The National Security Agency (NSA) is a U.S. government agency responsible for illegal surveillance programs, which works in collaboration with software giants to produce exploits and backdoors such as _NSAKEY.[1] Edward Snowden revealed that the NSA was spying on U.S. citizens through their phones.[2] In addition, the NSA spies on other countries including Denmark, Sweden, Norway, France, Germany, and the Netherlands.[3] The NSA is currently developing facial recognition technology.[4]
