Should The FBI Have The Right To Invade People's Privacy

On September 11, 2001 Al-Qaeda attacks the Twin Tower of the World Trade Center. In response to this attack, President George W. Bush administration increases their data capability. “A federal judge sitting on the secret surveillance, panel called the Fisa court would approve a bulk collection order for internet metadata every 90 days.” So does the NSA violate the 4th amendment? According to uscourts.gov “4th Amendment, protects people from unreasonable searches and seizures by the government. The 4th Amendment, however, is not granted against all searches and seizures, but only those that are being unreasonable under the law.” On one hand, the 4th amendment and other hand you have the Patriot Act and now called the USA Freedom Act.

Government Wiretapping is when the government gets access without court consent is used completely illegally Every day, Hundreds of millions of people chat exchange text messages and send picture through social sites like Facebook and you don't know whether or not the government is watching you and see everything you send out they are just invading your privacy. While it may help catch criminals (terrorist drug dealers etc) it is being used to spy on millions of people ILLEGALLY there have even been some cases of government officials choosing to spy on people they know even if they know they're innocent. Why should the government be allowed to wiretap without court consent? They are looking at innocent people's information and some cases have

In December of 2015, 14 people were killed and more than 20 people were injured in one of California’s most deadly shootings in recent history. A couple, Syed Rizwan Farook and Tashfeen Malik, opened fire in a conference center in San Bernardino. The two were later killed in a shootout with the police. Their case didn’t end there. The FBI searched their house, in which they found much evidence to back that this was a terrorist plot. But a crucial piece of evidence which they found was Syed Farook’s iPhone 5C. In today’s society, phones contain more information about ourselves than even we can remember. Emails, messages, notes, bank details and much more can be found on our phone. So when the FBI was able to get hold of Farook’s phone, they were more than content. But there was one more hurdle in front of them: encryption. Since we have so much information on our devices today, we have to have some form of protection against people who want to steal our personal information, scammers hackers and many. Apple has done this by encrypting almost every piece of user’s private information on their devices. The FBI wants a way around this encryption so that they can retrieve important information on Farook’s iPhone. They want Apple to create a shortcut that would allow them to bypass all of the security on Farook’s phone, but Apple is refusing saying that they want to protect their user’s privacy. Is the FBI forcing Apple to create a

On March 8, 1971 eight ordinary citizens broke into an FBI office in Media, Pennsylvania, a town just outside Philadelphia, took hundreds of secret files, and shared them with the public. In doing so, they uncovered the FBI‘s vast and illegal regime of spying and intimidation of Americans exercising their First Amendment rights. Although the FBI claimed there were “just a few things missing,” about 1,000 files were removed and leaked to the press. This started the most extensive expose and investigation of the FBI and the largest man/woman hunts the FBI ever conducted. A little over four decades later, during the spring and summer of 2013, an American citizen drew international attention after deliberately

What started as a private issue spread like wildfire as it was made public by Apple. This problem has created two sides that ask whether Apple should have the right to not oblige or if the FBI has the power to force them to make these means a reality. This specific issue opens up a greater problem that takes it outside the US and affects anyone with any kind of technology connected around the world: should the government have the right to access information on your phone? It’s a seemingly yes or no answer, but the precedent this situation will create makes it a lot more important as it can determine what the future of privacy on technology is like. When looking at the facts, rationality, and emotions that stem from whether the government should have the means

With this over the years the FBI has been given a large amount of authority to serve and protect. Doing so the FBI has been

In today’s society, technology has become one of the most used and most sought after developments of the millennium. In a recent case the FBI petitioned for Apple to unlock the phone of Syed Farook, the man responsible for shooting and killing 14 people in San Bernardino, California. The FBI believed Apple should create a new software that would not erase the data from iPhones after ten failed attempts to unlock the phone. Apple replied that they had a responsibility and an obligation to protect the privacy of their customers. Supporters of Apple 's response have argued, creating a new software was not a wise decision. In the past, government agencies have been known for their abuse of power. Had Apple chosen to create a master key for this particular case, there would be no limit to government invasion of privacy. In the end Apple could have potentially lost costumers by changing the protection of their cellular products. The issue has already been raised that creating software to access one locked device could potentially open the door for hackers to invade millions of other people’s devices. I agree that Apple should not create a new software to unlock the phone because once a master lock is created there are no limitations to who or how the coding can be used.

