency and its programs of signals intelligence collection
out of the shadows. The real question is: What should we do about
mass surveillance? Timothy Edgar, a long-time civil liberties
activist who worked inside the intelligence community for six years
during the Bush and Obama administrations, believes that the NSA's
programs are profound threat to the privacy of everyone in the
world. At the same time, he argues that mass surveillance programs
can be made consistent with democratic values, if we make the hard
choices needed to bring transparency, accountability, privacy, and
human rights protections into complex programs of intelligence
collection. Although the NSA and other agencies already comply with
rules intended to prevent them from spying on Americans, Edgar
argues that the rules-most of which date from the 1970s-are
inadequate for this century. Reforms adopted during the Obama
administration are a good first step but, in his view, do not go
nearly far enough. Edgar argues that our communications today-and
the national security threats we face-are both global and digital.
In the twenty first century, the only way to protect our privacy as
Americans is to do a better job of protecting everyone's privacy.
Beyond Surveillance: Privacy, Mass Surveillance, and the Struggle
to Reform the NSA explains both why and how we can do this, without
sacrificing the vital intelligence capabilities we need to keep
ourselves and our allies safe. If we do, we set a positive example
for other nations that must confront challenges like terrorism
while preserving human rights. The United States already leads the
world in mass surveillance. It can lead the world in mass
surveillance reform.
