Ars Technica brings us a short look inside of Citizen Lab with Inside Citizen Lab, the "Hacker Hothouse" protecting you from Big Brother.
Citizen Lab, the watchdog group Deibert founded over a decade ago at the University of Toronto that's now orbited by a globe-spanning network of hackers, lawyers, and human rights advocates. From exposing the espionage ring that hacked the Dalai Lama to uncovering the commercial spyware being sold to repressive regimes, Citizen Lab has played a pioneering role in combing the Internet to illuminate covert landscapes of global surveillance and censorship. At the same time, it's also taken the role of an ambassador, connecting the Internet's various stakeholders from governments to security engineers and civil rights activists.

Sounds like they are trying to expose the activities of groups such as the NSA. The NSA's job and every other foreign equivalent's job is to spy For their Country. The problem comes when such groups start spying on their own citizens. That is when you know things are not going well for the citizens of said country.
