Recent revolutions in the world have changed the way individuals live their lives. With the creation of new and advanced technologies in each era, individuals begin to trust new ways of communicating and storing our personal lives. This has made the Internet and cellular networks the latest banks of information that all companies rely on to keep their personal information safe. With these sources being accessed by people around the world, spy agencies are now looking at these information banks as sources to access the personal information of millions of individuals. With privacy on the Internet becoming increasingly questionable, the debate arises: “Is it ethical for the government to access our personal viral information?” Since gaining access to this personal information, many people have become more vulnerable to attacks and denied their right to privacy. The opposition claims that this information gathering is necessary to ensure public safety. Since personal information is such an important and profound issue, the response of many would be that personal information should remain private and out of reach of the government.

This law they had overlooked prohibited them from accessing the electronic personal information of US civilians without a warrant. Then, in 2008, they created the Fisa Amendments Act (FAA), which made much of their underhanded activity legal... middle of paper... allowing them to continue running these programs.
