Big Brother is Watching You

Big brother is watching you. In fact, he is watching all of us. And now with the help of technology, it is now easier for government to monitor our every move. President Obama is now proposing scaling back a ban how government monitors users who visit federal Internet sites.  The White house states that these tracking services, “can make government more transparent and increase public involvement.” But should the government begin to track Internet users for the sake of government transparency? Since when is the government ever transparent? Critics such as the ACLU argue that this is an unprecedented shift in government policy which raises privacy concerns for Internet users.  If this doesn’t raise some eye brows, two bills were introduced to the President which will allow him to shut off the entire Internet network of the United States in case of a cyber attack. A “Cyber Security Czar” will appointed to oversee such a government endeavor. The president can shut down Internet access for any reason related to “national security.”  This is a disturbing trend which Americans should be extremely concerned about.  We use the Internet for many aspect of our lives, especially for business.  It’s setting a dangerous precedent which endangers the freedoms many of us enjoy. To have so much power to a select few should not be tolerated by the American people. It’s time that we the people start watching the government.Lost Stallions: The Journey Home dvdripMary Poppins rip
