NSA doesn’t collect information on US citizens, right?

“NSA Reports 75% Increase in Unmasking U.S. Identities Under Foreign Surveillance Law in 2018,” The Wall Street Journal, May 1, 2019.  Nearly 17,000 US persons (citizens and companies) had their data intercepted AND their identities disclosed last year.

How do you protect your information?  Is there privacy in the US?

Governance.  Security. Information.  I figure so much of Information Governance relates to Security, it needed its own theme.
