The Five Eyes) that have continually violated privacy rights without due process and Constitutional oversight. Assange also defines the end of the era of Internet privacy for civilian Internet…

People unknowingly and knowingly give companies access to their photos, camera, and microphone. The…

Discuss the concept of a "reasonable expectation of privacy”. In our textbook, it states, “The Constitution’s Fourth Amendment protection against an unreasonable search and seizure governs only the public sector workplace because the Constitution applies only to state action” (Hartman, 2014, p. 342). This is part of the Bill of Rights that must be followed by probable cause and respected by everyone. When I get on social media, sometimes I don’t recognize how long I’ve been on. If an employee…

Invasion is a strong word, but I believe our government should be able to do this if someone is making terrorist threats. Now that these threats happen all the time, our government has to keep a close eye on everyone. The Unites States has had too many terrorist acts not to invade the privacy of these people. Although I think there is a fine line between invading someone’s privacy because…
