Essentially the topic at hand as been really relevant within the past 4 years as technology has advanced rather rapidly. With social media and more internet based applications being shoved into our lives and inter-connecting us all the government has found the need to regulate, monitor, and sometimes INTRUDE upon the information that we may choose to keep private or share publicly.
Do you believe the government has the responsibility to monitor and keep us secure through means of either spying or monitoring. Or do you believe that government should not intrude upon our information whether it be public or private.
My Opinion: As someone who wishes to keep government as a means to serve the people and not intrude upon their rights granted through the constitution, I believe it is only necessary to spy based on criteria that deems someone eligible to be monitored. This criteria would apply to those attempting to immigrate legally/illegally from a target country, those who may say "trigger words" in conversations, and/or released convicts/felons.
Ordinary citizens should not be monitored in general. Governments purpose is to provide services to the people, not to harm/intrude upon them. There is a great need for these Federal agencies to work in the cyber field to prevent potential threats from harming us domestically or abroad. Striking a balance (almost impossible in any government entity in the world) will make it easy for us to protect civil liberties in addition to preventing people from infringing on them.
