Global surveillance whistleblowers are people who have seen or heard something that is not right with how governments or other organizations are watching us all. They have decided to tell people about it, even though it might get them in trouble. Think of it like telling a grown-up that someone is doing something they shouldn't be doing, like taking someone's toy without asking.
These whistleblowers have access to secret information about how governments are monitoring everyone's emails, phone calls, and even text messages. They may feel concerned that this information is being collected without people's permission or knowledge, which can be a violation of privacy.
Unfortunately, some governments do not want these whistleblowers to share this information with the public. They might try to punish them or even threaten them so that they don't talk. Despite these risks, global surveillance whistleblowers believe that people have the right to know what is happening and that they are doing the right thing by sharing it.
It’s important to understand that their actions not only raise awareness but also spark debates about what governments can or should do to monitor citizens. It's up to individuals to form their own opinions on such issues.
