An American
rights activist criticizes the U.S. government for increasingly infringing the
rights of privacy of the nation with the help of new technology, including
advanced drones.
“Americans no
longer feel that they have the right of privacy even if they aren’t doing any
criminal activity,” said Lisa Savage, member of BringOurWarDollarsHome.org in a
phone interview with U.S. desk on Wednesday.
“The use of
drones to surveil Americans is part of a much larger trend of looking at our
emails, and tapping our cell phone conversations that is ongoing since 9/11th
and the use of drones is introducing technology that allows far more
surveillance form the air of people that aren’t aware that they are being
watched,” added Savage who is also local coordinator of CODEPINK in
Maine.
