    The Spy Who Fired Me by Esther Kaplan is excellent reading that shows the reality of future/present employment. It explains how companies are able to evaluate the performances of their employees by monitoring them. The monitoring can show whether an employee is even benefitting the company or not. Companies are basically benefitting themselves through the use of technology but instead it is impacting the workers. One quote that I found curious was, “…..retailers are better served when they see employees as potential profit centers, and not just as “a big bucket of costs” to be cut.”…

However, Logan and Tabitha believe the opposite and have reasons why. Those reasons include personal information about people being leaked because the court oversight were seen to be failing or ignored, and people getting very mad because the government can monitor a large portion of a certain population without them even having a single clue. The points have convinced many people that this is wrong and we need to do something about it, but they do not know the other side and why those point are wrong.…

    Law enforcement use: Currently, law enforcement has the power to use a great amount of discretion when dealing with incentivized criminal informants. In the majority of cases involving law enforcement discretion it is for example an individual being caught selling a small amount of drugs but law enforcement offers to let them go without any charges if they give up the name and location of the bigger dealer. The idea behind this is understandable, but it leads to wrongful convictions. The solution for this problem would be requiring law enforcement to gain approval using the information the informant gave. This would need to be done by a judge and would help restore checks and balances throughout the system.…

    It gave the power to suppress any opposition to the war, and suspended the mailing privileges of many opposition and peace organizations. According to David Greenberg in his article, “The Hidden History of the Espionage Act”, the law had a justifiable legitimate purpose, but soon became problematic (Greenberg par. 4). Its wording was vague, and left too much opportunity for misinterpretation by overzealous vigilante groups and overly aggressive law enforcement agencies (Greenberg par. 6). Probably the most disgraceful and abusive use of this law was by the Postmaster General Albert Burleson. Viewed as an intolerant belligerent by his peers, Burleson canceled mailing privileges for a number of groups he considered radical or revolutionary (Greenberg par.…
