The privacy of American citizens are being violated because without privacy,
there is no point in being an individual. There are so much privacy being broken into in
the United States it's outrageous . In the article ‘’That’s No Phone That’s My Tracker’’ it
uncovers that millions of cellphones users have been under government surveillance
due to there. There are several cellular trackers constantly being checking off their
record the location, of all phones on their networks, all the data that is being used
,What web pages are being visited and much more. But most people don't know that
their privacy is being violated. People should not be willing to give up personal
information for the greater good of society because, not everyone like someone snooping around them. In the novel 1984 , Big Brother is watching your every move the people didn't have a say so in their privacy frankly there is absolutely no freedom in that orwellian society . . ‘’On coins, stamps, on the cigarette packet, everywhere always the eyes are watching you’’ (according to Howell pg 27).

This means in order to
have a healthy community you have to have private safety.

similar to a master watching like in slavery . For example, you can't love someone in
public, you have to follow big brother tradition, your kids are spies. ‘War is Peace,
Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength’’ (PBS.org ). Having to live in control of Big
Brother is like giving up your soul . I wouldn't be able to live in a era such as 1984 ,being

it's when you know you're finally free.
Is privacy really a phone? Many people today have smartphones. Some people
use their phone daily, and they don't realize that leaving their WiFi on can
easily track you down. This smartphone Tracking will give you the creeps has a great
point on saying ‘’giving away things for free such as maps search email’’. Many
