Can we trust anything with technology?

Most of us that have some awareness of the news are aware that the government has used a lot of questionable practices to collect data about people. Today, I came across news article that points to another way the government is collecting data. Apparently, the NSA and British intelligence have teamed by sharing ways to collect data from phone apps. These apps include ones commonly used such as angry birds and various social media apps. Recently, a bunch of user information was taken from the Snapchat app. Though I do not believe that any data on the internet is completely safe, one thing that I think will increase the safety of our personal information is to use different passwords for apps on our phones, because phone apps seem to be more vulnerable.
