    Inequality of economic freedom in America is hurting our economy. It is becoming increasingly more difficult for small businesses to emerge and more people are finding themselves relying on various forms of welfare. Welfare is used to fix the problem of inequality, but it is only a temporary solution.

    Defunding the Police Departments does not mean disbanding law enforcement. Excess funds can be distributed to other services (education, healthcare, housing, ect.)

    Defunding the police and distributing that money to further establish other parts of the government can honestly change so much and for the better as well.

    this article gives a better understanding to what "defund the police" really means. By putting funds into other areas that need it, there can be a lot of good done in America.

    this article is very helpful in the way that most people think that defunding the police means disbandment when really it is just taking the extra funds and putting in other necessary services.

    Great article to explain the common misconceptions on what it means to defund the police. The positive to this is the benefits other sectors of the government would have such as education.

    I agree it does not mean to get rid of the police. but overly funding a facility while ignoring schools and healthcare systems is not okay either.
  • cel2141812 on 01 Feb 21
     
    This is a good, informative article. Other organizations need more funding, and I believe that funding them is only fair.

    This article really shows what it looks when the community doesn't feel safe and how the people are moving to make it safe and put money somewhere else.

    I'm glad that this article gives the information this country needs when talking about defunding the police. Many interpret that in the wrong way which has divided our country even more.

    In an anti-piracy campaign, Windows is taking action against those they believe are selling copies of the Windows Operating System. With China being the largest PC seller in the world, this directly affects our economy and technology distribution.

  • Prominent examples of surveillance include surveillance cameras, wiretaps, GPS tracking, and internet surveillance.
  • expression of control
  • profound impact with regards to the ethics of placing individual under surveillance
  • ...20 more annotations...
  • close surveillance is much more intrusive than it has been in the past.
  • Constitution protects American citizens from unreasonable searches and seizures
  • citizens have not been given the same protection with regards to electronic surveillance
  • "If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear."

      This statement has an Orwellian tone to it to indicate the tone of the article to the reader as cautious, paranoid even, and fearful
  • as most people are law-abiding citizens, most ostensibly will not be targeted for surveillance and it will not impact their lives,
  • safer through the elimination of criminals.
  • the government already has the ability to track a known target's movements to a reasonable degree, and has easy access to information such as one's purchasing habits, online activities, phone conversations, and mail.
  • if the individual has been treated unfairly and procedures violated, are there appropriate means of redress? Are there means for discovering violations and penalties to encourage responsible surveillant behavior
  • allowing surreptitious surveillance of one form, even limited in scope and for a particular contingency, encourages government to expand such surveillance programs in the future
  • the danger of a "slippery slope" scenario cannot be dismissed as paranoia
  • British police are now pushing for the DNA collection of children who "exhibit behavior indicating they may become criminals in later life"

      This opens a door for discriminatory profiling from government agencies and educators who report the behavior
  • M.I.T. professor Gary Marx, who argued that before implementing surveillance we should evaluate the proposed methods by asking a number of questions, which we enumerate below:
  • does the technique cross a personal boundary without permission (
  • are individuals aware that personal information is being collected, who seeks it and why?
  • consent

      The issue seems to be that consumers using the technology our government tracks aren't aware of what they are consenting to due to the long and overly-articulated terms and conditions presented to them in a purposefully confusing manner in order to gain access to their data
  • human review of machine generated results
  • With the expansion of surveillance, such abuses could become more numerous and more egregious as the amount of personal data collected increases.
  • security of the data be adequately protected?
  • are the goals of the data collection legitimate?
  • In general, we feel that surveillance can be ethical, but that there have to exist reasonable, publicly accessible records and accountability for those approving and performing the surveillance in question.
  • smurphy6600 on 06 Sep 21
     
    The website offers links to various sources of information on the collection and distribution of surveilled data from government agencies in an attempt to inform its readers and covers the paranoia tinted tone of those who find government surveillance in todays society to be too close to "Big Brother" methods and presents an argument for their point of view through the methods of MIT professor Gary Marx. The argument is presented in a series of questions on the ethical stance of what the government surveils, what the surveillance consists of as well as the consequences of any action taken as a result of surveillance and the reality that American citizens never consented to the constant surveillance of their personal lives. The position of inclination towards complacency is concisely summed with a strong amount of surveillance being presented by the double edged statement of "If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear.".
