The security vs. privacy debate is already over, and privacy lost - 0 views

  •  
    As technology becomes more popular, we begin to lose our privacy. The internet is becoming harder to avoid, and personal lives are becoming more public. Websites track your use of the internet- where you go, what you do, etc. In some ways this can be beneficial, as people cannot hide who they are anymore. IRS scandals, disease outbreaks, companies abusing power; all at our fingertips. This has sparked the debate between what is more important: your privacy? or our nation's security?
  •  
    This article explains that there is basically no debate anymore over privacy vs security; privacy lost long ago. With the advent of the "information age" privacy largely died quietly and without much thought. Now that things like Google and Facebook exist, and we spit out private information without much thought, the debate is over.

What Is More Important: Our Privacy or National Security? - 1 views

  •  
    There have been pushes to ban encrypted services online in order to try and prevent terrorists from secretly using such services to communicate. This article discusses three major points that we need to consider when discussing this issue; terrorists aren't using things like PS4's to communicate, despite what the rumors claim. When we apply back-doors to our encrypted services, we weaken them to attack. We need to think about this as Privacy vs security, not security vs security.

We now know that the National Security Agency gathers phone logs and Internet data from millions of Americans as part of its mission to keep the United States safe.

    On Wednesday, President Obama initiated 23 executive actions designed to help combat gun violence. But as he himself acknowledged, there's only so much he can do on his own. The "most important" changes, he said, need to go through Congress. "To make a real and lasting difference, Congress too must act," said the president.

Ten Reasons to Burn a Koran | Dove World Outreach Center - 0 views

  •  
    A group plans to burn Korans on 9/11 to show the dangers of Islam. This shows a lack of religous freedom in this country, as well as ignorance towards world religions. It's appalling to see this. If you don't want to practice Islam don't, but leave those who do alone.
