The document discusses government surveillance and its threats to privacy. It states that numerous government agencies, including the NSA, FBI, and DHS, intrude on private communications and collect vast amounts of data on citizens' phone calls and activities under vague security standards. This data collection is an invasion of privacy, and the data is often misused, with innocent people facing consequences like travel restrictions or job barriers. Once collected, data can be widely shared and retained for years without oversight.

WHAT IS GOVERNMENT
SURVEILANCE ?

2. My position on this subject is that, I think that security is somewhat
necessary, but it can be a bit intrusive. I think Mykko Hypponen is correct
when he states that terrorism can be a cover up to put a plan In action. I am
aware of the fact that the more acts of terror that are committed ,the more laws
can be implicated due to perceived terrorist acts.
This also gives people the right to invade foreign countries and take whatever
they want to take from these countries, including natural resources ,etc.

3. Privacy today faces growing threats from a growing surveillance
apparatus that is often justified in the name of national
security. Numerous government agencies—including the
National Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation,
the Department of Homeland Security, and state and local law
enforcement agencies—intrude upon the private
communications of innocent citizens, amass vast databases of
who we call and when, and catalog “suspicious activities”
based on the vaguest standards.

SECURITY
Privacy today faces growing threats from a growing surveillance apparatus that is
often justified in the name of national security. Numerous government agencies—
including the National Security Agency, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the
Department of Homeland Security, and state and local law enforcement agencies—
intrude upon the private communications of innocent citizens, amass vast
databases of who we call and when, and catalog “suspicious activities” based on
the vaguest standards.
The government’s collection of this sensitive information is itself an invasion of
privacy. But its use of this data is also rife with abuse. Innocuous data is fed into
bloated watchlists, with severe consequences—innocent individuals have found
themselves unable to board planes, barred from certain types of jobs, shut out of
their bank accounts, and repeatedly questioned by authorities. Once information is
in the government’s hands, it can be shared widely and retained for years, and the
rules about access and use can be changed entirely in secret without the public
ever knowing.

Another important idea that we
must observe s the notion that all
the technology we are given
including apps ,Internet,
cellphones etc.(sky drives)can be
used against us .Cloud storages
can store tangible evidence of all
of your documents and pics ,etc. A
cell phone is almost always in the
palm of our hands. GPS can track
us through cellular devices.
Facebook shows the world, who
we know and associate with.
