The scope of that surveillance should be kept in check though. Search warrants seem reasonable to me (assuming the process of obtaining a warrant is somewhat restrictive) but broad unchecked surveillance isn't reasonable to me.
Giving a government too much access and control seems bad for both the government and the people.
- mozumder 10y agoI get that but a lot of people are questioning any surveillance.
- wybiral 10y agoThat's fair. But regarding this statement: > Until you are your own king, you will always have to live under the permission of government. My complaint is that a government should exist to facilitate the well being of its people. They should have to operate under the permission of us, not the other way around.
- marcoperaza 10y agoThe US government does operate under the permission of the people. There have been candidates who are strongly opposed to the NSA's surveillance programs. They didn't win. The election of Donald Trump should shatter any illusions that the political establishment has a stranglehold on power.
