Is the Telephone Company violating your privacy?

1. Yes. I think the increased surveillance power and capability of the US government present an ethical dilemma. When the government has not been authorized by you, the law abiding citizen of the United States, to “listen in” or track your movements I feel it is an invasion of privacy. This is also a violation of the Fourth Amendment.

2. It is the responsibility of the government to protect its people. The Fourth Amendment also allows the government to track ones that may hurt us or strike on Americas’ soil. If the information received from the telecommunication could help prevent, counter attack or prepare us of some impending situation then I think it would be ethical. This is for national security.

4. The White House and the Senate Judiciary committee reached the agreement of approving the NSA in regards to the wire tapping program. It was the best compromise on a delicate issue of national security vs. privacy rights.
Yes. While the solution might not be perfect, it at least satisfies both parties as well as it protects the telecommunication companies
