Legal prohibitions bar NSA domestic surveillance – but the lack of a credible oversight mechanism means the NSA actively captures US person data through section 702 and XO 12333

This study is the first to provide substantial empirical documentation of a chilling effect, both domestically in the shorter term and internationally in the longer term, that appears to be related to increased awareness of government surveillance online. Furthermore, this chilling effect appears in countries other than the US to apply to search behavior that is not strictly related to the government but instead forms part of the private domain.

CONCLUSION When historians write about this period in U.S. history it could very well be that one of the themes will be how the United States lost its global technology leadership to other nations. And clearly one of the factors they would point to is the long-standing privileging of U.S. national security interests over U.S. industrial and commercial interests when it comes to U.S. foreign policy. This has occurred over the last few years as the U.S. government AND . government enable its tech industry to effectively compete in the global market.
