We need to push for change from "summary" of Data and Goliath by Bruce Schneier
The current state of surveillance is unacceptable. The notion that intelligence agencies can snoop on our personal communications without oversight or accountability is a violation of our rights as individuals. We must take a stand against this intrusion and demand change. It is up to us, the citizens, to push back against the encroachment of our privacy and demand that our governments respect our fundamental rights. The technology exists to enable mass surveillance on an unprecedented scale. Our every move is tracked, our every conversation recorded, and our every online activity monitored. This level of surveillance is not only invasive, but it also has significant implications for our democracy. When the government can gather vast amounts of information about its citizens without their knowledge or consent, it undermines the principles of a free society. We must act now to push for change. We cannot sit idly by while our privacy is eroded and our rights are trampled upon. It is essential that we raise our voices and demand that our governments respect our privacy and protect our fundamental rights. We must push for legislation that limits the scope of surveillance and ensures that intelligence agencies operate within the boundaries of the law. Furthermore, we must hold those responsible for these violations of our privacy accountable. The individuals and organizations that engage in mass surveillance must be held to task for their actions. We cannot allow them to operate with impunity, unchecked and unchallenged. It is only through holding them accountable that we can hope to change the current state of affairs.- The time for action is now. We must push for change and demand that our governments respect our privacy and protect our fundamental rights. It is up to us, the citizens, to stand up against mass surveillance and ensure that our voices are heard. Only by pushing for change can we hope to create a future where our privacy is respected, and our rights are protected.
