Vláda by měla být schopna sledovat telefonní hovory a e-maily?

Jak možnost sledování vaší digitální stopy ovlivňuje váš pocit svobody a důvěru ve vládu?

Přijali byste větší vládní dohled, pokud by to výrazně omezilo teroristické činy?

Pokud by byla v sázce vaše bezpečnost, byli byste ochotni vzdát se části soukromí a kde máte hranici?

Je vám nepříjemná představa, že vás někdo nezná, sleduje nebo poslouchá, a proč?

Představte si svůj život jako otevřenou knihu; jak by to změnilo způsob vaší online komunikace?

Co byste dělali, kdybyste zjistili, že vaše osobní zprávy byly sledovány, aby se předešlo možným zločinům?

Kdy, pokud vůbec, věříte, že výhody sledování převažují nad právem na soukromí?

Jak byste se cítili, kdyby vaše osobní rozhovory byly poslouchány bez vašeho souhlasu pro národní bezpečnost?

Měli jste někdy pocit, že vaše soukromí bylo ohroženo, a pokud ano, jaké by měly být hranice této invaze?

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
