Pros And Cons Of Domestic Surveillance

Here is my part about privacy. I will add one more paragraph with an example and reference, so it will be about two pages overall.

One of the most important disadvantages of domestic surveillance is that it violates human rights by controlling private lives of citizens. The latter rises a question about ethics and liberty. First, it is not ethical to observe an individual’s personal data without his/her permission. Second, it is not liberal for the government to control a citizen’s actions or cooperation with other people.

According to Deborah Popper, “Traceability implies complete information control over the geography of one of life's most essential acts, eating. The apparent object of traceability is food, which seems to imply that human tracking is not part of the process, but food does not move on its own. Those people responsible at each stage for food transfers and transactions may go into the traceability database, making their locations part of the record and supporting precise monitoring of labor performance, consumer buying patterns, and ownership and management strategies.” This example shows us how detailed the domestic surveillance is, even those times when we could never suspect it.

According to this logic, it is acceptable if somebody, who has nothing to conceal, is stopped in the middle of a street and asked to show the belongings inside a backpack. Chances are that this request will cause a citizen’s
