"Those who can give up essential freedom to gain a little temporary security deserve neither freedom nor security." (Benjamin Franklin) Nowadays we live in a world where technology has become one of the most important parts of our lives. We always hear about social networks, search engines, cloud, etc. These tools are very useful and we use them to make our daily life easier. But sometimes we feel that the tool we use is being used by the government as a way to extract information from people; their justification is that they are entering into people's privacy to ensure the security of countries. The main reason they do this is to avoid terrorism, and the country that has devoted its resources to corrupting people's privacy is the United States. There are many reasons why this is correct and why it helps prevent terrorism. It is obvious that the USA wants to know everything and this is because they are the most powerful country in the world and as many say; “knowledge is power” and after what happened on September 11th they don't want it to happen again. My opinion is that what they are doing is wrong, despite all the safety reasons; every person has the right to have at least some privacy. The government has no right to see what we do on the Internet, or to have cameras in bedrooms and bathrooms, or to see us naked! They have no right to judge us before we do something. The law says you are innocent unless proven otherwise, so they need to stop thinking that everyone is a bad person, or that everyone wants to harm the country or the people. They should have security, of course, but now they are going beyond the law and starting to scare the population because... middle of paper... always guilty even if you have never done anything wrong. We have to be careful because you never know who is watching or listening to your every move. Works Cited • Mears, Bill. "El Debate Sobre Privacidad Y Seguridad Nacional Resurge En EU." CNN.
