Whats wrong with the internet?

This article talks about how privacy has overtaken peoples lifestyles, it talks about the life spheres individuals have to face, such as parents making sure their child is safe online from a young age and therefore doing the same thing even when the child is old enough.  therefore the government surveillance states that the government intervenes in our privacy to keep individuals safe from things like terror attacks. The article also states how people allow locations to be shared and therefore this invaded their privacy. Also by adding your social networking sights on private or keeping them off, giving viewers a choice on whether to see their pictures, statues, locations which invades their privacy significantly, as people can view what the person has done, where they have been and with whom.

There are many arguments that could stated to this point to whether I agree or disagree with the government intervening with my privacy. For example, I think it is wrong for us to be 'looked at' as we should all have privacy and should be able to make sure that we can maintain this privacy by keeping our information, photos, messages private as people would feel uncomfortable with the fact that their messages are being read over. however it is important to acknowledge the fact that there are many good reasons behind this, as its promoting the safety of individuals by tracking down issues such as terrorism or any illegal activity that may take place on the internet; such as cyber bullying.
