Prompt – Answer one or more of the following questions to complete this discussion:
Do you believe that the government, police agencies, or corporations have a right to invade people’s privacy without their consent?
Have you ever had any privacy or content concerns with your cell phone use? Did the claims of either of these essays/articles make an impact on you?
Do you read the entire user agreement when you download apps to your phone or join a social media site? Why or why not? Does the information in these articles shock you or not?
Do you agree with Robert D. Stuart that Law Enforcement needs to establish appropriate controls over the use of social media? Why or why not? Can there be a compromise?
In recent years social media sites have established “Fact Checkers” which have been seen by some as essential to weeding out false information while others see it as a way to censor and block information that the site administrators do not agree with. Do you believe that “Fact Checkers” are a good thing for social media?

I don’t believe that the government, police agencies, or corporations have a right to invade people’s privacy without their consent because this action is a violation of the peoples rights. We are in a free nation with no slavery and the people also pay taxes to the government to have some kind of peace of mind and have services and laws to feel protected. the fact that someone else invades peoples privacy is consider the opposite of safety. Personally it concerns me just to think that someone could have asses to my cellphone. I do have a lot of information that I consider private like my logging and passwords to my bank account, credit accounts that could be very damage if it gets to the wrong hands. I also use my cellphone for work and have private information of my clients that I would not like to get expose to others without any authorization of them. When I was reading the articles in this essay it really impacted me the fact that “FBI and other law-enforcement outfits have been obtaining more and more records of cell-phone locations — without notifying the targets or getting judicial warrants establishing.” knowing this it makes me feel violated and not respected of my human rights. I understand that in some cases is understandable to sneak in some cellphones because they are searching for the criminals and drug dealers but not just because they have easy access to peoples phones records. It really make me think on how I am protecting my self and others after I read this article and It also made me think that next time I have to read the information when I get knew apps in my cell phone. I never pay attention to the little words because I was ignorant of the real facts. Next time I will be concern to the agreement when I download apps to my phone or join social media sites.

Q: Do you believe that the government, police agencies, or corporations have a right to invade people’s privacy without their Consent?
A: I do not believe that any government, police agency, corporation or private entity has the right to invade people’s privacy, but sadly, that is exactly what is happening in today’s world. By using technology and information freely provided by cell phone companies to law enforcement without a warrant, for the purpose of obtaining a person’s location and call history, is illegal and is a clear violation of a person’s right to privacy. “The number of requests for cell information has increased so much, backed by so little proof of need, that magistrates are beginning to question the constitutionality of letting law enforcement seek such information.” (Rottenberg/Winchell p.133-134) This is just another example of how our right to privacy as an American citizen is slowly being eroded away.
