Government Tracking The Internet

In closing, the government should monitor internet content to help stop crimes and save lives. Without the government monitoring, thousands of people would be at risk of losing their life due to terrorism or human trafficking and could also be scammed and lose money. The government protects its citizens

The government sees what you do on the internet, but what if, that’s not all. They have the access to see your day-to-day life. They can track you, they can see your posts, and they can see what you have done through the course of your life. When is all this taking their privilege too far? They are on the verge of violating freedom of speech. Expressing in any way, your beliefs and perspective, just can’t be done anymore. Many

Every day, the government believes it is acceptable to continue invading and searching our personal e-mails, messages, accounts, etc. Although they have the authority as a government, they do not have the right to invade our privacy as the 4th amendment states “The right of the people to be secure in

Imagine a world where your every move was being monitored. A dark world where it is no secret who you are, where you have been and who you associate with; now include who you love, who you pray to and what you just ate for dinner. The word privacy doesn’t exist in such world and it is such world that we are heading to.“Big Brother is watching you!” This quote by George Orwell couldn’t have been truer. Every aspect of our lives is being sorted through as Big Data this very moment. Government surveillance has prevailed by the name of security. But, is government surveillance of internet digital communications like social networks, cell phone calls, text messages, and emails really a public service of security? Or

The internet is an amazing technological advancement that opened the door to a connected society. Since the early days of the internet, people have built ways to safeguard their possessions with various security systems from thieves. Once people are in the cyberspace securing personal items or information gets a little trickier. It is common knowledge to assume government agencies have the means and possible authority to search the internet in its entirety, but should people grow mad over this blatant invasion of privacy? Consider this; what if accepting the government’s access to all information in cyberspace will help them easily catch terrorists, thieves, cyber bullies, and other nuisances? In the public space that is the internet, privacy

The Internet’s continuous advancement has produced the need for an on-going debate on whether or not the government should have the power to control the Internet. The idea of the government having control over what each country’s citizens can see on the Internet is also called Internet Censorship. Internet Censorship “is the control or suppression of the publishing of, or access to information on the Internet.” Internet Censorship varies from country to country depending on each country’s current usage and philosophy of how it should be used.

Today the world relies on technology and so does the government. The politics has the ability to hack and see through our private information at any give time. It gives the government limitless access to the network. The authority has so many ways on hacking devices and have smart hackers find a “backdoor” to it. I think the government shouldn’t have this kind of people to look through our information or anybody at all.

The NSA is the United States organization that protects the country. The NSA is taking away the people's right to privacy to make the country safer. So far, it is known that the NSA is monitoring billions of records of cell phone calls in the U.S. each day, listening to citizens’ calls, and they read text messages and emails. The NSA also looks at people's Facebook posts. It is acknowledged that the National Security Agency advises U.S. citizens, but they also eavesdrop on people from other countries. Aditionally, the NSA is taking advantage of the citizens’ privacy. Next, the NSA is harming the United States. Security professionals say that spying can make the U.S. Unsafe on the Internet and on computer systems. They say this because the NSA is installing back doors, or accessing a computer system that bypasses security. Using back doors exposes the NSA’s data to harmful hackers, which could endanger this country. Washingtonblog.com stated, “ The NSA is the biggest data collector on the planet, and thus provides a tempting mother lode of information for foreign hackers.” With this understanding, the National Security Agency has an immense amount of information and there is no reason why hackers wouldn't want to see that unknown data. Finally, the NSA monitoring online communications has extremely damaged the United States economy. Researchers over this topic say that the reason our economy is being

The government has invaded privacy in many different ways throughout the years. With today’s day and age technology has evolved to be both a gift and a curse. When asked the question about if the government should be able to invade people's privacy, a common response is, “If you have nothing to hide, then you have nothing to be worried about.” In my opinion, this statement is completely correct. The government’s job is to protect the people. People that break the law have a tendency to hide what they did. If the government can not invade a suspicious person’s privacy then it is near impossible to know that they have broken the law.

The issue of internet privacy has been a topic of discussion throughout several years. The Obama Administration worked diligently to establish federal regulations to protect the U.S. citizen’s internet activity. Unfortunately, the federal regulations that provided these protections were not set to go into effect until the latter part of 2017. With the new presidential administration in office these regulations have found their way onto President Trump’s desk within the first 100 days in office. A nd he has decided to sign an executive order to roll back these regulations for internet privacy. This will allow the internet provider the ability to not only bill for the use of their service but to also capitalize off of the user’s private information

I don_Ñét think the government-federal or state should be monitoring the content on the internet. People need their privacy and what kind of freedom do people have if we are being monitored and not knowing it. They could be monitoring people_Ñés private calls and messages. We all deserve freedom on the internet.

"Who would have imagined in 1990 that social media and the internet would have such a profound impact on all areas of life: human relationships, domestic and global trade, education, entertainment? Now it is nearly impossible to live outside of the technological empire of Apple, Samsung, Microsoft, Google, or other tech companies. The pervasive nature of technology has influenced the political world as well, involving recent events such as Hillary Clinton’s email scandal, Net Neutrality, or President Trump’s spontaneous and often ridiculous Tweets. The Technological Age has caused a new debate: the government’s role in monitoring internet activity. Constitutional ideals suggest that the federal, state, and local government should monitor the internet activity of its officials, but it should not monitor the activity of its citizens.

"To what extent in the U.S. does the government–federal, state, and local–have the duty to monitor internet content? The U.S. government should not be able to control what people do outside of school. They need to mind their own business. People are going to do what they want to do regardless of whether they are monitored or not. Social media and the internet has become a huge part in our lives as Americans. We get most of our entertainment, like music, TV shows, instagram, snapchat, facebook, twitter, etc.

While most people are using internet for good, some people may not be. There are many cases of cyber bullying that could be going on, and adults may not know. Since cyber bullying is becoming a bigger issue as technology advances, and certain apps come out that could be used for bullying it could be helpful to be able to monitor internet use. So as for local government it makes sense that they could monitor internet content if a problem is brought to their attention.

Place yourself in the safety and comfort of your home, under the belief that “everyone has the right to the use and enjoyment of his property” (Department of International Law), searching, emailing, and talking about things that may be frowned upon by others. Now imagine the raw feelings of fear and deception that would wash over you upon seeing Edward Snowden’s statement on how “the U.S. government is destroying privacy, internet freedom and basic liberties for people around the world with this massive surveillance machine they 're secretly building.” You may initially feel betrayed, but Obama formally announced that the NSA acts solely in the name of safety right? Have we begun to sacrifice the freedom and
