In the video I watched “Obama Administration Considers Assassinating Another American Overseas” dealt with issue of assassination towards an American citizen. The issue begin question in this video is weather is it right or wrong to assonate a U.S citizen whom is a member of al-Qaida. There is no evidence being provided by the U.S government that the former U.S citizen will make an attack but they have concluded predictions. The main issue that many people do not agree with is the power that the U.S president truly has towards citizen’s lives. As Jeremy Scahill mentions the U.S government feels the right to be able to take lives without feeling the need to provide evidence. I was surprise when watching this video, I never really thought how much power the U.S government has over citizens but I do agree with taking action upon those individuals who present threat against us.

In the second video I watched “Apple Drops Objections to App Tracking U.S. Strikes Overseas” it dealt with the news about the new app Metadata+ by Josh Begley. This app was rejected three times prior to finally being accepted by apple. The creator Josh Begley had been normally named drone+ but after not being accepted multiple times, it got renamed to Metadata+, when Apple finally accepted the app. This new app is made to inform us when drone air strikes. We are now able to get notifications throughout the day to our phone. I think this new app can give us great knowledge in realizing what is actually going on around us.
