This article discusses how government wiretapping can spread to all sorts of internet communication, even all instant messenger conversations and emails. ISPs are now forced to report virtually all information. This is part of the CALEA (Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act), which congress passed way back in 1994. This doesn’t mean that you are being watched, but that you are susceptible to being watched. It is currently in the House right now. I personally feel that this is a complete breach of privacy, which is a basic human right. Although it can be instituted with good intentions, I feel that no one has the right to monitor what anyone does. People are supposed to have the inherent right to privacy, and I feel that the government is trying to take this away. I don’t make bombs over the internet or things like that, but I feel this is wrong. Like the article says “Write to your Congressman”.
