Absolutely not. Unless their is a strong suspicion backed up by solid evidence that someone is a suspect in terrorism or criminal activities, government should stay away from our private lives.
This goes from the Internet, to financial transactions, and to healthcare. Government's main priority is to protect people by maintaining law, but this doesn't give them the right to be snoopy either.
When you give government the right to make decisions for us, everyone begins to lose. Give the choices and the money back to the people!

We are monitored daily.
Every credit card purchase, every web site, every phone number dialed...we are being watched by both the government and the corporate entities. The CIA, NSA, FBI, etc. have been poking into the lives of private citizens for years - it's certainly nothing new.

Government has the responsibility to take care of the society. Society comprises of individuals and unfortunately few anti-social elements.There is every right for a Government body to interrogate suspicious people. But, it even has to apologise an individual if he/she has been subjected to interrogation and proved not to be guilty. If there is no suspicion, no one has a right to question the individual. And even if a government official or body interrogates "you", you have to take it in positive sense and if you are not guilty, there is no need fear.

by no skill. have you ever heard of the darkish a lengthy time period? a million. Deception is used to administration the techniques/beliefs of others, by using the technique of propaganda, disinformation, and so on. Ethically, mendacity and deceptive human beings is inaccurate. 2. at the same time as governments attempt to administration the techniques/beliefs of electorate it finally ends up in a totalitarian gadget of administration the position outspoken loose-thinkers are punished. it truly is likewise unethical- all of us have the right to freedom of idea and speech. 3.worry-mongering and intimidation are used as political equipment to administration the techniques/beliefs of others as anybody is a lot less stressful to influence at the same time as they're afraid. it truly is unethical- we've the right to stay without worry and intimidation.

I think we have the right to our privacy...from the Government and each other! Please watch this video ...it will change your opinion of the direction that we are going in and give us an alternative to things like ( The Patrot Act)
Our Constitution is what makes us Americans...why are we not fighting to keep our rights!

Absolutely no. The government has no right to spy on it's own citizens.

Yes, if it can be shown that those being monitored pose a threat to the population at large or to the country. The Government's main job is to protect the population.

I say sometimes.
I think that during a time of war, if a person make or recieves a phone call or a letter or an email from the ENEMY country. It should be intercepted or tapped.

nope, from the the term itself, "private", and the constitution of a country usually gives their citizen their rights to privacy.
