against

Arguments against my position:

Argument 1: Many people believe that this is an invasion of privacy and they shouldn't have to give up their privacy

"In the same survey 78% of all age groups indicated that Americans shouldn’t have to give up privacy and freedom in order to be safe from terrorism (1% answered “I don’t know”)" (Murata 3)

Argument 2: When privacy is invaded or taken away, it is an invasion on people's free will and sense of character

"When I lose control of my private information, I lose control over at least some of the rights and interests that privacy protect" (Macnish 425)

Argument 3: The data that is collected could be hacked

"Nearly 2 billion consumer records were stolen or accidentally exposed in the United States last year, including personal data on nearly half the U.S. population held by the Equifax credit agency" (Kennerly 121)

Government Surveillance and Why Defining Privacy Matters in a Post-Snowden World "The data breaches raise questions about whether consumers’ information can be protected" (Kennerly 121)