Based on the information in the article, and what I know about the Patriot Act. I believe my rights have been imposed upon by the FBI, but I also believe they are trying to protect the Amercian citizens. The Patriot Act, which is an act of Congress, was signed into law by President George W. Bush this law was intended to halt terrorism and preserve life and liberty. This act was passed after the 9/11 incident. As with any bills or laws passed there are some glitches. Many Americans citizens and critics argue that the patriot act was passed before being introduced to the people. Most provisions of this act are considered invalid or unenforceable by its terms. Some optimist in major cities and communities are criticizing the patriot act as an

Apple Computer Company is currently being thrown into a lawsuit in regards to specific information on a customer’s cell phone. The cell phone is known to have been used by the San Bernardino shooter last year. The information on that phone could be very beneficial to solving the case. However, privacy advocates argue Apple’s interference could be detrimental to basic human rights. Apple themselves argue writing a “master key” could cause problems with their cyber security. Not to mention the financial jeopardy it could put Apple in. The FBI counters the “master key” argument with the plea that they will only use it for one device. It’s not the use of the key Apple is worried about, it’s about the availability of it. If Apple releases information regarding the San Bernardino shooting, then it should cause a lot more problems than it could solve.

As a student at the university word is going around that the university has been being monitored heavy by the National Security Agency known as the NSA. The NSA is an intelligence organization of the United States government their duty is to monitor, collect, and processing of information and data for foreign intelligence and counterintelligence purposes. In my argument I will debate if monitoring should be or should not be allowed. First, I believe that they should monitor student e-mails because of safety. Safety first this allows the university to become aware of dangerous that are engaged online such as stalking cyberbullying that is more common in today’s world. The main thing I would say is terrorism and threats of violence because students

The real question here is, What kind of world do you want to live in? According to an article in Fortune Magazine one person said, “The Federal Bureau Of Investigation is creating a world where citizens rely on Apple to defend their rights, rather than the other way around.” A world where national security trumps personal privacy or would you rather live in a world where we have both national security and personal privacy. Amy Goodman from Democracy Now said in a segment, “In December, Farook and his wife killed 14 and injured 22 others in San Bernardino. The two were killed in a shootout with police.” The issue is that the agency has been unsuccessful in accessing the data in the phone, an iPhone 5C. We all remember when more than 100 A-listers were targeted in a colossal hack and Apple was under fire for “breaches” in the cloud. This was iOS 7 and the hackers targeted individual accounts. Since then Apple has released iOS 8 and iOS 9. Any device running iOS 8 or later has built-in security measures such as encrypted data tied to your passcode, push notifications when someone tries to restore your iCloud data on a different device, tries to change your iCloud password instead of an email as well as an auto-erase feature that erases all data on the photo when there 10 incorrect passcode tries and a delay between passcode tries. Therefore, the FBI cannot enter the iPhone’s data by brute force. The FBI believes that there might be some important

Should The US Government Be Able To Spy On Its Citizens The US has already prevented many attacks on America by spying on its citizens, and many question whether it is right to do this. It is okay for the US government to spy on its citizens because, It's also not necessarily the spying that people think it is, As well as they are able to spy on citizens, so should they? and finally, many would agree that, life is more important than privacy.

Did you know that someone could be spying on you right now? Many Americans are spied on everyday. They can spy on you beyond your cameras, TV, cell phones, computers, Etc.

After 9/11, people lined up for miles to get gas and raided grocery stores for supplies. But as a matter of fact, a recent survey has found that 65% of Americans believe that the NSA monitoring search histories has prevented several attacks (Sherfinski). Further on in another study, it showed that 56% of americans were worried that the NSA and the United States Government has not gone far enough with its anti-terror policies (Rainie and Maniam). This shows the majority of America thinks the U.S. is on its way to a safe nation but we are not there yet. Monitoring the searches will help get us closer, but it takes the whole nation’s help. Sometimes people just have to make a sacrifice for freedom. What the NSA is doing is trying to create a good balance of social order in the United States. This is very tough to do; they are trying to give people their social equality but at the same time, keep the peace. Social order can be defined as a society that is stable and accepted by its members. A stable society is one free from attacks and that is self sufficient. That is the ultimate goal of the NSA: to make the country stable. A woman from New Jersey who was in Manhattan on 9/11 said, "Do whatever's necessary. We've got nothing to hide. Giving up privacy is the price we pay" (Noble). What this is saying is people have to make sacrifices everyday in America in order to get freedom, whether it’s a policeman, a soldier, or a TSA officer. President Trump once said, "a lot of bad dudes out there," (“Donald Trump Defends. . .”). There are people all over the world that don’t believe in America’s views and will go to histrionic lengths to make sure America is not free, and it’s our job to fight back. So help the NSA restore social order in the country and as Trump says, “make America great

The Federal Bureau of Investigation is a government agency that protects the citizens and the United States against threats such as terrorism, cyber crime, foreign counterintelligence, and much more (fbi.gov). While preventing against national and serious crime, the FBI must also uphold the rights listed in the United States Constitution whenever gathering facts or evidence in order to solve a crime. This includes following the amendments that correspond with the FBI especially amendments four and six (along with many more). These amendments protect those who the FBI are investigating as well as protects the FBI from unexpected and staggering attacks.
