      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.

    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.".
