¿El gobierno debería controlar las llamadas telefónicas y los correos electrónicos?

¿Cómo afecta la posibilidad de que se monitoree su huella digital su sentido de libertad y confianza en el gobierno?

¿Aceptaría usted una mayor vigilancia gubernamental si ésta redujera significativamente los actos de terrorismo?

Si su seguridad estuviera en juego, ¿estaría dispuesto a renunciar a algo de privacidad? ¿Dónde traza el límite?

¿La idea de ser observado o escuchado por alguien que no conoce le incomoda? ¿Por qué?

Imagina tu vida como un libro abierto; ¿Cómo cambiaría eso la forma en que te comunicas en línea?

¿Qué haría si descubriera que sus mensajes personales están siendo monitoreados para evitar posibles delitos?

¿Cuándo, si es que alguna vez cree, que los beneficios de la vigilancia superan el derecho a la privacidad?

¿Cómo se sentiría si sus conversaciones personales fueran escuchadas sin su consentimiento por motivos de seguridad nacional?

¿Alguna vez ha sentido que su privacidad estaba comprometida y, de ser así, cuáles deberían ser los límites de esa invasión?

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
