In an article called, "Watching You" in Upfront Magazine, by Patricia Smith, it talks about how the government is going against our privacy and watching us in order to protect us from deadly threats. The U.S government has been "secretly collecting Americans' telephone records and tracking foreigners over sites like Yahoo and Facebook." I think that it is wrong for the government to be doing this.
It's violating Americans' privacy. For example, in the text it says, "But this spring's news that the U.S. government has been secretly collecting Americans' telephone records and tracking foreigners over seas on sites like Yahoo and Facebook has raised questions about how much privacy is worth sacrificing to keep the nation safe." I don't think that it's right that the government can see what we put on social media even though we think that it's private.
It's also violating the Fourth Amendment. For example, in the text it says, "the idea of a right to privacy comes from the Constitution's Fourth Amendment, which protects against 'unreasonable searches and seizures'."I don't think that the government should be allowed to not follow the Fourth Amendment.
In conclusion, I agree that the government should find ways to protect us from dangers such as terrorists, however, I don't think that our privacy should be violated through social media and phone records in order to do that,
