Privacy or Protection? Let’s Talk!

Should There Be Limits on Government Surveillance?

We all want to feel safe, but how much is too much when it comes to government surveillance? With technology advancing rapidly, governments around the world are using more cameras, data tracking, and online monitoring. For example, Kabul now has 90,000 CCTV cameras installed—read more about it here. But should there be limits? Where do we draw the line between safety and personal freedom?

What Do You Think?

1. Would you feel safer or more uncomfortable knowing the government is watching public spaces? Why?
2. Should there be strict rules on how much data the government can collect from its citizens? What kind of rules?
3. Do you think surveillance helps prevent crime, or does it create bigger privacy concerns?
