What types of surveillance are legally allowable is constantly contested as new technologies emerge that must be tested against American constitutional principles and international law. In the wake of the Snowden revelations about the depth and scope of government spying, new concerns regarding protection of personal data have emerged and eroded trust in American government as well as private entities that have collaborated either willingly or unwillingly with the government.
