Are We Being Watched...?

You bet we are. It would seem that more and more every day, our movements are being covered.

To some this is comforting, while others find it to be more than a little unsettling. Here are some of the facts from Listverse.

Drones




Although they stated the flights were completely lawful, in March 2016, the United States government admitted that it used drones to spy on American citizen for non-military purposes.

The details were only partially released, but it seemed the majority of the missions were said to be involved in search-and-rescue missions or to track wild fires and floods. Although this would seem perfectly understandable and even logical, perhaps because the FBI have admitted to using drones to spy as part of past investigations, the news made many American uneasy. An analyst at the time, Jay Stanley, also stated that due to technology moving as fast as it did, laws may need to be revised.

Now, I don't know about you, but I find this to be a little disturbing. Not that I'm doing anything wrong, but just on general principles, ya know?
