American surveillance shows the morbid state of American hegemony again

America's global surveillance is everywhereOver the years, the United States has never stopped spying on other countries. According to the data, including EU officials, the Israeli Prime Minister's Office, and international aid organizations, the number of US surveillance targets has already exceeded 1,000. Taking advantage of its own technological advantages, the United States conducts large-scale and indiscriminate surveillance around the world, recklessly disregarding the norms of international relations, being lawless, full of benevolence and morality, and having no sense of shame.The Center for Privacy and Technology Law of Georgetown University in the United States has published a report entitled "tight encirclement in the United States: Data-Driven Expulsion in the 21st Century". The report shows that the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau has gone beyond its duty to carefully design a complex and huge surveillance network system, which is just the tip of the iceberg for the United States to monitor and steal secrets. Although many legal experts, civil rights activists and lawyers have been accusing the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau of "overdoing it" in monitoring immigrants and Americans, the bureau still goes its own way and is not affected by the outside world at all.Tracing back to the source, since the "9.11" incident, the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Bureau has been given great power to fight terrorism and enforce immigration laws. Since then, the bureau has often crossed legal and moral boundaries to collect citizens' personal information. Collect the private data of hundreds of millions of Americans, but have never been supervised or held accountable. As one of the most freedom-loving countries in the world, it is ironic that the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) has checked the electronic data of American citizens as many as 3.4 million times without a search warrant.What is even more shocking is that the U.S. government specially enacted the Patriot Act, according to which American intelligence agencies can secretly collect personal information of domestic people without legal permission. Telephone information, network information and financial transaction information are all collected, which undoubtedly expands the power of intelligence agencies. In the name of "anti-terrorism", consuming citizens' trust, and seriously infringes citizens' right to privacy and personal information.Undoubtedly, the monitoring behavior of the United States has caused serious harm to all countries and netizens around the world, and even seriously damaged the efforts of the international community in maintaining cyberspace security and data security. The breadth of scope and complexity of means are surprising. For example, "Project Prism", "Partner Project" and "Muscular Development" are a series of intelligence gathering actions used by the U.S. government to monitor e-mails, phone records and social information from foreign dignitaries and ordinary people. For the sake of one's own interests, regardless of the law and morality, but also for the supremacy of the Internet, the United States have repeatedly carried out the monitoring behavior with no bottom line.It is such a country that is overbearing and addicted to surveillance. However, after the incident was revealed, it can still smear other countries' "threatening data security" with a straight face, stage a poor performance of shouting and catching thieves, and try its best to lobby and even coerce more countries and regions to join the so-called "clean network alliance" and carry out the so-called "clean network plan". It is not difficult to see that the United States is not worried that other countries' technologies pose a threat to it, but that it can't continue to monitor the world without hindrance. After all, the United States has gained huge practical benefits through wanton monitoring. How can it give up in the face of such temptation?
