What party or parties are responsible for establishing social norms?

Is the NSA the government organization responsible for bugging people's phones? The organization has been around since 1952 but I didn't learn of they were until Obama got into office.

I know Edward Snowden was a former NSA employee who leaked government secrets to the general public when Obama was in office. He was labeled a "hero" because he was disclosing info about the government that the government didn't want made public. Of course Mr. Snowden got fired from his job at the NSA and as far as I know he's still on the lam from the government and is still hiding out in Russia somewhere.

I know the NSA monitors what people look at online.

People say bugging people's phones and digital devices came about from post-911 paranoia, but the government has been bugging people's phones for decades, long before Obama and G.W. Bush were in office. I don't know about people's digital devices though, especially those from the late 20th century.

I said in another thread I met a young man outside of my local library a few years ago; he educated me about current 21st century tech and told me how people's digital devices and cellphones and smartphones were bugged by the government.

There's a classic episode of The Jeffersons, from the '70s or '80s, in which George Jefferson makes a phone call and he made some comment about the U.S. president over the phone that was taken the wrong way, and not long after two Secret Service agents show up at his apartment because they misconstrued what George said as a threat.

Is it the same friend that send that email to you (which you forwarded to me) that quoted the Bible and criticized the American Government, several US Presidentals, and the United Nations?
