Tulisiko valtion saada valvoa puheluita ja sähköposteja?

Miten mahdollisuus valvoa digitaalista jalanjälkeäsi vaikuttaa vapauden tunteeseen ja luottamukseen hallitusta kohtaan?

Hyväksytkö lisää hallituksen valvontaa, jos se vähentäisi terroritekoja merkittävästi?

Jos turvallisuutesi olisi vaakalaudalla, olisitko valmis luopumaan yksityisyydestäsi, ja mihin vedät rajan?

Tekeekö ajatus siitä, että joku, jota et tunne, katselee tai kuuntelee sinua, ja miksi?

Kuvittele elämäsi avoimena kirjana; miten se muuttaisi tapaasi kommunikoida verkossa?

Mitä tekisit, jos saisit tietää, että henkilökohtaisia viestejäsi valvotaan mahdollisten rikosten ehkäisemiseksi?

Milloin, jos koskaan, uskotteko valvonnan etujen olevan suurempia kuin oikeus yksityisyyteen?

Miltä sinusta tuntuisi, jos henkilökohtaisia keskustelujasi kuunneltaisiin ilman suostumustasi kansallisen turvallisuuden vuoksi?

Onko sinusta koskaan tuntunut, että yksityisyytesi on vaarantunut, ja jos on, mitkä olisivat tämän hyökkäyksen rajat?

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
