Online Attacks

On March 30th, 2017 an article titled Republicans Attack Internet Privacy. The article was published to The New York Times by The Editorial Board. This article mainly focuses their argument towards how "Republicans" are taking the communities online privacy of Americans by letting companies like Verizon and Comcast sell advertisers the internet browsing histories and other personal data. Also, the customers are not aware of what history and data are being checked by the government. The Republicans Attack Internet Privacy article wanted to send out a message for those who own a cellular device in the U.S. Most people here in the U.S. do not agree of being stalked for their internet history by the government. Mostly everyone is an owner of a phone which is why this should be a problem for everyone. It is a problem because everyone needs privacy from time to time, no one should feel like they are being watched.  I believe that this fuss should not be allowed because everyone needs privacy, and now because of this, people wont have privacy on their phones. I understand that the government checks phones for any illegal intentions that are being planned, but the citizens who have no criminal record should not feel like a criminal being watched. In my conclusion, anyone with criminal record should be stalked by the government, not the people with no criminal background. We as citizens with clean records should not have the feeling of being watched by anyone, especially the government.
