In which areas do you think people's rights and liberties are at risk of government intrusion? What solutions would you impose?

There is a
certain level of privacy that is
bordering on being infringed upon with government intervention.
Access to the
internet, phone lines, and travel is monitored so closely that the government
can
know anyone's whereabouts and activities at almost any time day or night.
This level of
oversight is in some ways necessary to prevent threats like
terrorism and violence, but it
infringes on the rights of ordinary people
everyday.

Another thing that is
jeopardized is
communication. Authoritarian regimes suppress means of communication when
they
feel the need to quell rebellions or temper resistant sentiment. Since
most communication is
currently monitored, it is also at risk of being easily
and swiftly restricteda right to which
people should be entitled.


The humorous joke travels around the internet
about everyone having
an FBI agent watching through laptop cameras, and while people aren't

monitoring our actions that way around the clock, the access is still available.
I
believe...
