Globe and Mail: Beware of data spying, former NSA official warns Canadians

In this morning’s Globe and Mail , journalist Colin Freeze spoke with a former technical director of the U.S. National Security Agency, William Binney, about massive data-spying programs. Binney expressed great concern that governments are gathering a lot of information about the public and the urgent need for citizens to speak up. “Unless democracies wake up and start saying ‘We don’t want our government to hold this data,’ then they have a really good chance of losing their democracy.”
