The Importance of Privacy and National Security
Balancing the national security and individual privacy has been a controversial issue in which the people of opposing opinions are working hard to ensure that their voices are heard. Technology is evolving rapidly and the delivery of information and services also have enhanced our lives and put us on cost. Maybe five years from now, we will not be surprised if one day there will be a way to change the humanity and hopefully improve the national security. Though, Facebook already did change the perception of privacy, and there are more to come. While, it is hard to understand the foundation and concept of national security and privacy in cyberspace, it is important to know that to protect your privacy, you have to trust also the government in protecting the nation from terrorism and other threats to humanity. The one thing to do so is, to let the government do their job.

The tension between national security and individual privacy has long existed even before the development of digitized information. Recently, two main forces have advanced the debate over this balance to the forefront of the public eye: 1) the proliferation of data by private sector companies and 2) the heightened need for homeland security and public defense. With the rapid evolution of technology, companies have aggregated pools of consumer data to improve upon internal decision making. In some cases, however, this data can be leveraged to ensure national security and public safety. This juxtaposition of enterprise and security results in a blurring of the line dividing public and private sector responsibilities. The question becomes an issue of moral obligation versus legal responsibility. What are we as consumers and citizens willing to sacrifice in exchange for safety? And does the private sector inevitably succumb to obligations originating from the public sector?
