What Are The Pros And Cons Of Government Surveillance

The Government’s Eyes
It is not a secret that the government is keeping a close eye on us. The government keeps surveillance on millions of citizens at a time. There is no indication suggesting that more than a trickle of people who have been watched have any association to any scrupulous conspiracy, though some terrorizations are tangible. It has become evident that this issue exists and many realize it, even though even more do not. An artist named Banksy created a painting that illuminates the topic at hand. Although the name of the painting is not available, Banksy reveals his true emotions through his art. Although there are some pros to government surveillance, I argue that government surveillance is harmful because of the NSA, access
The NSA (National Security Agency) is an American government agency who is accountable for universal overseeing, assemblage, and managing material. Their surveillance devices search and record for alien information and protection against surveillance, sabotage, terrorist activities and more through a practice acknowledged as signals intelligence (NSA.gov). There are laws in effect that state that their practice is alright but this practice has been maneuvered by the law. Since the event of 9/11, countries around the world demanded to have national security. Many have created alliances with the United States foreign policy and made compromises between freedom and protection. By doing this, the government has allowed other government agencies to pry on our personal transmissions to locate convicts. Unfortunately, that is not the sole reasoning.

When negotiations are in order for foreign political leaders, they can supply government bureaucracies that provide secret advantages. This also occurs while snooping on corporations, associations, and people in society. The larger the corporation, the greater the opponent for another corporation to power. Many have become susceptible to the interference of secret telecommunications. Intelligence agencies need all sorts of access in certain
Although this is a pro to government surveillance, politicians desire electronic medical records to in chance for a cure which is an obstacle in the medical system. Paper files are less available than medical records when it comes to providing personal information in a more organized manner. Enabling them to see medical records gives the reveals the confidentiality of the patient and makes them more vulnerable to the crossfires of international intelligence agencies (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality). This does not only affect citizens but also politicians. Since the government has access to all these things, they have the ability to go as far as they want since they know every one of their citizens’ weakness, problem, and concern when regarding their health. Cell phones and email also falls into this category. Cell phones are great leverages when it comes to espionage. There are hidden microphones and GPS in each cellular device. The NSA is able to not only can track cellphones but can also tape phone conversations. This means that the government can
