Трябва ли правителството да може да следи телефонни обаждания и имейли?

Как възможността да бъде наблюдаван цифровият ви отпечатък влияе върху чувството ви за свобода и доверие в правителството?

Бихте ли приели повече правителствено наблюдение, ако значително намали терористичните актове?

Ако вашата безопасност беше застрашена, бихте ли се отказали от част от личния живот и къде теглите границата?

Мисълта, че сте наблюдаван или слушан от някой, когото не познавате, създава ли ви неудобство и защо?

Представете си живота си като отворена книга; как това ще промени начина, по който общувате онлайн?

Какво бихте направили, ако разберете, че вашите лични съобщения се наблюдават, за да се предотвратят потенциални престъпления?

Кога, ако някога, вярвате ли, че ползите от наблюдението надвишават правото на личен живот?

Как бихте се почувствали, ако вашите лични разговори бъдат слушани без вашето съгласие за националната сигурност?

Чувствали ли сте някога, че поверителността ви е компрометирана и ако е така, какви трябва да са границите на тази инвазия?

Yes, but only under the scrutiny of the courts where necessary to protect citizens either collectively or individually

No, not at all. I think phone calls and emails should be private. It is not other peoples business and they don't need to know what we are talking about.

Only in severe circumstances where national security is threatened.

They should only be able to monitor people who have been identified as a threat, and only by court order

I say 'no', but only because I see a growing society that has less and less respect for the 'Honour system' and I believe that even though this may be an important tool to protect against suspected crimes of terrorism, it will be abused and misused.

if this was an ironclad method to reduce terrorism, then yes. otherwise, this is an invasion of privacy

I feel like the federal government should be allowed to monitor emails and phone calls that are flagged with key words that insinuate a possible terrorist or illegal act.

I find this to be a ridiculous notion. Under certain circumstances it would be permissible but its a blatant intrusion of privacy and completely unnecessary. A acceptable situation is someone suspected for crimes, but just monitoring people for the sake of doing so is completely illogical.

No, and enact legislation preventing government surveillance of citizen communications, It is the citizens responsibility to protect the country in this case since the government cannot possibly handle everything and proper education provided on the subject in schools on a side note they are taught in a way that does not create future paranoia. Once a threat is flagged by citizens only then should authority intervene. Immigrants will have to be under surveillance for as long their education into citizenship is provided, and Immigrants with a history of violence or fraud will not be allowed into the country.

I'm torn...I am concerned with the federal government having cart blanche access to private information, yet I am for being able to prevent acts that negatively harm groups of innocent people.

Yes but only with a court order or a percieved threat

Yes, after proving that the act is necessary for National security, and combating organized crime and child pornography
