One challenge of our newly developing technology is that it can be misused so easily. That is especially true when it comes to electronic snooping. Identity theft and unauthorized transfer of information and wealth is rampant, with many in society wondering if there is any privacy left at all. While many fret that criminals will empty their bank account and ruin their credit, there is also a growing concern that the bigger threat may very well be from police and government who are anxious to exam our records, our activities, and seemingly even our thoughts.
Police and government are made up of ordinary citizens, which means that the potential for misuse of our information is always there. And it seems that there is a limitless desire to know our most intimate and private details, all in the name of keeping society safe. In England police are seeking greater and greater authority to dig into the background of every individual, including delving into the Internet search history of every individual in the country.

most ppl dont have anything to ‘worry’ about—its about the 4th amendent—they need a warrant to search and seizure——hello??? privacy….probable cause????
looks like i won’t spend a lot of time on the internet
the government can shut the Hell up
What if the Chinese shut them down…..
I used to use that argument also. I’ve never had anything to hide. However, we are seeing the EROSION of all of our rights. And on that principle alone, we need to stand and say NO MORE!
Good .. I want them to know how I feel and what I think about what is going on in my country ..
Everybody can have access to everybody’s internet history, if they know what their doing. The days of internet privacy were nonexistent from day one of the internet.
It’s people like you that don’t care about their privacy or their freedom that are the problem. Why don’t you guys just volunteer and keep them busy so they can stay the hell away from my personal business.
They’ll laugh at mine!
Don’t forget the pre-crime alga rhythm they use to determine whether you will commit a crime in the future. What about invasion of privacy?
