In some ways I feel as if we still have privacy. I say this because I am not aware of all of the ways that the government can invade my privacy. I don't know if they can investigate my texts, emails or calls without a warning. I don't know what they can and can not do when it comes to getting into my private life. I would not give up my basic freedoms just to feel safe. I would only give them up if I knew that my life was threatened and that the only way to survive was to forget about my freedoms.
We corrupt our own privacy with the internet. There are too many people willing to give up their privacy by sending revealing pictures. Facebook is a place to put all of your personal life on the internet. The same with twitter. Also, our generation is very verbal with discussing what is only to be discussed behind closed doors.
I am very torn with the extent of my privacy. I know that I am able to keep a private life, but I still wonder what the government can hear and what they can see.
