Should Government Control Their Phones
The government is trying to take away our phone and we are not happy. Some people are going crazy and trying to danger. It is getting way out of hand now. The government should just let us keep our phones and everything would go back to normal. Do you think the people should keep their phones or should the government take them?

We have had phones for over forty years.Why would you take them away from us? Most people in this time can only go on with the day without there phones. For example, people go to school and do their jobs on phones. Then if you are lost somewhere you can't call for help cause the government took our phones.

I fell like they're trying to take our phones to do something top secret. Because you know the government

    How comfortable would you be with a government having access to your personal information and data on your phone? A recent incident involving a terrorist attack in San Bernardino, sparked a controversy between Apple and the Federal Bureau of investigation. Following the attack by two individuals committed an act of terror, killing 14 people, the iPhone belonging to one of the terrorists was found. As you may know, your organization is requesting the court for Apple's forced assistance in weakening the encryption on an IPhone related to the San Bernardino terrorist attacks and supposedly has vital information on it. These terrorist attacks were performed by ISIS's lone wolves, named Syed Rizwan Farook, who owns the phone and Tashfeen Malik, his wife. In my opinion, the phone shouldn't be cracked for three reasons. First of all because it undermines America's founding principles and it…

    The article Swartz wrote pointed out to many people that phone companies can track one’s cell phone by tower signals. Swartz also alerted citizens that the government could use similar methods to secretly monitor movements of suspects. The main idea of Swartz’s essay is that the prosecutors have not been successful in accessing court approval to gain evidence against suspects. Swartz quotes, “Prosecutors argue that having such data is crucial to finding suspects, corroborating their whereabouts with witness accounts, or helping build a case for a wiretap on the phone” (302). In the last paragraph of Swartz’s article she soothes people’s conscience by quoting, “[T]he stream of data that carries a telephone conversation or an e-mail message contains a great deal of information, including when and where the communications originated. And that makes it harder for courts to determine whether a certain digital surveillance method invokes Fourth Amendment protections against unreasonable searches”…

    ” by Peter Maass and Megha Rajagopalan, informs that it appears that millions of cellphone users have been swept up in government surveillance on their calls and where they made them from. The surveillance and privacy implications are quite simple. If someone knows exactly where you are, they probably know what you are doing. There is a lot of comparison in 1984 and today’s modern technology in which government can keep watch. However, in 1984, they had helicopters to spy, but can’t go as high as a regular helicopter.…

    Unlike Big Brother, surveillance cameras are not there to prevent resistance against the government. Instead America promotes free-thinking and freedom of speech. Another device is our smartphones. Articles debate whether they are cellphones or just tracker devices for the federal government to watch. Yes, the government could actually use your cellphone to find out your location. Just like surveillance cameras, tracking devices are used to promote safety. Usually, the federal government would not prefer to track an individual if they have not been in the wrong. Instead, permitting your phone to allow their location services on will open doors to technology. Look what we can do now. We could ask a program to navigate us around an area, to find out what restaurants are around, and to explore the area. Going this far in technology has opened the world’s eyes to many possibilities, to make it feel that we are really living in the…

    Cell phone surveillance is mainly used to gain a better understanding about criminals and their motives. As one author puts it, the main advantage of spying on cell phones is “the ability of police officers to carry out undercover surveillance of suspected major criminals… They are using it sparingly to further legitimate investigations” (Wheeler). Secret cell phone surveillance is helpful in tracking down criminals and collecting information for investigative purposes only. In 1984, the government, known as the Party, uses a different form of electronic surveillance but for a similar purpose.…
