                   Privacy Within Technology

 

    Privacy & Technology - American Civil Liberties Union

 state that the government argues that the Fourth Amendment protects information that you keep on your desk but not information that you keep online, like old emails or pictures.

    Surveillance equipment, NSA-style mass surveillance, is enabling local police departments to gather vast quantities of density information in a way it wasn't before. The government can detail a detailed portrait of how private citizens interact with each other.

     Personally, I found that really impressive and concerning by the high quality of information they have of every single one of us. 

    Even with the plate of your car, police nowadays can know the date, time, location, where, and when you were with. The Federal Data Is collecting all the individual pots of data. 

    This made me wonder,  Where is the privacy of the public self? 

    

    Is a severe threat because of the abuse of the lack of privacy; someone can hack through your devices and no longer be a government-related threat, it becomes a closer proximity, which people could take advantage of. 

    With the telephone Industry growing, and phones from the beginning were monitored by wiretapping telephone users. In today's present, it is recorded and listened to daily; could it be the government of another country with the greater and smarter way to hack into your phone. Not too far someone that you just met could be a hacker, and you don't know it by the lack of awareness and the lack of information on how to protect yourself from others behind our phones and information. 

    While the private self-users want privacy, the government doesn't think the same. Using a cell tower dump, law enforcement can know the usage of multiple towers, with this, they know the location. The government believes all email, voice mail, call, and other should be monitored by the government.

     The only way we can protect surveillance is with Encryption with the protection of not allowing access to your information and decreasing the information being in on criminals, stalkers, and foreign intelligence agencies without knowing

    This affects my security and my personal privacy, and I really think there should be a law that protects everyone from the spread of information without consent. We need to fight for the private self and, work toward safer of using information.
