The RSS feed I found relating to my topic (well, part of my topic...it’s rather huge at the moment.) is an article from nytimes.com. United States federal law enforcement and national security officials want to make it easier to wire tap the internet. More people are communicating online instead of using telephones, especially long distance communications. Officials now want the ability to change regulations and tap into “peer to peer” messaging, even those with encrypted email. That includes your Blackberry, Facebook and Skype. Where is the line between security “needs” and invading privacy? Officials feel given this authority would enable them to wiretap crime and terrorist suspects. I wonder if the security, monitored by wire tapping the internet, will be equivalent to the $3 billion failure of the Mexico-United States border wall?
Interesting article. ~Kim
