+ We haven't committed any crime — then there's nothing to worry! And so spying on certain accounts is fine, if they need to investigate, track and analyze data for Intelligence.
+ I'm perfectly fine if they take my data — till its serving in the good interests of my family and people's safety.
+ It should only be in the good interests of our system and society.
+ But such credible data, should not be misused by the govt bodies or elected representatives!

- pajju 13y agoWe have voted them up — they are elected representatives. And Life goes by Hope and Positivity!
- smoorman1024 13y agoThe NSA are not elected officials. They are appointed individuals. And they really don't need to report or justify anything they do.

- kunai 13y agoJust because we voted people in doesn't mean they're gods as soon as they enter office. And positivity is useless if you just think everything can be fine as long as you have a positive outlook. That's foolishness. You SHOULD have alacrity towards this issue, but if you don't, that's your choice. In ten years, you will look back and wish you did something. Mark my damned words.
- smoorman1024 13y agoWho is to decide what is in the "interest" of your family and people's safety? This is subjective and cedes power to whoever is in control of the surveillance mechanism. The surveyor may have motives that are not as benevolent as you would like to think.
- rahoulb 13y agoOr worse still, what if the definition of what is "safe" changes, following some sort of incident (9/11?) Once they have amassed all this data about you they can mine it to their heart's content and use it to make predictions - those books you read before the "incident" that seemed innocent now get you flagged as a potential terrorist.
