Ed Snowden blew the whistle on this spying and after doing so had to flee the country because the Obama administration wanted him locked away for Treason.
Basically to sum it up, he worked for the US Government (NSA), and found out that the US Government was spying on all American Cell phone calls (among other things). And as it turned out, at the time the courts had determined (and wrongfully so), that anyone using a wireless device was knowingly giving up their right to privacy so this spying was considered legal. However many fought this and it has finally made it to the supreme court.
The Supreme court has decided that NO you do not give up your right to privacy by using a mobile device!

Myself as an advocate for Crypto Currency I value my privacy and Ed Snowden is a great resource for those of us who would like to learn more about protecting our privacy. The Bitcoin and Crypto movement is a slap in the face to the government and the centralized banking system, the more we can free ourselves from their control the better the lives of the citizens will be. When the US freed themselves from the Tyranny of the Royal Family a new nation and Age of Freedom was born. However the larger the government grows the less freedom will be kept so we must continue to fight to remain free but you know to know those rights and to quote GI Joe, "Knowing is half the battle". If you do not know your rights, what rights do you have? Bitcoin is a weapon, one that is capable or freeing us from those who could control us through poverty and debt, but it has to survive long enough to live up to its potential.
