Government Surveillance vs Privacy :: Security vs Privacy

Spying is nothing mod to the world. History books tell us that ancient civilizations same(p) the Roman Empire, Egypt, Chine, India, and so on apply it. On top of that, 1900s regimes like the Former Soviet Union and Nazis Germany used spying tactics about the world wars. The main use of spying at that time in the main was for political and military advantage. These countries were successful on spying. However, in the 21st degree centigrade oversight is used in different and very complicated way. So many crimes and terrorist attacks forced political sympathiess more or less the world to use electronic surveillance to protect their own passel. This electronic surveillance is very complicated and you seizet even know it is happening and you are the target. The US authorities is the main leader on this. For years the US administration used eavesdropping and wire tapping to catch criminals (Landau 301). People debated on the issues, but it was left unanswered. In 2013, surveill ance became the nation wide debate topic, once again aft(prenominal) Edward Snowdons leakage of classified information from the NSA. From the leaked information evidence shows that NSA is surveilling millions of unprejudiced people, illegally. Now, the US government took the use of surveillance to the next level. This level is unique and unheard in human history. The government uses internet to surveil peoples private information this got my attention and I started to search for reasons. And NSA makes only when one argument when asked why they surveil. TERRORISM or CRIME. Then I asked myself why surveil innocent people who have done dead nothing? In this case, I looked around some sources and decided that the government should renounce surveilling people illegally. The government should find different ways to stop terrorism and crimes or they should only surveil people with history of violence. On top of that, people should also worry about big companies like Google, Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, Citibank, and so on. This is because they have also our private information like the government and there is more chances of private information leaking. Like I mentioned earlier, some(prenominal) things happening around us that we dont recognize in todays world,. One of the things is the surveillance program. When I walk around in the city I live, I see cameras installed almost outside(a) of every apartments complex, big buildings, and so on. However, that is not what worries me the most.
