The government can be very controlling over its citizens. For example, in the novel 1984, Orwell the author invites the reader into a life where Big Brother is the main source of being overpowering over the people. Citizens are constantly being tracked by the government one way or another and in this case it’s through smartphones and cameras. The government shouldn’t be allowed the ability to be in the presence of someone’s privacy at all times.
