The 5 Eyes

-

They are always watchinggggg-------


The 5 eyes are an intelligence agency that consists of five countries ( USA, UK, Australia, New Zeland, and Canada). Theses countries survey different parts of the world and then give each other their findings "unedited" meaning not tampered with. They give each other the raw footage so there is nothing that anyone can hide.


In the image above you can see which country is responsible for monitoring which region. 


The 5 eyes formed during WWII. The USA signed a treaty with the UK called the UKUSA agreement for cooperation in signals intelligence with Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the USA. At the time it was not specified as to what each country did until recent information about "what country surveys what" was unveiled.

Upon reading this if you are in shook (as was I when reading this) you should also know that the 5 eyes are not the only survey intelligence agencies in place. Along with the 5 eyes, there is the 9 eyes and the 14 eyes. These are like the 5 eyes but just include more countries.
The 5 eyes are a smaller group located within the 9 eyes and then the 9 eyes are a smaller group located inside the 14 eyes 


BUT HOW DOES THIS RELATE TO YOU?!?!?! 

Well, If you were to look at my previous blog post about your online presence you will notice that there is A LOT of information about you online! Meaning that anything you put on the internet, look up on the internet or anything you access on the internet is being recorded by the five eyes. While yes you are only one small person of a billion+ people, what you are doing still matters to them. The whole point of the system is to be able to watch what people are doing so id someone is planning anything sketchy then they are able to plan for it or go after them.

In an article from USA Today, we are told that the Americas get an average of 18 spam calls per month! WOW, that is outrageous. While technology is advancing with caller ID telephone companies have been able to identify 26 billion spam calls, which is an 18% increase compared to 2018 for all countries. If you look at the United State individually you will see that the market saw a 7% increase in spam calls for just this year alone. In the US specifically, most spam calls are Robocalls . These types of calls have increased significantly from 7% to 35% which means that almost every third spam call is a robot generated.

Online Presence

Have you ever taken a step back and looked at your online presence? I am online all the time but I never actually think about the digital footprint I am leaving.  Laura, What Social Media sites are you apart of?  - Facebook  - Instagram - Twitter - TikTok - Snapchat - Pinterest - LinkedIn ... and those are just the ones that I can think of off the top of my head. Right there I am apart of 7 different social media sites. If you take those 7 sites plus all the shopping sites I have accounts with, email accounts, streaming services, blogs, or other sites relating to school. I have to be apart of at least 100 different sites.  In order to have an account for these various sites, you have to insert certain personal information. For example, your name, address, birthday, age, password, and answer security questions. On Facebook though, it is a different story. I feel that facebook is even more personal than any other social media site. Face
